I've used e.g. it in Pure-Data-workshops to quickly give attendants a working system with Pd, jack and all that on their laptops. > No need for a laptop, a hardware recorder or anything, just cheap stuff > you can use at home as well. > The result isn't going to be a high quality recording anyway, because > the location is likely not a studio or anything, but it would allow to > just pack the stuff into a small backpack and record something at any > place with a computer, using linux ;) > > Currently I wonder which audio interface would fit best. > It would need to be usb and work well with the linux distro out of the > box and jack, which, I think, is probably a bit problematic. It's not problematic, unless you're dealing with ppc-machines or so, newer macbooks also can be tricky. Other than that, just get a USB soundbox that's supported by ALSA, check the USB device list for that: http://qbik.ch/usb/devices/ An example setup could be pure:dyne on a 2 or 4 gig USB stick with the Behringer U-Control USB device. Fits in every pocket, cost is less than 50 Euro/Dollar.
