Frankly, who cares? (rock/disco, all FOSS, Ardour 6)
I used Ardour 6.5 on Linux.
For the lyrics video I used Blender.

Especially in the drums it might shine even better with better samples/sounds. Besides that it's a clean, straight mix. Even the drums work with the genre. With everything else, I'd simply prefer better quality.
Splendid piece!

Totally agree.jeanette_c wrote: ↑Wed Mar 24, 2021 10:07 pm Especially in the drums it might shine even better with better samples/sounds.
The point is: the drum pattern has been initially generated by an open source drum machine / arranger (JJazzLab) and then heavily edited: that drum machine sounds ok with its own soundfonts, so to use better samples I'd have had to remix all the single drum sounds. I did not, because I'm lazy I preferred trying to improve drum sounds with compressors and equalizers, I thought it would be faster. For my next song, I'll try to work more about drum samples, promise!

The brits do this a lot! The Smiths and The Cure being the champions of that and most notably, Pink Floyd and Dire Straits.milo wrote: ↑Fri Apr 02, 2021 6:48 pm This is an interesting piece. The dark and rather cynical lyrics juxtapose ironically with the bouncy and relatively upbeat music. It's a great trick in pop music, put to good use by The Smiths, especially, but also others. Your track reminds me of Stephen Merritt's music, particlarly this brilliant song: https://youtu.be/S1KTuYXc2Gw
@Senbee your songwriting skills and musicianship are astounding, as usual!

I don't do it on purpose but actually, being Pink Floyd and Dire Straits (and brits in general) my favourite kind of music since a was a child, I realized it's a natural tendency I have
