The basics of the technical aspects. I recently posted here trying to clear up some questions I had come across in researching what audio interface I'd wanna get. People's responses gave me new questions, and I realized that there was a lot I didn't know and needed to. For instance, I don't feel like I know enough to discriminate between options for guitar/mic preamps or DI boxes. I know that some mics need 48V phantom power, but I don't know why. That sort of thing. And I'm reluctant to keep mining the users of this mailing list for answers to questions for two reasons. One is that it's a little off-topic, since I'm not really asking about *Linux* audio, but just audio. The other reason is that I come from a tradition where you don't ask other people questions about technical stuff until you've made an effort to learn about it and figure it out on your own (out of respect for other people's time as well as the higher education value of trying to get it yourself first).
