Hello, (pre-prost-scriptum: improtant informations are quite below!!!) I think I didn't any announcement here before, but the label I created some years ago, and work in by now, released two albums fully realized with free softwares (on a Debian GNU/Linux distribution) in 2008: Sebkha-Chott - Nigla[h] / Tapisseries Fines en XXX Strips et LXX/X Trompettes Sebkha-Chott - De la Persistance de la Mythologie Chottienne en ??? Vélos Both those albums are distributed internationally by the label Muséa Records, and you may find them, freely downloadable and/or to purchase here: www.ammd.net/productions/productions.php and at a lot of other places on the web. You also might find numerous review of those albums, in Google, and so on. OK, that's it for the presentation. Actually, it took us a lot of time, but we finally sent the whole tracks of the 14 multitracks session (in ardour) and the session them selves on archive.org, so that you can use them freely. it's quite big big big sessions, as Sebkha-Chott used to be 8 people at that time and invited something like 25-30 guests to play with. So you might find something like 100-150 (even 180 on one of them, if I remember well) tracks by song. For Nigla[h], there are two options: we did tarball of each ardour sessions directory and we also bounced every tracks in one file, so that you can manage to use them in another multitrack editor. We then thought about it, and had the conclusion that it was a really hard work for us to do all these bounces and exports, and finally it essentially was destined to people using proprietary softwares. So, for De la Persistance, you will only find the tarballs, as we think we have to "encourage" people using ardour, or, if they prefer ecasound or whatever, they probably will be skilled enough to convert the xml file into something suitable for another soft, or a bit worse, they always might do all that export stuff and so on. The archive.org links are listed on www.ammd.net/productions/productions.php Hope you will enjoy it. All our further productions will follow the very same line (there will be one recording session in November for a pop-prog-rock band), and we also aim to release some very huge instruments sample base, as we have the luck to possess a very good studio, and also very good instrument, including, for example, a true Harpsichord, as one of us do build Harpsichords! See you.
