Hi all, Check out http://www.soundclick.com/bands/8/eastsidemilitiamusic.htm After getting Specimen to an acceptable state, I threw together this proper demo. It has no vocals since me and my larynx don't get along, but I encourage anyone who so desires to rectify that deficiency. I used Seq24 for MIDI sequencing, Specimen for sampling, and Ardour for recording. Except for the guitars, everything in this song was produced by Specimen+Seq24. Someone on this list asked me to keep a detailed journal of the process by which I created this (unfortunately I can't remember who). Well, as far as the Linux side of things goes, it's not very interesting. I used the aforementioned tools in a typical fashion. For general recording, any account I have to write would be duplication of effort. Instead, check out: http://www.tweakheadz.com/guide.htm Oh, and give the song a listen beyond the cheesy introduction. That part is meant to sound cheesy. If the rest of the song sounds cheesy, then I'm a failure, but have patience with the intro ;-) [pb]
