Hi all,
I caught the flu last week and between feeling sick and sleeping I
managed to pull together a new mix (hopefully the last) for my old tune
"Computerville". You can listen to it at:

Apps used:
MusE-0.7.1 with simpledrums + various LADSPA effects
ZynAddSubFX-1.4.3
Jamin
Non-software stuff used:
El cheapo mic + preamp
What soundcard did you use? This would be good info to post in these
"music made with Linux" threads.
Lots of hardware has a reputation for good or bad sound and it would be
helpful to have some evidence to back it up.
i kept meaning to mention this, so here's a full rundown of what i used,
in all it's ugly glory (gee, i hope this is going to be used as evidence
as "good" sound!):
* soundcard: SoundBlaster Live 5.1
* guitar: Yamaha EG 112 (Strat copy)
* bass: some generic piece of crap i borrowed from a friend ... it says
"Custom Craft" on its neck.
* microphone: Sony ECM-MS907 (it's a mini-disc mic, great for recording
live performances, probly not the best for vocals, but ...)
i plug my guitar into the mic input of my mini-disc recorder (Sony
MZ-R701) and have a lead going from the MD's headphone jack to the
line-input of the SBLive (i've read in various places that the line-in
of the SBLive gives much better quality than the mic-in). this gives me
pretty good control over the input signal from the convenience of the
mini-disc recorder (setting the "Rec Volume" on the MD to "Manual"
from
"Automatic").
i do pretty much the same for the mic as i do with the guitar.
same with bass.
