    It was you! Thank you so much! I sent you an email lol

    Re: the recording process, yeah you pretty much nailed it! I write the songs on guitar, sort of imagining a drum beat, then I make that beat in Hydrogen, record that into Ardour, then two rhythm guitar tracks for width, bass, lead, and vocals last.

    I’d love to play these live! Unfortunately, I don’t have a band. But if anyone wants to start a band with me, I’m totally down!

    Hey thanks! I’m glad you’re enjoying it! If you wanna buy a copy, there’s a Bandcamp link just under the profile picture (on the main profile page, rather than the album page).

    Yes, I am playing all the instruments! Except for drums, I used Hydrogen for that. I have a PreSonus interface, and I used Ardour for my DAW, with mostly LSP, Calf, and Ardour community plugins. The only two non-FOSS plugins I used were Graillon for some light auto tune and Acon Digital Multiply, which is basically just a chorus, both on the vocal tracks because I am not a good singer lol, but they’re both “free” as in “free beer”.

    Thanks for listening!

    Heck yeah, thanks for listening! Also, let it be known that I do not necessarily subscribe to all of lemmy.world’s views 😜 I just want people to hear it, I’ve spent like a year making this thing, and it’d be a shame if it went unnoticed.

    Thanks, I’m glad you like them! I had to look up who that was, pretty cool guy apparently, so I’ll take it! I don’t really do comics as such, more like I draw stuff (badly), because I can’t afford to hire a real artist and I refuse to use AI. Maybe making album art and stuff will force me to learn how to art!
