[LAU] Music recorded with Linux: c2015-19a

[jonetsu at teksavvy.com]

Greetings,

This piece is a longer one that develops a bit slowly.  I made up a
tag for this: AcousticWaveRock. The instruments are acoustic guitar
and acoustic bass guitar, to which a few synths sounds were added as
well as drums and percussion, sampled from a Korg Microstation
JazzBrush Kit.

What's new in this project, as I progressively learn, is the use of
what is called 'multing' tracks, eg. taking bits of a track and
copying/moving them to another track.  This was used to move some
guitar parts to another track where a delay, for instance, was
applied.  It could have been done with automation although using
another track is simpler IMHO, especially when a different EQ is
chosen.  No automation curves to make.

Also got recently a headphone amp (Behringer HA400) that's connected
to jack's 3 and 4 playback outputs (1 and 2 still remain connected to
the M-Audio studiophone speakers), the audio card being a 1010LT.  It
is now possible to listen in stereo ! Previously the headphone jack
from the M-Audio speakers was used, and it did not give much of a
stereo effect.  The switch from one set of playback device to another
is done using Ardour's monitor output choices.

Also, there's the use now of two mics for each of the acoustic
instruments, each mic recording to its own track.  There's an AT2020
in omni mode, no cut, and a M-Audio Pulsar (not Pulsar II).  

This piece 'goes forward' in the sense that themes only occurs
once. When they occur they are repeated, but they do not come back
later.  The supporting structure stays the same though.

Cheers.
