A sampling of some tracks on the instrumental album I'm working on. I'm one quarter done and thought I would share a bit.

I decided to check out the demos for Toneboosters ( www.toneboosters.com ) plugins after hearing that they have released Linux native versions.
Really impressed so far. Thoughts in thread:

Really helpful list of nice audio plugins that release native Linux versions. I’ll be looking at this more closely as I eventually move towards the mixing phase of my album.

Onto re-recording a solo classical guitar piece with my new condenser mics! My SM57 version just felt noisy and flat, based on my experiences so far with the GA FC4s I think this is going to sound like a totally different track.

4/16 tracks "done" (will mix and master the whole album later). 25% done feels like a nice milestone.

Very sad that when I EQ an instrument (at least one with bass frequencies) so that it sounds great on its own, it sounds muddy in the mix. If I EQ it so that it sounds great in the mix, it sounds tinny on its own. Can't all the awesome sounds just get put together to sound more awesome instead?

Judging by the crickets I got when posting my initial question on the relevant forums, and the reaction I got from the customer service rep, I may be the first person to successfully get a Virharmonic product (Instant Cello) working on Linux/Wine. 💪

Discovered www.orchestraltools.com/majestic-horn tonight and it's been great. I had been using the E/W Hollywood Brass Solo French Horn and couldn't get the sound I wanted (legato but with some power and clarity) out of it. For less than $3 the Majestic Horn does this pretty well.

Having access to VSTs that utilize both CC1 and CC11 is really making me second guess my earlier decision to get a small midi controller that can’t control

Through extensive testing I now think that 1ft is the proper distance for micing my classical guitar*
*as I am using an SM57
2ft away: too quiet, needs too much amplification which adds noise
6in away: too harsh

I learned how to set the midi channel on a MIDI item in #reaper today, please clap. My method of selecting all notes in it and right clicking to change the channel didn't cover CC messages, so finding this option is huge
