Hello #fediverse who among you is using #ubuntustudio ? Or another music recording friendly #distro .

Looking for advise, tips for #MultiTrack band rehearsal recording and #preproduction

How is the driver support? Will i be able to install a #Tascam US18x8 #AudioInterface ?

Is 32bit float a hype or the way to go?

Thinking of using #Bandlab so everyone can access the tracks from home. That worked with previous phone recording during Covid.

Time for a quick #ProductionDiary Update! I'm basically back in #PreProduction, or more accurately in a hybrid preproduction/writing phase. Set up another jam last night and it was really flowing, sounded great. Going to do another performance of it tonight, then start another new one ... Finally feels like progress instead of treading water.

But despite that, I knew I would be able to make enough material to do an album around this concept, and I started combing through notebooks for title ideas and running them through the Night Cafe's Stable Diffusion model and started planning the schedule for the album. I started #PreProduction officially like three or four days later I want to say.

And more to the point, worked well with the song's concept/title. By the end of the time I worked on this in #recording (day 6 or 7 overall) I had settled on its title and the accompanying #AI #image I used as #inspiration and #guidance for making the song. (If this is mystifying, check out my #PreProduction posts about the use of AI pics in the #songwriting process.)

The title is "The Waking World Pushes Its Way Into Dreams" and this is the image:

I did have two more quasi #InstrumentDays. One day with a couple of #Morphagene patches that absolutely pushed two tracks over the finish line almost single handedly, and a #SamplingDay where I finally went through one side of the #SamplingTape I made in #PreProduction and added #samples to multiple tracks. Those samples were the finishing touch for at least one of those tracks and it was nice to know the effort had been worth it.

Back to my #PsychedelicGhostStories #ProductionDiary! After extensive coverage of #PreProduction, it's time to delve into the actual #writing and #recording of the #album. If you need to catch up on the previous posts before we get started, use the hashtags "PsychedelicGhostStories" and "ProductionDiary" together -- those are all part of this series. And hey, here's the album in question. #Listen along!

Okay, back from lunch ready to get going on this #ProductionDiary for #PsychedelicGhostStories . However, contrary to what I said before lunch, I want to stay in #PreProduction for now -- specifically, it's time to get into the #writing process, and the approach I used. Not going to lie, I am a touch concerned this is going to be #controversial because my writing and #inspiration process made *heavy* use of the dreaded... #AIArt *GASP*

Continued thread

During all this, I was also working on charting out the #thematic and #musical elements, but I am going to go into that in a different post. It's definitely part of the #PreProduction but it's tied much more closely to the #writing and #composition than the #production, so I'd like to keep it separate for people who are only interested in one or the other. And also because they are separate in my mind.
