Not the simplest: but ardour [1] has a nice visual mixer, besides it is
possibly THE tool to record, edit, cut and master the interview with.
audacity [2] can do the job as well, and if you just want to record
without any GUI: 'jack_capture' or 'arecord'.
Just the very tip of the iceberg:
'meterbridge' [3] is a nice & simple graphical VU-meter.
jaaa - JACK and ALSA Audio Analyser shows the spectrum..
A simple but efficient recording tools is "timemachine" [4] - it can
even record audio from the past :)
Of course, all mentioned tools are available via `apt-get`.
have fun,
