hello everybody!<br>
<br>
First of all, please excuse my hesitating english writing!<br>
<br>
happy new year to all ardour people and users around the world!<br>
<br>
We are the french free rock band <a href="http://www.godon.org">Godon</a>
and we'd like to share with you all our ardour experimentations. We
were for a one week long "residence" in november, in the concert room <a
href="http://www.deslendemainsquichantent.org">des Lendemains Qui
Chantent</a> in Tulle (France, 19). That is to say we had the freedom
to work on our set in professionnal conditions, with 8 K of sound power
and a Midas H1000 in the front, professionnal stage stuff, etc... We've
been working with Ardour since last summer, to delivrate samples,
clicks, sound illustrations during our shows. so on stage was a
computer running demudi and Ardour 0.99, french translation, and qjack.
A DI box was sending the samples tracks to the front console, another
one was sending the click to the drummer's ear monitors. I'd just like
to say that it was really easy to control and work on the materials
while working on stage. For example, we could modify gain automations
very precisely, for the general "rendu" in the room. Ardour was very
stable, no crash, no particular problem, only serious and professionnal
behaviour! So we are now on the course to integrate more and more
samples and sound materials in our show, with the same software of
course! We're in a reflexions stage right now, trying to build and get
running our "stage configuration". That will probably be according to <a
href="http://gorfou.fr/site/Station-audionumerique-multipiste.html">Gorfou</a>'s
advices and services. We will, on the very beginning of 2006, launch on
our website a found raising campaign, so people willing to help
building this stage config will have the possibility to do it in a nice
and clever way. If, by our work and music, we can show the world (!)
that Ardour and in general free software, are now professionnal quality
and stability, even in "live conditions", then we'll have the feeling
of the "devoir accompli"!!<br>
<br>
You can listen to the tracks recorded with ardour during the residence
(only stereo from the front console, that was to keep a trace of this
work!) on the web site: there's a flash player top right on the site,
and the tunes with the word "residence" in the title are the ones. For
the samples, please have a look at "Oil" and "Flight Club". if you want
to download this tracks, you can do it so <a

this page</a>. <br>
<br>
Thank you for this great software. hope to see some of you sometime!<br>
re happy new year to everybody!<br>
