    Microphone Adventures with Linux Mint

    Yes. There is a lot to think about. In the end I bought a simple, cheap and cheerful usb mic - Samson Meteor condenser Microphone Analogue - and it all works great. Just plugged it in and away it went. I opted for a mic that didn't need any drivers. Apparently only the cheap ones don't come with...

    Thanks Wiz. Once again you will be impressed with me. While waiting for a forum response I Dr Googled 'Linux Mint. How do I install software not in the Software Manager?' My socks shot across the room trying to read esoteric musing something about terminal stuff. Then I came across someone...
