Hi
Am planing to start making podcasts, and i have just got myself a Rode podcaster usb microphone. i have tried this mic on many different distro but on all its detected but i can´t get it to work.
For audio recording i have looked and tried Audicity software. but i have failed to get a printable manual for audicity.
What i really need is how to get my mic to work, any information about podcasting with Linux.
Have a great day.

Audacity on Ubuntu 8.04
Joe if you're running Ubuntu 8.04 Audacity is broke. 8.04 changed some the audio sub-system. I think it's pulseaudio... if you remove it and just use alsa I think you should be set. I actually went back to 7.10 and have had no problems with audio.
re: Audacity on Ubuntu 8.04
Another idea. Given that PulseAudio is the future (at least for now), it's probably better to work with it rather than against it. Sadly not all apps (audacity included) are there yet. A better way to deal with the issues is with the padsp wrapper. Say you want to run audacity, you would use this command.
To run Kino and have it automatically read in all .dv files in your current folder, you would use this variation.
Try this anytime you are fighting with older software that isn't quite PulseAudio aware (or friendly).

Might I humbly suggest that you check out the following article, right here, written by *ahem* myself? You may find that it covers all the basics.
