I need to be able to pipe stereo audio through a notch
filter so that
I can adjust it while listening and analyzing the effects it is
having. Unfortunately I cannot find a way to do this. Here's why:
- The only LADSPA notch filter I can find is "Mag's notch filter"
(notch_iir_1894.so)
I don't know how 'sharp' you need the notch to be, but maybe you can
try the TAP EQ/BW with a small bandwidth setting. Just a random idea.
-Jack Rack works great with this plugin, except when I
change the
number of stages in the interface, the change is only applied to one
channel. (the other controls are applied to both channels)
-AlsaModularSynth immediately segfaults when trying to load this
particular plugin
-Ardour will not work with this either. The controls don't do what
they are supposed and al I can accomplish with it is some sort of
wacky low pass filter. (how this is accomplished with a notch filter
plugin is beyond me...)
So... What else is there? these are the only programs I know of that I
can pipe audio through very easily. (please don't suggest Pd, I've
never gotten it to compile correctly) Anybody else have similar
problems with this plugin?
I tried the plugin in Aqualung, which is a music player program
supporting LADSPA plugins (http://aqualung.sf.net). It seemed to be
working alright. If you decide to try it, get the latest source from
http://aqualung.sf.net/aqualung-cvs.tar.gz and issue an 'sh autogen.sh'
before the usual ./configure, make, make install stuff. If you are able
to compile Ardour, the needed libs are almost certainly present on your
machine.
As this is just a music player, you can't pipe audio through it (since
there is no input), but you can export the audio to a track and play
that. I'm not suggesting that this is an acceptable end solution, but
maybe worth trying out to determine whether there is a problem with
the notch plugin or the other hosts instead.
