Dear all,
This is actually the very first track I made with Linux. Recently I
listened to it again and felt this track deserved some more
attention so I decided to remix it. Originally this track was made
with LMMS and I recorded the vocals with Qtractor. I kept the
vocals and parts of the drumsamples and I also stuck with the bass
line for the verse and some of the effects.
So I loaded all the samples into Hydrogen, recorded all MIDI
patterns with seq24 and inserted the plug-ins I wanted to reuse
into Qtractor.
Well, that was my intention actually. I ended up rerecording guitar
parts and added quite some extra samples. Also the number of synths
steadily grew during the process, same for the amount of plug-ins I
used.
This is what I came up with, just freshly ran through LinuxDSP's
MBC2 (it's an electro-ish track so I compressed the hell out of it):

Stuffs used:
* Yoshimi Analogue Bass running through a C* Pre-amp and the
Crossover Distortion plug-in
* Yoshimi Dubstep (custom patch), I did the cut-off live with an
Akai MPK Mini
* amSynth Synth Strings 1 patch
* SO-666 Feedback Drone LV2 plug-in (LOVE THIS ONE!!! Thanks for
this plug-in Jeremy Salwen!!)
* WhySynth DragonPurr
* MDA Vocoder + Yoshimi Hard Synth
* All guitars (Fender Tele and OLP Music Man) done with Guitarix
and the Redwirez IR Library
(

* Lots and lots of Calf Compressors and I think every track (about
20) has a different reverb plug-in (TAP, FreeVerb). I also used
quite some Calf Vintage Delays for the guitars and the SO-666. And
2 or 3 Calf Phasers. Oh yeah, and the SC3 plug-in to duck the
SO-666.
* Most drum samples are from the LMMS sample set, I decided to
re-use those. The crashes are from the GSCW2 Hydrogen kit.
* Last but not least, I added a little Glockenspiel in the bridge.
First I wanted to use the Glockenspiel of the SSO library but that
specific set of samples is not so great so I drove to our rehearsal
room to pick up our drummer's little Glockenspiel, mic-ed it with
the first mic I could find (an AT2020) and got it on hdd within a
few minutes.
Basically I used Qtractor as a mixer, Hydrogen to host the samples
and seq24 for the MIDI patterns and automation of Qtractor. Works
like a charm. Hope you like it. Feedback is always appreciated!
Best,
Jeremy
