Hello Music and Synth lovers,

every Synth Nerd has to do a "Switched-on" track at least once, I guess. 
Since my sister married recently again, this was the perfect opportunity 
for me to see what I could do with just one monophonic analog 
synthesizer module from Behringer for my interpretation of Bach's famous 
"Air" from BWV 1068.

Listen to or download the track from my Nextcloud instance:

I recorded this with Ardour 6 on Manjaro Linux, track by track, first as 
MIDI and then replayed and recorded as audio, so I could ride the filter 
cutoff or other parameters during recording. Then I exported the stems 
of all audio tracks, re-imported them into a a new Ardour session and 
mixed it there, using a 4-band EQ, a compressor and several reverb sends 
on each track, chorus and low-/highpass filter on a few track, as well 
as a multi-band compressor and EQ on the master bus.

Equipment used:

- Behringer Pro-One
- Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 Mk 1
- Tuxedo Laptop with AMD Ryzen 7
- AKG K240 Headphones

Software used:

- Ardour 6
- ACE Compressor
- Calf Multiband compressor
- EQ4N EQ
. Glame High-/Lowpass Filter
- LSP Impulse Reverb Stereo
- SamplicityM7 Impulse Response "Boston Hall A"
- CAP PlateX2 Reverb
- YK Chorus
- x42-dpl Limiter


Share & Enjoy
