Sources of Light @ r3
I recorded an album called Sources of Light, released in October 2024. I started recording it and finished . Here are some probably fairly boring details about the recording process, gear and music.
Gear
For all recordings, I used Ardour 6 on Ubuntu Studio. Almost all of the production effects were from Calf Studio Gear plugins.
All guitar effects, pre-amps and modeling was from a Line 6 Go stomp box. I recorded directly into a Scarlett USB audio interface.
All rhythym guitars were doubled, one panned hard left and the other hard right. Lead vocals were also doubled in the same way.
Drums were programmed using Hydrogen 1.x with the flac gcs instrument pack. I did very little to the drums except increasing the gain of the kick, snare and hi-hat. Otherwise I did absolutely nothing to them production-wise. Largely out of pure laziness.
In all cases I recorded all instruments, one at a time, from start to finish. Then the vocals, then I would do a rough mix, then program the drums, then finish mixing and any other post-production effects (that was pretty rare, though).
