Hello folks ;-)
I understand that some are wondering, where the Linux-made music went...
So here I have another track recorded with Ardour 2.8 under Linux using
free Software, free Samples and some Guitars and voices excluselively:
http://lapoc.de/demos/maria-katharsis-feelings-080709.mp3
The singer is from siberia:
http://www.myspace.com/marachowska
(still dwelling in the evil, not-so-good looking empire of imperator
Darth Murdoch and the rotten HTML/JS-code from hell - the so-called
"myspace")
She sang the tune in her russian mother-tongue accompanied by herself on
an accoustic guitar, miked with an AKG Perception 100 and an RFT DM122
so voice and guitar is not separated. A man named Vincent played a
slideguitar and a metal-ish outro and I added some additional clean and
heavy guitars using my Ibanez RG and Guitarix and
AMS-Guitrack(C*-Plugins) and some fat Drumsamples using a Behringer
U-Control and Specimen.
Everything was recorded and mixed with Ardour 2.8 with some CALF and
INVADA LV2-Plugins plus several LADSPA-Plugs(TAP, C* and SWH) for
reverb, delays, FX and compression/EQ. In the end we mastered it with jamin.
We hope you like it,
*All* kinds of comments are highly welcome....

Hello Hartmut!
the song has a very special kind of charm to its name. The singer's voice is
certainly one I would recognise, only after having heard this song. Always
reminds me a bit of "child in time" though. :-)
The recording quality sounds nice to my ears, the drums sounds, with their
effects, sound really fat and much to my liking.
And here is the BUT :-) It sounds a bit out of time sometimes. And in a way,
that suggests to my ears rather misplaying than controlled chaos. :-) The
cymbals on the left sometimes have the feeling and one of the distorted
guitars. It creates a disturbance in the flow of the song.
Besides that though, it's in its own way: lovely. Although I wouldn't really
use "lovely" as a description of the song. :-)
Friendly regards
Julien

again you proved your most acute hearing, Julian :-)
indeed we had not had much time yet to finish the song. As of now it is
based on a first take-demo that we recorded without a click (I'll never
do that again...) so it was quite challenging to synch the overdubs.
This goes for some of the guitars. Vince heared the tune the first time
as he dropped by in the studio literally on his way to spain, so we
recorded some ideas and the outro was one, Maria liked the most.
The cymbals are on my account though - seems i just forgot to correct
them... thanks again for pointing me to those :-)

Interesting and very peculiar and personal song, Halmut.
And, as Julien, It reminds me Deep Purple's "Child in Time" and I also
add my BUT ;)
There are some parts out of tune in the begining and some other places
(guitar and voice at least). And maybe try to make it smoother when
you turn the volume down on the distorted guitar, unless you want
exactly that way.
Thanks for sharing.

I liked this song too.. To my ears, the timings were OK (and for me
timing is usually a real issue). The thing that jarred for me though
was the sound of the electric guitar - way too digital (and clean
though distorted) sounding for my liking. A dirtier/darker (perhaps a
humbucker guitar?? - I'm imagining this was on a strat or similar?)
more valvey sound would suit the song better I would say.

I'd definitely agree with James. The electric distorted sound is too digital
for my liking too. Or to clean as in manicured. :-)
Best,
Julien

This I heared from many sides now hmmm....
I guess, I should rerecord these guit-tracks with a somewhat more
"organic" sound. I like the transistor/hifi-feel of them but I will see
how it works with another sound.
Thanks a lot for your oppinions, they are most welcome :-)
btw: what about the other stuff:
http://lapoc.de/downloads.php
?
I had a server-crash last week so more or less all of the stuff is in
new versions....

Hello Hartmut!
Well, that's just my liking. I'm a lot into 70s music. You might reduce the
clean and clinical effect, by adding a bit more room to the lead-track. It
sounded so close and all overriding. Perhaps even a small volume lowering
might do some good for a starter, without anything else. In my memory the
guitar sounds a bit like it is playing too much in the foreground, as if the
rest was incedental while it goes on. :-) But a more organic feel would still
be very cozy to have. :-)
It's all just opinioning away..
Kindest regards
Julien

My take on this is just that I appreciated the style and 'weight' I
didn't notice any particular problems until other people mentioned them.
