Hi all,
As some of you may know Linux.conf.au is on in Canberra, Australia
at the moment and that today we had an audio mini-conf followed by
a performance night.
The standout tonight was a duo called Deprogram:
http://www.deprogram.net/
who performed some great electronica with live keys and vocals over
prerecorded tracks. The backing tracks had been recorded on and were
being played back using Ardour running on a Linux laptop.
The performance was simply stunning. The fact that Ardour, Jack
and other linux software was used in its production and performance
is a *huge* validation of what we have been doing all these years.
Absolutely. The sound quality was excellent - so clear, everything cut
through perfectly. It sounded a lot better than tons of shows I've seen
run on Windows/MacOS, so clearly operating system isn't the limiting
factor here :)
If anyone says that linux doesn't have the tools to mix/master
professional sounding tracks, they're wrong. We have proof!
