Hey, it's a really nice song, I was listening to
it 20 times or so,
I will show it to my friends.
Thank you. :) And likewise to the others who've commented -- glad you
liked it.
* midi controller (midi keyboard)?
It's a Studiologic SL 990 Pro, which is a piano-sized weighted
keyboard. It was cheap and feels nice to play, but it has the downside
that its key action is very loud -- you can hear it thumping away on
the main vocal track on the recording.
* mic and mixer console?
Behringer B-1 and UB1002FX. (But the mixer's only being used as a mic
preamp in this case; all the real mixing's done in Ardour.)
* software? did you added some reverb? (it seems not)
* why didnt you used a gate for the voice channel?
There's a little bit of reverb and compression on the original, but it
was a pretty quick recording so I didn't spend much time mixing it...
Here's a "morning after version" with some more tweaking -- added
gates and reverb for the vocal tracks as you suggested:

Also: do you feel that the FF layer should start
sounding at lower MIDI
velocities, I mean, when you press the keyboard with lesser power?
I think if anything it's a bit *too* sensitive at the moment -- I had
to turn the velocity sensitivity down on my keyboard to avoid
triggering the ff layer all the time.
Do you think that the MF layer should sound brighter?
Do you think it needs a PP layer?
The mf layer sounds fine to me. I'm all in favour of having more
ability to play quietly, though. ;)
BTW: where are you from?
Canterbury in the UK.
BTW2: I like short nights ;) Now here in Argentina the
sun is down
at 18hs and it's a little bit sad.
Heh -- oddly enough since I wrote the song a couple of weeks ago, it's
been raining pretty much continuously here...
Thanks very much,
