I did try switching the input to my computer sound card, and plugging my headphones into the laptop - that did work (tho obviously sounded terrible with my laptop internal mic and computer fan noise). It seems that I need some way to stop monitoring from my mic (which is basically an interface,yes?) whilst still being able to playback… (I already disconnected output from the master track) I can solve this by going to the mixer and disconnecting the output from the Audio 1 track I am recording on, but…then I can’t hear anything on playback… However I’m getting a double input when recording - I can monitor my voice but it sounds echoey. My headphones are plugged into the microphone (NOT into my laptop) so I am able to monitor and listen to playback - if I understand correctly I would need Ardour 6 to monitor via my laptop sound card whilst recording from my Q2U mic Hmm…so this morning I started a new ardour session just to keep playing around, and this time recording seems and playback seems to be working fine…odd but I’ll take it (still on 5.12.0). Thanks for any help, sorry for the noobieness, I’m really quite confused by ardour’s complexity… If I need an interface I’m thinking I will get this one, 4 inputs mean it is more expensive but I’m already planning a second podcast that will have me and 2 co-presenters… One question I have is that the product page says this mic has a " built-in audio interface" which makes me think it should work to record in Ardour, but maybe not? My mic is a Samsung Q2 so it also has XLR and an earphone socket so it will plug into the interface no problem. My (very basic) understanding is that my mic and headphones will plug into the interface, then the interface will plug into my laptop via USB, and with a bit of setup (routing?) within Ardour I will be able to basically switch between recording and editing very smoothly within Ardour. So …do I need to buy an audio interface to make this work? Ideally I’ll be able to edit and also re-record sections on the fly all in Ardour. Right now I have to come out of ardour, record my edit in audacity, then import into ardour - as a workflow it’s not very efficient. However this is definitely slowing down my workflow: I’m podcasting in my non-native language which means I make mistakes, I only spot them while editing so want to re-record small sections quite often. The reason I record in Audacity is because I am using a USB mic, and there seem to be technical reasons why that’s not a good idea / doesn’t work without significant technical set-up in Ardour. I’ve started a podcast and my current workflow is to record in Audacity then edit (non-destructive!) in Ardour. I’m new to Ardour, and fairly clueless about sound engineering - I’ve come to Ardour from Audacity - I’ve read the Ardour manual and watches some youtube videos, but…wow…I need a little hand holding!
