Anticipating - Made in AVLinux

[limuxic]

I shared this on the LAU mailing list, but I though why not here as well?
It's what all this is about, in the end.

So, here we go:

Anticipating a simple tune with a few challenges set.

1. To make a v simple chord progression interesting for 3 mins
2. To start the collaboration with Richard Miles. Richard is a colleague of mine and a science teacher. Last year he discovered his amazing talent for poetry and already wrote 15 samizdat (self-published) poetry books. I sent him the basic idea, and he returned the lyrics, basically;-]
3. To further learn the art of final production on Linux Audio. This time using the wonderful Linux DSP suite on AVLinux - particularly the Valve Compressor and the Graphic Eq while mastering. The vocals and bouzouki use the Linux DSP Reverb as well.

Recorded on Muse 1r3 (compiled from source), Ardour and a few additional plugins (gates and compressors)

Critical comments (deserved) and praises (undeserved) are welcomed.

Sounds great, I can't stop humming it in my head! Very nice production and the solos are smokin'... is that a bouzouki? The only suggestion I would make is to have less reverb on the drums especially the snare and perhaps use a little more "acoustic" sounding drumkit, but that is just an opinion. Great job! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comments, guys (I guess?)

Yep, that's the Greek Bouzouki.

As for the drums, one week I need to sit down and sort out my drumming samples (including learning the Tapeutape). Till then, I use 'default' samples that do the job.

thanks again,

Viktor
