I am helping at a Community Centre in Bristol, UK
which is using Free
Software for everything (
http://3ca.org.uk). Last weekend I
successfully managed to record 3.5 hours of live music using Adacity and
create a .ogg. I have never done anything like this before and am not a
sound engineer or musician. I am particularly impressed because I only
started looking for the software 3 hours before the doors opened.
Anyway this has sent me on a mad journey this week which has involved
building ardour/jack and jamin from source. I've never built anything
from source before. I am going to attempt to record another gig in a
couple of weeks using this combination. Anyway...
Firstly was wondering if there are any introduction texts for audio
mixing/mastering on the web anywhare, not nesseseraly related to this
software as I am a total beginner and want to understand the basics.
Here's a good one:

Here's another good one on why louder is not always better:

Then there's Ron Parker's response to Rip Rowan (above link):
http://jamin.sourceforge.net/Loudness/loudness.html
There's a ton of stuff out there. Just google for audio mastering.
Secondly was wondering if there was any way of using
audacity/jamin
together. Idealy I want to use ardour/jamin but audacity is a lot
simpler and is a good fallback.
Not until Audacity becomes JACK enabled.
