In Ubuntu 14.04 there was a small audio recorder package that was just called "Audio Recorder".
Does anyone know what that actually ran? Or is it available for Q4OS?
Any suggestions for a small, lightweight, simple audio recorder?
(I use it to record narration for my youtube videos and usually run it while Openshot is running, so something that does not hog a bunch of resources is what I'm looking for)

There is a command-line utility called arecord, very low resource usage if that's any help, man page is at
man arecord
and should give you some useful info.
Also just checked apt-cache and there is a package called krec-trinity which could also help.

Thanks Dai. I'll check them out. I seem to recall playing with arecord, but can't remember much about it. I'll look into it!

To record your own mic to wav file do:
arecord -v -f dat output.wav
To record to mp3 (requires lame)
arecord -v -f dat | lame - output.mp3
it can be a pain sometimes getting it setup how you would like it, and I would guess krec-trinity would do it considerably easier (but I haven't used it before)
