Hey LeRoy,
I use audacity. It should already be in your repo.
What version of Debian are you using?
lsb_release -a
If audacity (or kdenlive for that matter) is not in your repo, then consider using snaps to install both.
https://snapcraft.io/audacity
https://snapcraft.io/kdenlive
If your on Debian 9 or 10. You can install snap(d) to get access to snaps.

There might be a way to do the voice over within kdenlive, but I'm not sure. You might record with audacity and import the .wav into kdenlive. If you are capturing video from your machine's desktop and trying to record audio at the same time, like so many computer how-tos on YouTube, then you should check out OBS (Open Broadcaster Software).
Are you editing video produced from a camera? Or are you trying to record what is on your desktop?

Subject: [nmglug] Can anyone suggest an audio recorder?
Hi NMGLUG folks,
Does anyone have any experience using an audio recorder?
Can you suggest any audio recorder that works well?
My specific need at this moment is to record voice-over audio files which I will add to videos which I'll edit in Kdenlive.
Thanks in advance,
LeRoy
