Okay, I'll bite. Luis Milan 1536

This is a sample of the early music I've been experimenting with. It's a pavane (a slow dance) written by Luis Milan in 1536, probably for lute.

I'm glad we have real diversity on this site. This is done very, very well. Proper roots music! We had a songcrafter called Jackofall who used to go down this kind of route now and again (where are you Jackofall?!). Beautifully played and recorded, and, dare I say it, a bit too short!

[corryhully]

great stuff. very authentic sounding. milan composed for Vihuela, a kind of ickle guitar. i know this piece for guitar and have to say i prefer your version. keep up good work.

Huh! Thanks for the kind words.  Yeah, this piece is recorders.  This was the first time I really used the pan and volume knobs on the various tracks to try to separate the different parts. All of them are recorded through a stereo mic plugged into the "EXT" port and clipped to my music stand. Working with multitrack is a great way to improve my ensemble playing skillzz I'm thinking.

I'm still pretty much learning about the multitrack gizmo (it is an MBR). I can do bounce and mastering, but I haven't figured out punch in//punch out yet. Plus I'm not sure if that's really the route I want to take. That means that all of these are done in one continuous tacke, which limits their length due to my significant shortcomings as a musician. That, of course, is what I'm trying to improve. 

Glad for the responses though. I listen to a lot of pop music when I'm practicing my juggling -- I reckon I will have to try to figure out how to tie that habit in with some of the stuff y'all are posting.
