Or maybe better yet, a contest, when you pay for entry into the contest, and all the contributions go into creative commons, The top ten make it into the album, but everything in the album has to be made with open source software, such that the resulting files can be created raw simple audio tracks without effects or with midi data using sound fonts, patches or other such things. Or have some musicians put a CD together of some music created with Ardour and Jack, and put the result into creative commons, if people raise enough money, with the money going toward the developement of Ardour. Another example would be say having a number of people submit songs, and showing how they made the song with Ardour and other packages. Then submit that. And sell the DVD that includes the files used to make the songs, and the tutorials. <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Sep 6, 2009 at 10:28 PM, Kiernan Holland <<a href="mailto:rofthorax@gmail.com">rofthorax@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Maybe they should do what the blender project does to make money. Make a album say, and release the music and the samples used to make the song, and jack setup, and such open source or creative commons. So that people can experiment with the files and learn from them. </blockquote></div> -- --------------{ GOOGLE THIS }--------------- [about me]: chann3lz bl3nder rofthorax-youtube [free stuff]: ubuntu portableapps winehq virtualbox ubuntu-studio blender3d gimp mythtv [interests]: cloudcomputing electronics programming simplification 3d-animation music pc-games art
