You can theoretically set a single A/D convertor as the master clock for conversion, and cause the other sampling devices to slave to this, but it is not an insignificant problem.Ĭheck out ubuntustudio - although I just run Ubuntu, and load the programs I want. This is probably why you are only doing single channel work. You will be much better off using a multichannel interface (4 channels?) as coordinating sampling on multiple USB convertors is a real work of art. I have never needed a driver, and run this in native Ubuntu. At church, we run presonus devices, one 32 and one 4 channel. I also run 4 channel sound using a usb interface also from behringer. I record multichannel sound on Ubuntu using a Behringer XR-18 which I love to use - I can get 18 channels into the computer using Ardour, or a command line program using 'arecord' and 'sox' creatively. There are going to be lots of possible answers to this question, and if you want to coninue this with Ubuntu, you have a lot of resources available. even a small 2 channel one would work great, especially if you're just laying down ideas. just take the line out from the amp (or mic the amp), then put it into the interface and voila. There are plenty of linux-compatible ones out there and it will make your life easier, not having to deal with drivers for amps. I know this is straying from the scope of the original post, but my last suggestion is to invest in a cheap audio interface. I've worked as a sound engineer and have recorded 4-hour shows on 8 tracks with ardour.įor example let's say you want to take your guitar signal and send it through some guitar effects using Rakarrak, then send it to record to ardour, jack will let you do this. it's a pretty hefty program but it's more powerful than audacity. One of the best DAWs for linux is called Ardour. Jack is an audio server that allows you complete control of where sound input and output goes.

If you're going to get started with audio in linux i suggest you install Jack, it's a little intimidating at first but there are plenty of tutorials out there to learn from.
