This almost always lead to problems and unwanted clicks (xruns, in JACK lingo) that make audacity not the best choice in a setup that relies heavily on JACK. JACK is supported, but through portaudio, a middleware library that makes things a little confusing on JACK side: for example it creates a JACK client on the fly when the user presses “play” on the interface of audacity, and then destroy it when the user presses “stop”. The problem with audacity is that it plays not so well with JACK, the low latency sound server that is almost a must if you want to make music professionally on Linux. There are lots of documentation and tutorials around for using it, coming from the huge user base that audacity has, thanks in part to the cross-platform nature of the program. One of the most known and succesful editors in the scene is audacity, an almost complete solution that is cross platform, easy to use, actively mantained and not too buggy. For one, you have to create a new project before you can even think of opening an audio file. It can for sure be used as a simple editor but for the task is overkill.

Some editors however can be used in real life with good results.įirst of all, I leave ardour out because it is much more than a simple audio editor, it’s a full fledged DAW. I take the chance to resume the current situation in GNU/Linux about digital audio editors, which is not a bed of roses compared to other systems/proprietary applications, there are some corners that can be smoothed. Some don’t even fall in the category, in my opinion: for example I would define hydrogen as a drum machine, and rosegarden a notation editor or a MIDI sequencer, like qtractor.

Today I came across this list of “25 free digital audio editors” (and that definition has been stretched a lot here) where I’ve been pleased to find many of our beloved linux applications. I hope you enjoy it, and if you are spanish-speaking, please forgive my pronunciation. I feel that now I have reached a very fast workflow with ardour and Linux.

The whole process take little more than one hour and a half, and the software behaved beautiffully without a single xrun. I replaced some bad notes here and there, exported the file and opened it with mhwaveedit to cut the start and tail, and to boost a little the volume with a gently (I hope) touch of Barry Satan Maximizer. I sent mainly voice and solo guitar to the reverb, and also a bit of the two guitars, which are otherwise panned hard L and R. It’s not the best I have but is always plugged and very handy.Īs for plugins, I used my preferred trio: Invada mono compressor on voice and bass, triple band parametric to cut some frequencies on the voice, and Gverb on a bus on its own as a global reverb. Then for the “brushes” I used a somewhat muted darbouka with a clothes brush, miked with a nice sennheiser md-421: the same one I used for the voice. The bass is a 90’s squier II precision bass through the same signal chain. Then I recorded the guitar (an Alhambra 5P with built in amplification) directly into an humble StudioProjects Vtb-1 and then into my trusty RME hammerfall.
This trick helps to retain at least part of it. I did this because it is very difficult to multritrack all instruments on my own only with the click without sacrificing most of the groove. This is also the order in which I recorded them: I started with a bar of percussion (made banging on the guitar body) that I duplicated for the length of the song.

The recording took about an hour, and it’s made of seven tracks plus a bus for reverb: I recorded it in ardour 2.8.14, since I switched from ubuntu to debian stable (FTW!) some months ago. It has an awesome melody and a nice chord progression, which took me some hours to grasp completely. Today I recorded this one, it’s an old latin ballad which I heard from the italian singer/icon Mina I tried with those softwares and the resulting setup is already quite complex… and this whitout external audio sources like real instruments (which I want to integrate at some point). Yoshimi to produce synth sounds (multitimbrical, say two or three channels), mididings to route all MIDI data to the appropriate program basing on MIDI channel.
wmctrl (for controlling GNOME via MIDI when combined with mididings)īasically sooperlooper and renoise should be connected and sync’d thru JACK transport, renoise providing its wonderful sampler and its powerful effect chains.qjackctl (for JACK connecions and patchbay persistence).mididings (neat MIDI router and processor).renoise (the best traker ever made, althoug not free).🙂 I haven’t sorted out yet the full setup for software but here’s a list of the software that I intend to use:
