It was the Behringer XENYX 1002 -- a small, two microphone unit. We've just upgraded to the XENYX 1204.

Thanks! I just discovered the beta version of Audacity incorporates FFMpeg importing directly -- so you can import nearly any kind of audio file imaginable. And the Compressor and Fast Look-ahead Limiter are great tools for getting sound levels to be more consistent.

Cool to hear about your setup – and you’re right in line with all the linguists using Audacity for editing/export to MP3! It’s a great program.

I wonder what they will do about old religious books? Maybe not as much of a market.
If they get too big, they will become like AIG, GM- too big not to bailout form excess or bad business decisions.
