Please use thread titles that describe what your question is---many people will not even open a post that just says "help".
Also, "urgent" is not likely to do much except to maybe make us yawn.......
I don't know what "Mobile Preamp USB" is, and I don't know what kind of mixer you have. We will also probably need to know something about your computer and sound card, and the Linux SW you plan on using.

It's considered a good idea to not insult moderators, but since your so set on making it worth our while to help you.... yawn. Last thing people need is something acting like a stuck up idiot when informed of the correct way to act on the forums, more so a moderator. So I don't think you'll be finding any help any time soon with your attitude.

I don't see any sarcasm in pixellany's post. Please, note he is a moderator here at LQ so it is his duty to remind people to use thread titles which explain the subject of the thread itself. The aim is to get help more quickly, since many people here does not even read thread with the word urgent in it. To me the pixellany's post was just a wise advice to you. No reason to attack him in a so rude way!

First, I simply gave advice: It is well-established here that titles like "help me urgent" do not always get good results. Part of the job a moderator is to help people get help. (In spite of the vitriol, I am still operating in that mode.)
Second, I see no response to the substantive questions--asked first by agrestic, and then by others. The first thing to do when you need urgent help is to respond to people's questions.

What's your problem? Are you that sensitive to a simple suggestion from pixellany. If you think writing help or urgent will get your post read faster than anyone else, you are kidding yourself.
The purpose of good titles is to help readers pick a post where they might be able to help you with. For example, if a linux user was into music or podcasting, most likely they have used mixers and other external components with their linux system and could offer you suggestions or solutions.
All pixellany did was give you some advice on posting, no need to blow up on him.
