Re: [linux-audio-user] Blue snoball USB mic

I have used Jack with two audio devices, a usb device for input and a built in laptop device for playback. There were audible dropouts, but that is because the built in device is poorly made. So using my past experience, it would be possible to use a usb mic as input and a second usb device for output, creating a self contained portable studio.

I haven't tried it, but I've been thinking about getting a USB
microphone too. Remember that JACK can only handle one audio device, so
it's probably not completely trivial to record from an USB microphone
(which is a separate audio device) and for example output to another
soundcard using JACK.
