Hi there<br>
<br>
<a href="http://opensimo.org/play/?a=Azer0,Counternatures&s=1">Takkadum</a>
was made mid 2011 right before Automation was available, around
0.4.something, I guess<br>
<p>18 tracks : 10 MIDI tracks and 8 audio ones (using flac
containers) ; </p>
<ul>
<li>One 3 channels bus to sidechain-compress the 303-style bass (<a
href="http://www.rncbc.org/drupal/node/196.206.69.128">nekobee</a>)
with the kick (a free 808 Sound font played by fluidsynth) using
<a
href="http://plugin.org.uk/ladspa-swh/docs/ladspa-swh.html#tth_sEc2.90">SC3</a></li>
<li>the other cheap DR55 Beat elements are made with <a
href="http://ll-plugins.nongnu.org/lv2/rudolf556.html">Rudolf
556</a></li>
<li>A <a href="http://dssi.sourceforge.net/hexter.html">Hexter</a>
synth is doubling the bass in the subs
</li>
<li>The organ is a <a href="http://calf.sourceforge.net/">Calf</a>
organ</li>
<li>The Lead synth is a <a href="http://calf.sourceforge.net/">Calf</a>
Monosynth</li>
<li>The guitar is a g10 double coil Ibanez in a focusrite preamp</li>
<li>The microphone is a chinese Neumann knockoff in a focusrite
preamp</li>
<li>The girl asking "what" ? in the background is called
Fatima-Zohra</li>
<li>Everybody is EQ'd with LADSPA C* 10 bands Equalizer from CAPS</li>
<li>Everybody is comp'd with Calf compressor DSSI</li>
<li>There is a LADSPA "Fast lookahead limiter" on the master out
bus</li>
<li>The final bounce, a "normalize" and a quick and dirty fade out
are made in Audacity</li>
</ul>
<a href="http://opensimo.org/play/?a=Azer0,Counternatures&s=7">Kleb
Station</a> (summer 2011 too) uses <a
href="http://www.rncbc.org/drupal/node/307">pretty much the same
setup</a> with <a
href="http://linuxfr.org/users/philippemc/journaux/kleb-station-une-chanson-100-libre">more
instruments</a> plugged in, a little automation (it was just out,
and already worked really good) and sidechain-ducked bass ; I play
on all the tracks.<br>
<br>
BTW the <a href="http://opensimo.org/play/">CMS</a> linked is a
personal developpement, that automatically builds album pages by
reading the tags (and optional - cover & stuff - images). It's
yours if you want it.<br>
<br>
I used GNU / Linux to make music since around the time Jack was
introduced. I spent coutless nights teaching myself how to use just
about every single system available, and I always came back to
Qtractor. Everything makes sense in Qtractor. And when it seems that
it doesn't, a quick message on Rui Nuno's blog and you're out of the
hole.<br>
<br>
The development is steady, focusing only on the core of the matter,
and the result is a solid system, usable right now.<br>
<br>
Qtractor does not even try to be <i>everything</i>, it wants to be
useful in the middle of the huge Linux audio production ecosystem,
talking nice to everybody, implementing new techs & protocols
silently, never breaking what's worked so far, bringing it all
together. For me, it's the standard against witch I can compare
everything else. <br>
