Given that I record my music entirely under Linux, I was very happy to hear of the [Open Source Musician Podcast](http://opensourcemusician.libsyn.com/?ref=wootangent.net); so much so that I've already contributed my own segment to the show. In the recently-released [episode 26](http://opensourcemusician.libsyn.com/index.php?post%5Fid=554092&ref=wootangent.net), I discuss the equipment (hardware and software) I use to record my music, as well as the workflow involved.

In other news, I got an awesome new studio toy on the weekend -- I replaced my Singstar mic with a Rode NT1-A condenser mic. While I've only had a brief chance to play with it, it sounds very clean and clear, so it's a revelation compared to the hissy, muddy mess that I got with my old mic. It also came with a shock-mount and pop shield, so it looks très professional in my mic stand:
