Re: [LAU] choir effect

Hi Renato! Why not use ecasound.It should be a standard package in a reasonable version on every distribution and it can handle LADSPA effects. Also you can decide, if you want to also use the interactive shell-like interface or control parameters via MIDI. Ecasound can also handle some nice routng. Not as powerful perhaps as Ardour, but more flexible with the features, that it has. also you won't need to copy the file. You could have something like: ecasound -a:1 -i playat,start[1],infile.wav -ea:gain[1] -a:2 -i \ playat,start[2],infile.wav -ea:gain[2] ... \ -a:all -o outfile.wav -ea is in percent 0 = silence, 100 = normal level. You can decide between mixmode avg (devide volme by number of existing inputs or sum, just leave everything to the user. After each -ea (or before) you can insert something likeL: -eli:1767,6,3.2,2.3,0.5,0.12,0.33 Meaning use LADSPA effect with unique ID 1767 (CAPS chorus) and the mentioned parameters. Use analyseplugin or look at the parameter list of the plugin in some other graphical LADSPA host. Ecasound can also output to JACK or alsa or oss or arts. So you can actually use it for a performance (if your computer can stand the effort) :-).
