    Give us a link (even to short samples), always good to be exposed to new stuff.

    Unless the new stuff is mercury, lead, some form of radiation, poison, toxin, or other substance that might cause you irritation, pain, suffering, and/or death. I mean, how bad can his singing be?

    I dare not dox myself when there are so many out to get me. Likewise content is scriptural (hence the demographic mismatch with most here).

    I mean I trust you and all, just not everyone else who can read this. Nice try though.

      I wonder if some DAWs are better at working with the instruments, sound effects (maybe no need for pitch bending or distortion), and vocal processing (maybe choral) profile of that kind of (Christian? vocal/instrumental?) music.

      Some of the live-performance-targeted DAWs might be a better option if they're not heavily electronic/effects based. If scriptural, I'd suspect that talking to people who produce that kind of music would narrow down things for you more.

        All the recording and effects were done using Ardour - mostly staying true to raw sounds of instruments/vocals. To fill things out a bit, I used a number of synthesized instrumental sounds from a Roland XV-5050. Drum tracks were developed/recorded using Hydrogen. I have several high-end audio interfaces.

        I'm happy with the resulting sound. I am simply hesitant to return to fighting with the distro to make it all work.

          I'm told hydrogen plays well with rosegarden, which plays well with recording audio and midi.

          Ardour was really where it was at on Linux when I last did any serious music production. It's a heavyweight app for older hardware and I was only ever using "tape tracks" and the mixer function, x-run free until around the time they broke tape mode (2014?). I was already playing with non suite [tuxfamily.org] but never battle tested it on a real session. I think Ardour 6 is running on the Raspberry Pi 4, they now have internal routing for parallel processing so that may have improved performance.

    So, this has nothing to do with me, but you were wanting a link, and this [youtube.com] is the best thing I've heard all year - especially the segment between 1:23 and 5:12.
