They are all really important to me because I do not know much about the topic. As at the beginning all the configuration is only to practise, we don't need a perfect sound. So we will try with our mic inputs, and a headphone amp, and see what happens. If that isn't enough for us, we will try with a more pro audio card. I will post our advances here, just in case anyone is interested in the solution. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
