[linux-audio-user] LADSPA plugins - warm sound quality

Its partly a matter of taste - I like the hard digital filter sound, I think it makes a pleasant change from analogue filters warmth. In addition I'm a modular synthesist at heart, so if it annoyed me I would just bung a lowpass->valve sim->lowpass on the end (this is what most VST plugins will do). I think I tend to use, and think of LADSPA plugins at a lower level than most people. This became obvious at linuxtag. But, mostly, making plugins sound warm requires more work, and no-one has requested it (up til now). --------- Steve, since you wrote this I have been doing a lot more work with the ladpsa plugins and I tend to agree that the default sounds of a lot of them are very hard. Can you elaborate more on how and why you use "lowpass->valve sim->lowpass on the end" to create a more warm sound? Thanks. BTW. I think it would be a very good addition for the LAU FAQ so I'll add this as it comes to light. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.

No! We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything I've ever done. Goldie, 8 Nov, 2002 The Scotsman
