It's a little tutorial on how to do sidechain compression in Qtractor. I did the screencast with recordMyDesktop that I packaged myself for Ubuntu 9.10 because of several bugs. So Rui, if you want to try yourself, make sure you have the latest svn checkout of recordMyDesktop. in 10.04 both gtk-recordMyDesktop and recordMyDesktop are broken again and useless for working with JACK :(
I'm now experimenting with ffmpeg, but found out ffmpeg has no JACK support anymore. So I'm trying to work with the ALSA-JACK plugin, hopefully it doesn't generate too much xruns. But hopefully I can get it too work because the quality of the output of recordMyDesktop is too low if you want to edit it afterwards and upload it to YouTube. This way it gets decompressed and uncompressed 3 times, resulting in major quality loss.
And I had to do the editing (I use OpenShot for this) on Fedora 13 because melt is broken or not fully functional in every single Ubuntu install I have atm. Video editing still has a long way to go on Linux, contrary to music production ;)
Next tutorial will be about using a vocoder in Qtractor.
Hello guys,
Just uploaded a new Qtractor tutorial to YouTube: Sidechain Compression in Qtractor
