        Very nice! Impressive!

        
    Wow, thanks a lot Louigi, I can't feel my head right now.

    
    BTW, I wanted to tell you that following on your
      enthousiastic and enlightened article about harmonyseq, I made
    a
      quick (and quite free-wheeled) tutorial / workshop for it.
    It's in French, but Rafał read it though google translate and found
    it cool ; I'm just saying.

             Hi there

              
              Takkadum was made mid 2011 right
              before Automation was available, around 0.4.something, I
              guess

              18 tracks : 10 MIDI tracks and 8 audio ones (using flac
                containers) ; 
              
                One 3 channels bus to sidechain-compress the
                  303-style bass (nekobee) with the kick (a free
                  808 Sound font played by fluidsynth) using SC3
                the other cheap DR55 Beat elements are made with Rudolf 556
                A Hexter synth is doubling the
                  bass in the subs 
                The organ is a Calf
                  organ
                The Lead synth is a Calf
                  Monosynth
                The guitar is a g10 double coil Ibanez in a
                  focusrite preamp
                The microphone is a chinese Neumann knockoff in a
                  focusrite preamp
                The girl asking "what" ? in the background is called
                  Fatima-Zohra
                Everybody is EQ'd with LADSPA C* 10 bands Equalizer
                  from CAPS
                Everybody is comp'd with Calf compressor DSSI
                There is a LADSPA "Fast lookahead limiter" on the
                  master out bus
                The final bounce, a "normalize" and a quick and
                  dirty fade out are made in Audacity
              
              Kleb Station (summer 2011 too) uses
              pretty much the same setup with more instruments plugged in, a
              little automation (it was just out, and already worked
              really good) and sidechain-ducked bass ; I play on all the
              tracks.

              
              BTW the CMS
              linked is a personal developpement, that automatically
              builds album pages by reading the tags (and optional -
              cover & stuff - images). It's yours if you want it.

              
              I used GNU / Linux to make music since around the time
              Jack was introduced. I spent coutless nights teaching
              myself how to use just about every single system
              available, and I always came back to Qtractor. Everything
              makes sense in Qtractor. And when it seems that it
              doesn't, a quick message on Rui Nuno's blog and you're out
              of the hole.

              
              The development is steady, focusing only on the core of
              the matter, and the result is a solid system, usable right
              now.

              
              Qtractor does not even try to be everything, it
              wants to be useful in the middle of the huge Linux audio
              production ecosystem, talking nice to everybody,
              implementing new techs & protocols silently, never
              breaking what's worked so far, bringing it all together.
              For me, it's the standard against witch I can compare
              everything else.
