A while ago I was trying to record music on Ubuntu. A long time ago, Dave Wolf and I started LLTT. I left the country and ended up getting a job. The Internet makes it possible to collaborate.
Apple really did three nifty things with GarageBand. First, they made recording easier than with the 4-track cassette decks we used to have. Second, they added a bunch of loops to let you demo an idea quickly (as long as you stick to the beaten path of 4/4 — I’ve only done one bit in 7/8, and some other fragments not in 4/4). Finally, they made GarageBand files compatible with their music software, Logic, which I hear is what real musicians use.
I started recording some ideas. Dave suggested I upload them to MySpace, see http://www.myspace.com/llttinprogress. Perhaps he will have time to chuck all the Apple drum tracks, and perhaps rerecord a the bass I did with the keyboard before Nath bought me a cheap Squire P-bass copy.
Figments of a lack of imagination
