Hello,
Other points have been dealt with, but I might have some ideas about the
last ones.
4. On an unrelated note, how do sfz files work? Are they sort of like
sf2 files, which I can just load up on Qsynth or something?
SFZ files are just what you say, a sort of like sf2 files (compression
algorithms may differ), that can be played with some players, although I
have not tried them with Qsynth as yet. I play them on Win..... software
and they sound well. There might be a question of property rights though.
5. For the microphone, is it ok get a USB microphone? I heard that
it's messy handling multiple sound cards with jack. If yes, then what
is the best way to connect a microphone?
As far as I have tried, it is possible but messy or complicated to deal
with multiple sound cards, especially different ones, with Jack.
The best way to connect a microphone is simply on a good sound
interface, where it is made for. I mean : input 1 or whatever is
microphone input. Then you may have to think about what soundcard or
interface, keeping in mind it has to be useable with Linux/Ubuntustudio
and your computer with its possibilities and limits. See the ALSA wiki
pages about that and for a list of compatible sound devices.
I have a RME UCX that works very well, but it's expensive and needs a
good powerful PC. I used a multimix USB4 before and might be a good
choice as prices go.
Anyway, get a good quality microphone if you want to get good sounds,
and think about it as a whole : microphone+sound device+computer, as the
sound you will get will be dépendent on the weakest piece of equipment.
regards,
Jean
