guys, first of all: sorry for bad english :-) after some time of doing cover stuff with my little project of hobbymusic we are now able to present some own compositions on www.besonic.com/schmidt_und_schneider In a first step three songs made it to that place, some more will follow step by step. We are two people, the compositions and vocal stuff are provided by my friend Harald, while I play the Guitars (except a few rhythm tracks) and do the technical/software stuff. Recording and mixing was done in Ardour on my Lenovo R61, Lexicon Omega Studio USB or alternatively Focusrite Saffire Pro 10, OS is openSuse 11.1 with selfcompiled rt-kernel. In the song "mit Dir" I used Hydrogen for drums, Horgand for organ and bass sounds, Qsynth for some strings sounds. In the other two songs we saved time and reverted to a Boss JamStation using some ready-to-use backgroundsounds from there. Regarding Guitarsounds for recording I tried a lot - like most guitarists I think. There is some promising stuff out there in the open source world which I check out frequently, but currently I must say I lost my heart to the fabulous simulanalog guitar suite, which is running in Ardour as plugin without any problems: that Marshall sound is amazing - in direct comparison e.g. the POD2 has no chance. Now, last not least I would like to do a little advertising amongst the German members here: because it is relatively expensive to transfer money to USA we started an initiative on www.audio4linux.de to put some money together in order to support the ARDOUR project, our goal for now is min. 500 Euro, which is then transferred in one action. We already did that successfully earlier in the year, and yesterday, when downloading Ardour's new version I thought it might be a good idea to continue, I will put 50 bucks into the hat... thanks for your attention best, Susanne _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
