## Hardware

### Microphones Support

* All built-in microphones, although we highly recommend an external microphone
* All USB microphones
* All XLR microphones with an audio interface
* All virtual microphones, although we recommend against it to avoid latency or quality impacts\
  48 kHz sample rates

<Warning>
  **Recording from multiple mic inputs?**

  Due to system limitations, each computer can only accommodate one microphone input at a time. If multiple participants are recording from the same location, you have a couple of options:

  1. **Share One Computer and Microphone**: Everyone can gather around a single computer and use one microphone. This setup will produce one audio recording with all voices combined on a single track. Please note that it's not possible to create separate recordings for each participant if you're sharing the same equipment.
  2. **Use Separate Computers in Different Rooms**: To avoid audio feedback and manage individual recordings, participants can use a separate computer in a different room. This ensures that each recording is clear and isolated.

  For any participant joining remotely, they can connect to the session as usual from their location.
</Warning>
