Re: Looking for someone to record a cello track for my composition

Hi Tobias, the cello track still needs to be recorded, yes, so thank you for your offer. I considered using a commercial service but I haven't gotten around to re-recording the backing track yet (I want to make it a bit faster and replace the acoustic guitars and mandolin with better versions). I'll...

Re: Libre Music Challenge #22: General Midi

Here's my feedback for this month's entries and my votes are in as well. A-Lin - General Relamidity Smooth sound mix and the track is overall very pleasant to listen too. Many GM sounds are used inventively outside of their usual context. Extra karma points for including the "Tubular bells"...

It seems you need to install subversion (svn).

Next question: Should dials show numeric values, or should numbers be hidden to encourage "trust your ears"?

Absolutely show actual values. And let the user enter a specific value via the keyboard. And if you can, use actual real-life units like dB, Hz, cents, etc.

Re: Libre Music Challenge #22: General Midi

Uh, the 2nd submission wins all loudness wars :) Yeah, to get chain of sausages even in the SoundCloud waveform is quite an achievement! :lol: ---- BTW, I added a link to the Ardour session archive of the project to my submission post above. I hope the external files for the IR and the amp sim plug...

Looking for someone to record a cello track for my composition

Do you play the ceo and are willing and able to record a cello traxk on a composition of mine? I can provide sheet music, a backing track and an Ardour project for recording. The piece is roughly in the style of an Irish ballad and the other instruments are piano, guitar, bass, mandolin and a low wh...

Re: Libre Music Challenge #21: Radium

My critique of the submissions (also voted): A-Lin - Poptikus Good use of stereo movement Nice contrast between Karplus-Strong plucks and sine arpeggios. The intro until the lead comes in at 0:50 could be shorter. When the chord pattern changes at 1:28 a stronger change in instrumentation (e.g. adde...

Re: Spotlight Kyd - Angel of Ice (MODX Mix) [Synthpop/Synthwave]

Thanks, guys. Glad you like it!

I delayed putting this out for far too long, because I had grandiose ideas for a video, which I never managed to put into reality 8)

Re: Libre Music Challenge #20: Vitalium

Here's my feedback... All in all, I think this was a very solid round of quality submissions. All tracks had something going for them and I enjoyed them all. A-Lin - Kermeas Sound design: Great juxtaposition / separation of sounds: Trance lead vs Soft Plucks vs Meaty Bass Snare is very much just noi...
