recording audio with a microphone

K

I want to record my own podcast using a microphone. What hardware and software do I need? I have used Audacity to edit sound and I like it. I have an old microphone that plugs into a mike jack and I've used Audacity on Windows XP to record a test podcast, but I'd like to use FreeBSD. I don't know how to make FreeBSD recognize my mike. Would a USB mike be better?
 
I solved my problem. I used gmixer to raise the mike level and recorded with Audacity but I'd still like some information on other people's hardware and software setups.

Do USB microphones work with FreeBSD? Which ones? Can I use two USB microphones at the same time to record two people?
 
usb mics work fine, but do you want them!

Most USB microphones should fork fine in FreeBSD, but you have no hardware monitoring in such a setup. Depending on what you do this could be really a nuissance, software monitoring just lags too much.

I'm currently using a simple USB microphones, and have it working fine, as third sound card, patched into ardour3 with jack.
