I had to laugh at this. Every once in a while, I
will search to see if
there are any new LADSPA or LV2 plugins. I often see plugins described
by their mathematical function, with NO hint of what it actually does.
If linux audio would like to get its foot in the door with guitarists,
defining available plugins only by math function is not the way to go
about it. It almost seems like some plugins exists only because they
were someone's class assignment (write a plugin using FFT).
Usually I
wouldn't answer on this topic, even if I have some concerns,
but I will repeat on this.
Because my last announcements here on this list was exactly about LV2
plug-ins for guitarist which indeed use at least FFT.
This release introduce the first LV2 plugs
created from the guitarix
amps. Well, they will perfectly fit into hotel sierra
* GxAmplifier tube 12ax7 tonestack sovtek cabinet 4x12
* GxAmplifier-II tube 12AT7 tonestack soldano cabinet AC30
* GxAmplifier-III tube 6C16 tonestack bassman cabinet 1x15
* GxAmplifier-IV tube 6V6 tonestack soldano cabinet mesa
* GxAmplifier-V tube 6DJ8 tonestack ampeg cabinet HighGain
there are mono and stereo versions of those amps included in the bundle
The time were I have to wrote class assignments is a couple of years ago.
I fail to see any description by math function.
But as well, I fail to see any user feedback at all on this.
For the record, I hadn't even thought about your plugins, because you
give a GOOD description of what it is, what it does, and a GREAT idea of
what it will sound like.
The ones I was talking about give ONLY a description like "FFT plugin"
or some such vague term. A typical audio user, or musician, is not
going to have ANY idea what that plugin is, what is would be used for,
or what its purpose is.
I consider your descriptions to be some of the best!
