Swedish hiphop album made completely in Linux!
Posted: Wed May 08, 2013 10:58 pm
(I realize I've been posting this on a lot of other sites too, and I'm sorry if I annoy anyone.. 
)
Me and two of my best friends have a Swedish hiphop group together, where I produce the music/do the tech stuff etc, and they rap. We just, FINALLY, finished and released our first album, and it's completely made in Linux by us, from the first recording to the mix and master! I'm very happy that it has been possible to do this using almost exclusively free and open source software and plugins, it's incredibly fun!
The album consists of 13 tracks, and it's hopefully fairly different hiphop to what people are used to. But, it's all in Swedish unfortunately
.
Just a quick list of software and plugins used:
KXStudio and its tools is the basis for it all (shoutout to falktx!)
Ardour2
Ardour3
Some Hydrogen
Calf plugins
Salamander Piano
TAL NoiseMaker
linuxDSP plugins
Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra
zita-dpl1
and likely more, just that I can't recall it all!
If you want to give it a go and check it out, even though it's in all Swedish, you can find the album (and Raptimus Prime in general) here:
Bandcamp: http://raptimusprime.bandcamp.com/
Soundcloud: http://www.soundcloud.com/raptimusprime
Album on PirateBay in various formats:
FLAC: http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8451980
OGG: http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8451976
MP3: http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8451978
It's also available at Spotify if anyone uses that.
Cheers everyone! Thanks all of you in the community, for making it possible to have so fun with free and open source software!
