Music. Photography. Thoughts.
While I read (and wrote about) some bad news for users of music software on Macs lately, here are some much better news for users of Debian 10 “Buster” (like me for instance), or Ubuntu 18.04+ (like Zuleikha for instance).
I’ll have to work now, and I still have a track or three in my DAW to play on, but after that I’ll try the (falkTX’s) new repo, and report about it all. Stay tuned, as they say.
Ok; off to the treadmill now…
P.S.: wrote about this for my friends in the ‘loops as well…
Just received a terrific remix on a track on which I also played:
The sax is by ‘Fishinmissio’, so the list of musicians – one has left the loops under this account – is like follows:
Thanks Mark for your great Sax! And thanks to everyone else for listening.
Here’s Don, Ali, and me:
Ali isn’t on Wikiloops as far as I know, so it doesn’t make much sense to show the list of musicians with just Don and me.
Oh, and this is of course not my normal fretless bass, it’s the Karoryfer “Meatbass” which is a great free sample library of a 1958 Otto Rubner double (or contra) bass:
So thanks to Karoryfer and to Ludwik for the nicely sampled instrument as well. You guys rock!
As always, thanks for reading, and for listening.
Got this one on Monday:
And I used it together with a free synthesizer in Ardour to record this:
This has several remixes already (three alone this morning), and for one of these remixes I used another free virtual instrument, and I also borrowed this from Zuleikha:
This is Zuleikha’s Ortega “ruocean-ce” ukulele which was one of her birthday presents for her 14th last year. As you can probably see in the photo (or read in its product description), it has an in-built tuner, so it also has a piezo pickup and a preamp built in – and so you can plug it in directly into an interface like I do it with my bass guitar as well. For the recording I used this, and I also used my Røde NT-1A microphone to get my fingering noises on its strings (and the foot-patting, couldn’t really filter all of it out).
Not that easy to change from a bass to that g’-c’-e’-a’ tuning of the little thing… 🙂 But for the few chords (and a simple Reggae rhythm) which I used here I think I figured it out…
The three remixes from this morning were all on top of that recorded piano/ukulele one, see the ‘loops if you want to hear these.
And as always, thanks for reading, and also for listening.
With Zuleikha’s latest upload from last Thursday, we completed an album featuring her as well as other ‘loopers and myself. So here’s the cover, the sleeve, and a link to it:
So please listen to it and/or download the album on its page on Wikiloops. See my other albums in the widget area on the right of this page (also with links to their respective pages).
And as always, thanks for reading and/or listening.
And she did it all by herself, after I made her a template in Ardour so that she can load and play Alexander’s “Salamander Grand”, a very nicely sampled Yamaha C-5 Grand Piano. Sounds like this:
I’m very proud. Now she doesn’t need me any more and can do it all by herself.
Thanks for listening.
I don’t know if it was Dick (Richard) or his wife Diana who took this one of me end of August last year, but I do like it (tho the nice Jazz Bass isn’t mine):
I also made a b&w conversion of it, with a bit of a white border:
As always, thanks for viewing.
This is Ray (g, voc), Jean-Paul (violin), and me (b):
Enjoy – and thank for listening 🙂
Edit, from August 21st: ‘Jypeka’ (Jean-Paul) has remixed the track to adjust the loudness to his taste – and now I can take this version for the next album, so I have him and his avatar on the list of musicians as well; cool! So here is his version:
The list of musicians (“mixer” = also “violinist”):
Thanks again for listening 🙂 And merci a JP for making this remix 🙂
Hey, it’s Saturday – so I went to the club with Paul & Chris a bit. Let’s have some fun:
List of musicians:
Thanks to the gang for the fun, and to you for listening 🙂
So here is my upload / remix #100 since I joined Wikiloops in February 2018:
List of musicians:
As always, thanks to my friends on the loops for all the fun, and thanks to you for reading, and for listening. Now going on with my time travels…
