[linux-audio-user] Music material - Gnomes

Hi! So I made a pure percussion track for Steve D - but also everyone else, who would like to use it as basement or for cutting up :) Full mix with a little reverb: http://ccmixter.org/people/thorwil/thorwil_-_Gnomes_full_percussion_track.o… Single dry tracks are linked from http://ccmixter.org/media/files/thorwil/3566 I chose ccMixter because it is aimed at such things and provides visibility outside the lau/lad community. Sadly they have a filesize limit at 10 MB, otherwise the full mix would have been flac, too. An early version of this made someone on #lad think of gnomes moving stuff around and suddenly running away and hiding when the houseowner looks after the noise. I tried to make it a bit more to that story. All sounds come from custom Om patches. For drum_1 3 Fm operators are triggered seperately, influencing each other, with 2 of them having audio outs. slight offsets between the trigger notes change the sound in interesting ways because of this. Dave is my hero for this gift to humankind, even though I more or less have to use an old CVS version ;) All MIDI mouse-clicked in MusE. Also used for recording. Removed the files from the arrangement to normalize them (even though there was almost no headroom) in Sweep and to rename them. Audio file handling is realy a bit weak in MusE, but it's all straightforward. Reimported the tracks to add reverb. Used a single reverb (gverb, afair) in one group and groups for the audio tracks to have send levels. I also like this approach to insert highpass filter in front of reverb for tracks with bass / kick to avoid low frequency smear. But found it unecessary in this case. Thanks to the developers of all the fine software, making things like this possible in an open environment! Looking forward to work based on this. Don't hold back with criticism or imitations of this procedure ;) --- Thorsten Wilms
