Music Production on Guix System

I've used non, I like it and I like the idea, I wasn't really a fan of the ui though. I used non-sequencer for a bit but ended up switching to muse and rosegarden before Ardour got midi. I find it almost a bit too modular. I do like the idea of having ardour as an end point for various things.

I tend to sequence and record audio into ardour then do some processing and mixing there.

Then I'll mixdown in ardour then patch that track through jamin into a new ardour track for mastering.

I find that setup still gives me flexibility while having a sort of centralized 'master console' or something.

jamin ... i hate to be a nag, but please please please stop using this software. Conceptually it's a cool application, but the DSP artifacts it generates are just awful.

There are plugins you can use within Ardour that will do a much better job than jamin.

Could you point me to some? I started using jamin when it was pretty much the only mastering available, if there's something better now I'd like to check them out.

The Harrison XT plugins would be the obvious thing to point to, though they are not FLOSS.

LSP multiband compressor. x42 limiter. Zam multiband compressor.

Thank you. As awesome as the Harrison stuff all is, I make music for fun, so it's a bit out of my price range. I've been really liking the LSP plugins though, i'll have to check those out.
