hi all here's my latest ardour production ... http://www.machinehasnoagenda.com/music/media/the_girls/the_sailor/03_-_the_girls_-_couch.ogg this is my first linux production where i've collaborated with other people ... sort of a "band" situation, but as usual that doesn't seem to be panning out. is james "killer bee" on bass and some backup vocals, and rose on flute and other pipes ... rose is a friend who i didn't know had played a bunch of wind instruments growing up (recorder mainly), so it was a pleasant surprise to find out she did. we've both got kids though, so we only got a chance to do a practice session so far ... i managed to edit it into a nice shape, so i'm going with it. you can hear some mic noise near the beginning from recording the flute, but it was such a nice flute phrase i had to keep it ... plus maybe it sounds like someone sitting down on a couch ;) i hope rose don't mind me jumping the gun here - i think she *really* wants to work on the flute (and i guess i'll let her ... ), but me likes the ricketyness. this was recorded into ardour, with hydrogen as the drums (the drums really, really irk me ... especially the crash at the end of the choruses). the xylophone is from hexter (or xsynth?) ... ladspa plate reverb on vocals and other ... used Guitar Rig for guitar (plus SC1 ladspa compression plugin) ... specimen to get the handclaps in ... the organ is either ZynAddSubFX or B4 - i'm pretty sure that's a B4 sound, though ... please - tell me what you think!!! shayne
