Vladimir Chicken - Keeping It Together

Community Made With Ardour
#1

I just released my first solo single which I’m very excited about! :sunglasses: All the recording and some mixing was done in Ardour 5 & 6.

Highlights of using Ardour were the excellent performance on a not-new laptop and the very flexible editing tools, and of course the Linux support. I found various bugs, but apart from one issue the autosave and autobackup features saved the day. So thanks! (I will allocate a day for submitting the bugs to Mantis when I have time!)

Plugin wise, I enjoyed a lot using Guitarix, and made good use of the Calf compressor, x42 eq and the new CHOW Tape Model plugin. I bought some great Loomer plugins (Resound and Sequent) and also the u-he Twangstrom reverb, all of which sound amazing.

When I started learning music production back in 2006 it felt like Apple or Microsoft were the only serious options. It is fantastic to be at a point where Linux can do everything I need. So thanks to the many folks who made this a reality! :star2: :metal:t4:

You have a very personal touch. It’s just what we need in this age of uninteresting songs that are like copies of each other. Your single was like a breath of fresh air :slight_smile: I really liked it, thanks for sharing :slight_smile:

Thanks both for your kind words.

Nice job, very experimental and funny! The other song’s title (“Meet me in Matosinhos”) is inspired by some place in Brasil? I think there’s a city with that name here (I’m brasilian).

It’s inspired by the area near Porto, Portugal. Which no doubt has a Brazilian counterpart!
