We broke a B string just before recording and only had a G string to replace it with, so the higher he played on the fretboard the more out of tune it went. Hard to fix at 1:00 AM. The guitar should be rerecorded anyway. We mic'd it really close with a large diaphram condenser (amateurs!) so it came out too boomy with no ambiance. And in parts it almost sounds like a banjo and I have no idea why. I'm also hoping to pick up an all-tube preamp/compressor before we do that. That was just done with the preamp on a cheap (LTO) mixer. Well, I played the keys, so I would have kept them and put less bass and a bit less vocals, but Joey mixed most of it without me. ;-) On Mon, 2004-12-06 at 20:14 -0600, Reuben Martin wrote: It's a pad, and yes, it's too loud. We're going to rerecord the keys anyway, because we mad a stupid mistake during recording and ended up recording both channels on the same track (essentially mono-fying the beautiful Roland waveforms). Originally, we had the voice sample (heard in the last chorus) doubling the piano, but it was too much, so we settled on a pad. It's still almost too much too. Maybe I'll go to just very mild strings. Thanks for the suggestions. Austin

En/na fooman ha escrit: The controls are more graphic ; it doesn't mean better, they are often only stupid and "beautiful" but sometimes more usable. On the other hand at LADSPA I didn't find an equivalent for Autotune(but I saw there's smth new at the list :) and "Amplifier Simulators" (I'm not english and I don't know the word for this...) like "Guitar Rig" or Steinberg's "Warp" for guitar, or "Vintage Warmer" for bass. However when Vst is ready at Ardour (it's still in beta stage I think), we will be able to use them. :) Finally Cubase, it's still more usable than Ardour, so a lot of work has to be done.

And I agree with whoever suggested that the finger-picked guitar needs remixed, it's basically disappearing after the mix fills out, and it's a nice part that would add a little more variety to the front of the mix. Btw, I already have a "music made with Linux" section on the Linux soundapps pages, perhaps you could either add to it or use it to start your own list: http://linux-sound.org/music.html I've been collecting the recent spate of URLs for recordings that have been posted to LA* and the Ardour and Rosegarden lists, I'll update that section Real Soon Now. Like maybe before Xmas... Best, dp

It would be as much about self-promotion as linux software promotion. My site could handle a fair bit of bandwidth... 20 GB per month would be fine. You think we'd use more than that? If so, we could use something like gnomoradio to distribute the music... Austin

Might I suggest posting these tunes on a site like music.download.com or garageband.com? These are public sites that host music from independent bands/musicians, etc. -Joe On Tue, 2004-12-07 at 12:32, Dave Griffiths wrote:
