Finally - after YEARS of avoidance - I have started taking the time to properly arrange and master the music available on this site. This is a rather involved process; it involves hours of soundfont hunting, instrument tweaking, checking and re-checking levels, normalizing and compressing, and any number of smaller steps in-between depending on the particular song. Because this process is so involved, I've failed to set aside the proper time for it, instead choosing to make my music available in various states of "almost finished." But no longer...
Why am I talking about Ubuntu 10.04 when the 9.10 release (Karmic Koala) is still months away? I've picked 10.04 because there's still time for us, as an Ubuntu community, to have some say on what happens to it. The feature set for 9.10 has been mostly laid out, but 10.04 is still an open slate - and I think two significant things need to happen between 9.10 and 10.04 if Ubuntu wants to stay relevant on the desktop.
