Ménage à trois with robots part 7
I manged to record one track of vocals on track 21. Could'a sworn I'd recorded keys on that track not long back. Anyway, it came out well enough (I didn't rewrite the lyrics), but when I try and record another track the program (Ardour) flips out on me. The tracks keep playing, but the graphics lose detail and I can't stop it except by killing Ardour in log mode.
After closing Jack and restarting both it and Ardour I managed to record a harmony track and another lead vocal as well as an almost spoken word part of the choruses. every now and then I have to restart Jack and Ardour because of the issue mentioned above.
Trying to record guitar on track 25 I find myself faced with the same problem as before. I restart everything again, take a short break and start over. I manage to record up to the end (almost) of the 2nd chorus. Same thing happens on 26. I keep both those takes. On 27 I start just before the 2nd chorus and make it to the end of the bridge and into the third chorus, when I get an error message about track 16 (which is muted - one of the keyboard tracks mentioned in part six). I go to track 28 (I must be a masochist) and then I get the "pool out of memory - recompile with larger size" message. I don't know what that's about, but a quick Google shows that a few people have had the same thing. At the moment, I don't know if it's been solved by anybody, but I'll leave that for another time.
The guitar (an Ovation Celebrity) was recorded through an ART SGX 2000 on the "Slow Flange" preset (A-103).
I exported the session as a wav, which then crashed Ardour again and again (something about frames overflowed), but I found that the file itself was fine and I opened it in Audacity and saved it as an ogg vorbis file.
Click on the title of this post to hear it. This song is still in progress and a bit rough. Of course it may remain so, once done. I'm just saying it ain't done, yet. That's all.
