[LAU] Recorded in Linux: c2016-11a : test

Greetings, This is an improv-based track. Still fighting with trying to get decent levels and dynamics in mixing. This one can be basically acoustic guitar over a synth bass and drums. With some extras characterized as loops. Whoa. Am listening to the soundcloud upload now. It is incredible how much processing goes behind the scenes. The soundcloud version sounds much more "upfront" (for better and/or for worse) than what I have locally here. The lineup is: as always, Shiraki acoustic guitar. Bass is u-he ACE init patch. Played drums consists of a bass drum and a snare samples. That would be basically it and captures the spirit of the improv. But then, other elements were added as decorations. Amongst these there is a u-he Zebra patches from The Unfinished and Colin Neff, a u-he Bazille patch, and loops from Perimeter Sound, Mode Audio and Earth Moments. All recorded in the Mixbus variation of Ardour with good help of Robin Gareus x42 meter plugins. Again, the struggle is to get decent dynamics and mixing levels that brings life to a piece with confidence that it will not overload a listener's audio system or require drastic change from the previous pieces that were listened to, taking into account genres. https://soundcloud.com/nominal6/c2016-11a Cheers.
