I'm a guitarist/singer and I'm looking to record some acoustic stuff. I have a condenser mic, but I would need an audio interface. I'm not looking for a fancy setup, just bare bones really. Any recommendations for an open source audio workshop? What's my cheapest quality option for an audio interface?

Thanks!

Back in the day, roughly 20 years ago, I used a Roland Edirol UA-25 for that kind of stuff. It's durable, not very costly, and it can supply phantom power if needed. Not sure of that one is still available, but if not I'm sure a successor is out there.

As for software, I really like bitwig, as it has a native Linux version in addition to mac and windows. And their customer support department is excellent: They extended my trial period solely because I asked nicely. I bought an actual license a few months ago, and it's one of the better software purchases I've ever made. Right up there with Factorio.

EDIT: This seems to be the successor to UA-25: https://www.roland.com/global/products/rubix22/
