The OrganLoft

Compposed this on the Free Operating System, Ubuntu Studio 11.10.

I used Jack, Pulse Audio, Qsynth, Ardour, Hydrogen, and Audacity.

Qsynth Pianos and drum kits fill the background while Hydrogen keeps the Bossa-Nova rhythm.

The name of the old song is Consuelo Velásquez's Besume Mucho played in a heavy hand piano Bossa Nova style. All parts are played by my hands with the Hydrogen drum machine keeping the downbeat. The extra percussion instruments (Cuica and the Birds) are triggered from Qsynth. I am playing the percussion manually on my Yamaha KX8 on a separate Ardour track.
The horns are another Qsynth sound font with a plate reverb Plug in to enhance the top.

Ardour mixes it down and it is finally mastered in Audacity. Audacity then exports it MP3 format.

Ubuntu Studio is an all in one music production studio. Version 11.10 Quad Core Athlon with 8 Gb Ram and a 1TB 7200 Rpm drive. I use a Revolution 7.1 sound card and a Zotec NVIDIA video interface.

My Studio is a Mackie 1202-VLZ. a Behringer B1 studio mic, A Yamaha KX8 Midi piano keyboard, dual 24 inch monitors.

This was just impromptu. I had no script and no practice. Here I am just doodling on the piano.

I explain how to install the 64bit Abode Flash Plugin on FF 8 and US 64bit 11.10.

I left out an important detail. Go back into FF and About:config and set the Expose Plugin back to false.
