[LAU] New song: Yassin Philip | Carrier Phone

Hi, Happy Listers! My new song "Carrier Phone <https://youtu.be/yu3eTXVvepo>" is fresh out, live now at https://youtu.be/yu3eTXVvepo and even buyable at http://manyrecords.com?album=21&song=1 :) It's been a wild ride. Working with QMidiArp (LV2 plugin version) can get a bit hard on the nerves ;) there is definitely /something/ inside. On the news front * There is only *11 tracks*, of witch 3 are just for drums ; * My old AKG d125 mic (listed as "vintage" on the internets!) has replaced the "Studio Project B1" Chinese Neumann copy that I've used a lot last year, and that I can't even hear anymore (hiss!) Stay away from those ; * The drums are /actually played/ on my Toy MIDI DrumKit <http://linuxfr.org/users/philippemc/journaux/jouer-de-la-musique-avec-des-jouets-rockband-drums> but yeah, heavily MIDI-edited afterward ; * The big (250Mg) Fluid GM2 soundfont that is available all through debian sound really good, if you don't use it yet, try it ; * I used a new toy: VEX <http://www.anticore.org/jucetice/?page_id=8> a 3 oscillator "subtractive waveROM synth" that is very stable and exposes everything to automation ; * There is a "remix" of that song coming soon. Well, a litteral fork of the session ; * QTractor is getting better and better. This new "direct access" mixer strip feature allows for a more natural workflow, the name of the game being "never open a plugin GUI" :) It is mixed down through Jamin, with the basic default preset. I'm not /entirely/ satisfied with the mix/master, I think it lacks the oomph of my last song "Off the Grid <https://youtu.be/Q4B0_38bICo>". I hate that accidental part of the mixing process, and the heterogeneous feel it gives to the album. Otoh, certain cult albums of mine do sound like many sessions put together: XTC's "Skylarking", Magazine's "Secondhand daylight" or Alain Bashung's "Play Blessures"... Oh well. As always, thanks a lot for your critical listening :) Phil
