This is actually the very first track I made with Linux. Recently I
listened to it again and felt this track deserved some more attention so
I decided to remix it. Originally this track was made with LMMS and I
recorded the vocals with Qtractor. I kept the vocals and parts of the
drumsamples and I also stuck with the bass line for the verse and some
of the effects.
So I loaded all the samples into Hydrogen, recorded all MIDI patterns
with seq24 and inserted the plug-ins I wanted to reuse into Qtractor.
Well, that was my intention actually. I ended up rerecording guitar
parts and added quite some extra samples. Also the number of synths
steadily grew during the process, same for the amount of plug-ins I used.
No comment on the music, just the tech quality: it sounds horribly
distorted, in particular the vocals. And with a peak to RMS ratio of
6 dB or so that is to be expected.
I'm sure that's a stylistic decision, rather than an accidental mistake
-- the distortion in general and the relatively flat dynamics are quite
common for this kind of track. I might not have had the vocals distort
quite so much in the loud passages, though I've no doubt that it was
deliberate.
Thanks Jeremy, I enjoyed this! Some great sounds in there, and a great
progression through them, too -- it never sits still for very long at all.
Thanks
Leigh
