Not much has happened since the last time I wrote - I've been busy working, going to shows (most recently the fantastic Anna von Hausswolff and Wildbirds and Peacedrums, both very inspiring) and watching Twin Peaks. I've recorded some bass and vocals for a song, but there is no finished result yet.
I have some plans, though: two solo "albums" or EP:s this spring: one with my "pop" songs, with quite a lot of melodies and guitars, some toy keyboards and some sampling; one with more austere bass-oriented songs that I could perform with only bass and vocals if I wanted. As per usual, the end results will probably differ a lot from what I've planned, but there it is. Also, I will try to establish some routines and schedule time for playing/practicing/recording. Now that I'm not in a band anymore it's hard to find the time to really work with music.
As for my Linux-related plans, I intend to play around some more with the Hydrogen beta, and also make more use of the seq24 sequencer and the Specimen sampler. If I would stumble upon a cheap midi foot controller, I would try putting it to use with SooperLooper or something.
My next post will be a little more subtantial, with a collection of useful links to Linux music related issues.
I've also been watching Twin Peaks. Unfortunately, getting near the end... :(
SvaraRaderaMy band has just started some very rough demos (still looking for a singer). We record them in CuBase (I think, it's the Bassist's PC) but I mix them in Ardour.
Here is the first track that I've nearly finished mixing (still not quite happy with it): http://ten.ynottony.net/Music/00.%20Head%20in%20the%20Sun%20(demo).wav
Do you import each of the track separately and then mix them in Ardour? Do you master the tracks (eg. with Jamin?)
SvaraRaderaI haven't yet listened to your recording but I will!
