comment Software for Live Multi-Tracking Recording & Mixing
Does your M-Audio gear come with some DAW?? I remember when M-Audio would ship with some limited version of Pro-Tools.. Maybe you could use that..

comment What is the output of an iPhone headphone jack?
Interesting side-note, the external speakers on the iPhone are 'mono', and I believe only output the left channel..

comment Lavalier for video production
I have used the Giant Squid mics, but they are electrets need 5V biasing voltage (also called "Plug-in power") .. So you will need to check with your camera if they support that or need a battery pack in the middle.. I believe the H1 should support it..

comment Is Garage Band a viable tool for home recording?
Yup. The way I look at it is, start with Garageband (it's much cheaper than the alternatives) and if you really feel the lack of things, then you know you need to upgrade.

comment Best way to mic up a group discussion
Would be interesting to know the kind of environment you're recording in.. Is it in a room or outside? Will it be noisy?

comment Hacking up a podcast functionality with the Behringer XENYX 1202FX.
"Duck" is generally an automated effect or track-attribute you can add on your DAW.. That will reduce the volume of a track when the other track has some sound, and will bring it back up when the other track has no sound. For example, in Garageband, it's the small up/down arrow in each track control.

The alternative to Audio Hijack (and equally awesome IMO) is Wiretap Studio from Ambrosia..

comment Monitoring multiple USB microphones
@Brad. That's news to me. When I had researched on using multiple USB Mics for Windows, most places indicated that it's dependent on the Mics, and if they support it, since it's not built into the Windows Audio stack..

comment Monitoring multiple USB microphones
@Brad. Yes. Agreed. It can work on Windows, but it only works with specific devices, and is more complicated to setup than the way the Aggregated Devices work on OSX. It's built into the Audio Stack and supports all USB Audio I/O devices. P.S. The site for these drivers is giving a SERVFAIL currently..

comment Monitoring multiple USB microphones
Yup. On the Mac, it works without adding too much complexity, but still stability is an issue.. You can look at small portable mixers to make it simpler and mobile. I have had my eyes (I have wanted to do the exact same thing as you) on the Zoom R16. samsontech.com/products/…
