Hi John, The Raspberry Pi can be used for audio recording, but it does not have a microphone jack, so the sound has to come in through USB or a custom sound card such as this (which claims to support 24-bit!): http://readwrite.com/2014/03/11/raspberry-pi-wolfson-sound-card-3-ways-to-use-it/
Raspberry Pi is not optimized for low power consumption, so if you're looking to run off of battery you might have better luck with other board-based computers which are a bit more careful about power. I've heard good things about Beaglebone. best wishes, jesse On Wed, May 25, 2016 at 10:39 AM, John Kearney <john.kear...@ns.sympatico.ca > wrote: > Thanks Jerald.
