I am helping at a Community Centre in Bristol, UK which is using Free Software for everything (http://3ca.org.uk). Last weekend I successfully managed to record 3.5 hours of live music using Adacity and create a .ogg. I have never done anything like this before and am not a sound engineer or musician. I am particularly impressed because I only started looking for the software 3 hours before the doors opened. Anyway this has sent me on a mad journey this week which has involved building ardour/jack and jamin from source. I've never built anything from source before. I am going to attempt to record another gig in a couple of weeks using this combination. Anyway... Firstly was wondering if there are any introduction texts for audio mixing/mastering on the web anywhare, not nesseseraly related to this software as I am a total beginner and want to understand the basics. Secondly was wondering if there was any way of using audacity/jamin together. Idealy I want to use ardour/jamin but audacity is a lot simpler and is a good fallback. Thirdly - and this is the most important question - any advide as to how to master a deck mix for recording/streaming. I am planing to use jamin to do this but general advice/other options also good.
