OH!, i forgot to mention my opinion of USB mic's.. personally, i think they are great if they meet your needs.. they are "one trick pony" "uni-tasking" devices.. for example, you may be able to get a nice USB audio device and a nice actual mic for not much more cost than a decent USB mic, and those 2 things are *much* more versatile.. if you have a USB mic, for example, and you later decide to purchase a nicer preamp, you cant use it.. the USB audio device can also provide a nice instrument input, and be used as a fully functioning sound card.. so, for my money, i consider a USB mic to be a little bit of a wasted investment, unless the user is *only* doing something like a podcast, or only speech or one channel at a time with a mic.. good luck
Thanks for the advice. Yeah, getting a dedicated audio interface sounds promising. Like you said, the hardware needs to support linux properly. Normally that wouldn't be an issue since I can easily find out from the internet which interfaces are linux compatible, getting them is more of a problem. E-commerce where I live, is a mess; Amazon US has everything though, but shipping will cost me a fortune. So that just leaves running around audio shops and picking up the right stuff. I'm a bit low on cash these days anyways, so I'll get the mic and the interface later.
