tech question : can you tell us a bit more about your workflow?
First of all: Thanks a lot for your story!
First of all i'd like to start from a consideration: there's a big work to
do before recording, even before placing microphones. You must have a clear
view of the final result before starting with any operation IMHO.
For this work i started listening to the demos and picturing in my mind the
sound of this band, then i talked to the guys, change some song structure
and arrangements.
After this:
...
because it's well known that Ardour gets slow (and sometimes crashes) when
working with many many regions.
With aprox. how many regions do you encounter such troubles? I only feel
Ardour slow down a bit if I use considerable more than 40 Tracks and
lots of plug-ins. And I do not get crashes that I could relate to the
fact how big a project is.
I do not work with multiple play-lists per track though...
Reamp
Once i had the "perfect" guitars and bass takes, i sent the signals out
from my sound card to a reamp box (i use this one
http://www.radialeng.com/di-xamp.htm) and then to some amps. I recorded
them in order to have the bass amp sound summed to the direct one and to
have "bigger" guitars obtained with different amp sounds mixed together.
Sweet :-) Did you also try reamping with Guitarix and/or Rackarrakk?
Drums Replacing
I did some drums replacing on the bass drum and the snare using
ladspa-trigger.
Synths
Once the midi parts were well defined i sent them to soft (Yoshimi,
Nekobee, amsynth for example) and hard synths (i had this Yamaha digital
piano a Korg 01WFD and a Roland jp 8000) and recorded them into the Ardour
session.
Mix
I mixed all the tracks together using many ladspa and lv2 plugins like
Invada, Calf and others.
Mastering
I exported groups of tracks from the mixing sessions and imported them into
a new one, then i used some soft eq and external compressor.
and also the pitfalls you encounter when using linux apps (like this app is
great, but when you do this/that it crashes or does weird stuff or starts
to 'suck real bad'
Except for the Ardour issue explained above i didn't encounter many weird
things.
Hope this can be exaustive enough.
Thanks again! Such infos are most valuable.
best regards
HZN
Cheers
