Thanks guys, much appreciated

. The mixes improve with every new track and there is so much to learn. I'm making music more regularly since the last six months only. Before I played with Renoise which I really like, but I wanted to use a more classic DAW like Ardour or Reaper. Also to learn more about the techniques like compression and stuff. I also tried Bitwig, which is nice too, but it has a lot of possibilities which made me feeling lost somehow. I have some gear like a Microkorg and an Alesis SR16, but I rarely use it.

I use Debian and added the KX repos and make all tracks in the box with Linux plugins only. The vocal sounds come all from public domain samples (e.g. https://freesound.org/people/JaimeB1946/sounds/398223/ from the track https://soundcloud.com/lilith_93/le-clair-de-la-lune-1). I think I have to improve the mix for that one, there's also some clipping I want to remove.

As synths I use mainly Zynfusion, Tal Noizemaker, free U-HE Stuff, OXE FM (mainly used here: https://soundcloud.com/lilith_93/c18h25no , which I made for https://fmchallenge.osamc.de ), etc.

Currently I'm working on that one: https://soundcloud.com/lilith_93/som...-10-30/s-MfriP It's 100% done with Ardour.

It's almost finished, but if you have comments I'll try to follow them in order to improve it

.

@s wave: What label is this? I'm curious. I think I listened to that KITARO album, but I'll check it again. To what Euro sounds are you refering?

Ups... forgot: The guitars are recorded by me. At least these are not sampled.

Totally forgot about the hardware which I will add tomorrow.
