Windigo is the first completed song for a 15 song Peeled Alive album. It will be included on a compilation album I’m producing titled Step Up to The MIC, Mirror Image Compilation.
Recording and mix production were done using Ardour/Mixbus. Mastering is done using T-Racks–checking out the competition.

NOTE
I did ‘lame --noreplaygain IN OUT’. Not sure what I think of replaygain. The original encoding was reducing my percieved loudness by -5.5db which is seems radical.
sounds really good! T-Racks is hard to beat for ease of use. I used it for years (actually I’ve only very recently moved away from it). If you’re interested in using linux, I suggest trying the vc2 compressor with jamin to achieve a very similar sound to that which you may find in T-Racks. It does take a bit more work, however. Nonetheless, although I don’t personally play this style much (anymore ;-), this is a great example of what’s possible with Ardour.
Thanks for the feedback. I’ve mastered albums and participated in JAMin development since its inception but there’s a couple problems with it on Mac/intel; a, OSC doesn’t work and b, the release of JAMin I got from Seablade clips. Unfortunately I don’t have time to care about these issues or to maintain a dedicated Linux mastering computer. After many years of splitting my energy between tech issues and music I’m focused on producing music.
JAMin is a fine mastering solution and I happily used it for many start-to-finish albums. Combined with Ardour Locations I never needed anything else. Oh well! Moving on.
