Hi, I started recently with playing together with a little jazz combo; piano, saxophone, voice, bass. We record it sometimes with a H2. - What do we need (hardware) to record such a 'live/ practice' session with Ardour? - Is it possible to improve the recordings of a H2 using Linux software? Regards, \r You would need enough microphones and pre-amps for the instruments and drums, and a multi channel audio interface to transfer them to ardour. Unless you plan on building a home studio, in my opinion, it is much less of a headache to use the H2. I used to just do a stereo recording of groups that I play in and teach using a pair of Rode NT5s --> Aphex101 pre-amp --> presonus firebox --> laptop running ardour. I have since bought a sony PCM D-50 stereo recorder which is a lot easier to deal with. It is less gear to haul, no need to string cables around. If you play/rehearse in a good sounding room then the H2 can do the job just fine. Experiment with placing the H2 in different places in the room. -pf _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
