May I ask what piece of software did you use to make the tracks ?
A tracker, maybe ?

Thank you for sharing


Hey! thanks for getting back!

Maybe my messages didn't go thru?

So, no no software for sequencing (well... akai software of the mpc500 and some octatrack) hence the title of my thread:
*Music made _with fun_ thanks to GNU/Linux* 
;)

I use ardour as a mixer and its sequencer to delete eventual errors that occured during the recording session. Pretty oldschool to be frank, but my workflow was build on physical recorders. I am a big fan of Lee scratch Perry style. 

Maybe some of you notcied that i really love the calf plugins suit. Especialy the compressors and spaciotemporal FXs (delay reverb). I usualy go one take for the beat, one take with "instrumental" adlibs, one take for vocals, and some takes for backing vocals. In that order. But tracks like "Ner I Malmö" or "Par Hazard" are pure oneshots vocals included, that i ran thru a compressor before uploading. Some tracks i ran thru JAMin also. But i've got a lot of work to do on my mastering skills. I still tend to lose focus on what needs what when i fiddle with finetuning.

Please feel comfortable with asking anything about what how when and whatnots :)

Yours,
