[LAU] ecasound/nama signal path queries

[Julien Claassen]

Hi James!
   As much as I'm all for Ecasound/Nama, I must agree with Paul. If you're 
looking for those dub-delay effects you'd be best served with a VST-plugin, if 
you can load it (for example in Ardour, if I'm not mistaken) or create such an 
effect in PureData or Csound or CLM or...
   as for parallel processing it's possible in Nama, the way I do it, might 
still not be the best one, but I'd use a bus and track-linking (which is 
taking input from the same file:
add my_track
[get some sound into it and set it to mon, playback]
asub My_sub_bus
my_track
mtb My_sub_bus
link my_fx_copy my_track
mtb My_sub_bus
   Now you can add a lowpass filter - or non at all - toe my_track and then 
have your distortion and then on my_fx_copy you could add the highpass filter 
and the delay.
   Still, as much as it might pain me, for your dub-productions best stick with 
Ardour - or maybe something like Renoise. I'm not sure about its total 
capabilities, but it's very well suited to electric music with heaps of 
strange effects. :-) the only artist from this list known to me, using 
Renoise, is Atte Andre Jensen. There is another free software, which goes in 
for something like it, but I can't remember it's name. The artist using it is 
Vytautas Jancauskas and if I remember correctly, he's also the author of that 
software.
   Warm regards
           Julien
