LinuxMusicians

Hello,

in our Linux Audio Proof Of Concept project we try to find out, what can
really be achieved with free software only in the field of music making.
We use only some must-haves of affordable hardware (mixers, mics) to
have a situation similar to the typical Mac/Win home recorder, that
emulates outboard-equipment with VST etc.

Our Computers run 64Studio, JAD1.0 (without wineasio) and UbuntuStudio.
The main tool is Ardour2 whithout VST. All apps are GNU, all samples are
recorded by us and we had only one session with a Line6 pod in witch we
recorded about 20 seconds of the material we present hereby:

Both are in a demo-status, the first (ashita) needs a final mix and
mastering, the second will get a bass line and some more extras also and
will be re-recorded in a open demo-session with a band at the
Brandenburger Linux Infotage in Potsdam/Germ on November the first this
year.

We also released some raw samples of drumkits and guitars:

licensing-infos.


Any comments, hints and derivatives are highly welcome!

Great project. Great that you share this with us also with all the information you added to it in the read me file!
Thanks!

Some comments on the first song:

- nice violin, the sound fits well with the guitars
- good drumming, good sound (I noticed it in the 'second' part of the song).
- Guitar sounds Rock, Maybe the guitar solo has to many notes and plays it to many on the beat (could be more on the 'offbeat')... (counts also for the second song)

second:
- heavy guitar sound (does me think about Metallica, but maybe its dangerous to use that name... )
- good drums
- voices fits well with this kind of music. It could be louder IMHO...

But I am not an expert in this kind of music, maybe someone here is?

Thanks again and good luck with the project!

edit: maybe you can add the samples to our wiki? > free audio
