Hallelujas CD

I recently completed a project for the Cantamus Corde Choir in Pretoria, South Africa. It is my first project "Glass mastered" and pressed (opposed to mass burning). The whole project was done in 64studio using GPL'ed software from recording to the final master. The only Microsoft product in my studio is a mouse (I say, let them stick to what they do best... hardware!) The recordings were done in three sessions of 3 hours, in a small Catholic chapel in Pretoria, and spliced together, mixed and mastered in ardour using all the tools available in 64studio 2.1(pre 7 to 11), including the Ladspa plug ins, Jamin, GnomeCDmaster, etc. I used four of my home made omnidirectional mics to do the recording, into a Behringer DDX3216 digi mixer, out via an ADAT port into a RME Hammerfall digi9632. I record 24bit, 44100, all channels raw, to give me the opportunity to work with the material "as it was" when I start to cut and mix. I use the DDX3216 as a control surface for ardour, making my work flow quite fluent at the moment, especially while doing the mastering in Jamin, and still controlling Ardour via the desk. Because this was a commercial project, I can only post a snippet of the recording here: As Vrede my Pad For more info about the recording or the choir, see my web page: www.harleystudio.co.za Cheers, Quentin
