Just barely started. There is just a bare framework showing the things I have thought of that need to be covered. I have done something on internal audio bits and something on dual monitors. I think those parts are usable, the rest are all todo. > What I like is that your blog isn't pretentious, some people might > discount it as naive.

That is why I started with internal hardware... There's not that much you can do to help it, but the things that can be done make the difference between ok and really bad. > For your blog there's still some information missing.

I was able to do what I have done so far off the top of my head. My idea was to have a separate page for each of the topics covered. Anything on the front page is just intro. Enough to help you decide which part will help you. > 1. You did a good job Thankyou > 2. Take a look at Linux audio org.

I don't have the time to take on more responsibility, but I do want to see Ubuntu Studio be more usable. Maybe with some docs more people will use it and contribute to it. > PS: > > I didn't follow and read the links. I'll do ASAP, I already see that you > wrote about impedance.

I'm trying only to give enough to say there are issues. A dynamic stage mic at 150 ohms may have some what thin sound going into a 1meg input. The power riding on a mic input would hold the diaphram off center too. Running into a line input at 10k is less of an issue. Condenser mics probably wouldn't care as they have an amp to buffer things inside. I use a little kawai 4 channel mixer. One mic pre and 3 line... but they will handle guitar straight in (-20 option) The Arts look good too. The thing is real quick a USB audio interface with pre amp is just as cheap... and better. > Btw. I did a lot of home recording by ignoring impedance for mics and > guitars. Sometimes it's even possible to ignore the "+4dB vs -10 to -20 > dB" issue. Yup. Most +4 equipment is quiet enough to handle -10 inputs, but internal mic preamps are not quiet. Those who know anything won't need what I have, those who don't are probably wondering why their system has so much noise. Z gets mentioned for those who know to see where I'm going. hopefully it won't get in the way of the newby. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
