[TriLUG] Record Phone Interviews? Anyone done this?

[Kevin J.]

Carl,
Can you send a link to the headset? I have a friend who is a sound engineer and is looking for a way to get some local band interviews for a Web site.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hey, thanks a ton for the offer Andrew. I found a solution just before I
read this.
I can use a headset with a splitter that runs into my Linux box and will
record
[in this case with audacity] the calls. These will be transcribed to text
for
magazine articles.

Man I dig TriLUG, there's always help.

-Carl
