http://plugin.org.uk/releases/0.4.0/
This one is a very experimental release, hence the .0, its even more
likly to cause pain and death than other releases :)
I've attached a list of the plugins against what state I think there in,
for the people who want to help by testing, it should save you some
time by weeding out the very simple and definatly broken ones. Please test
against this version, not previous ones.
It includes rough support for gettext, so, in theory the plugins can be
localised without support from hosts. If people want to provide
translations, look in the po directory, I think theres everything you
need, but I've never used gettext before, so I may have messed up.
I've done some significant work on the compressors, most notably SC4,
(stereo, no sidechain) which has a continuously variable RMS/peak control
and a magick 'fast' mode: when the attack time is set to very low it
behaves more like a limiter. This feature seems to be present on a lot of
hardware compressors.
SC4 now has ID 1882, so you should move away or delete the old sc4_1434.so
file. It wasn't strictly neccesary to rename the file, but it would be
confusing (to me) if I didn't.
The others all have slightly faster responses and less damping after I
found out that you were /supposed/ to get pumping with fast envelopes :)
I ran through them with demolition
(http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~njl98r/code/ladspa/) and fixed a lot of crash
bugs, so things should be more stable once the major code changes settle
down.
There is still no support for the beta FFTW (version 3), or OSX. I wanted
to get this release out this week, they should be supported in the next
version.
Summary:
please test, especially the compressors
translations welcome

Steve,
I forgot to mention on my last post - I was using SWH 0.40.0 so tape
delay is a definite yes. So is SC4, at least I can't find anything
wrong with it.

Cool. For things like the tape delay and SC's I'm interested in those
subtle sound quality issues as well as wether they noisily explode in your
face, which is also likly :)
There is especially a problem with many of them sounding too digital, at
one time I liked that, but I've gone off the sound. It grates.

The tape delay is exactly what I've been looking for. It doesn't sound
digital to me. I actually had two vocals recorded for one session, one
through a tube mic preamp and the other direct in. I was using the pre
to get a warmer sound on the vocal but I switched back to the direct
track when I put the tape delay on it.

Yup, the tape delay is one of the ones I made sound 'warmer', by adding
some tube + tapey effects, so its cool to know you could remove the pre :)

Steve,
I wish I had known that you were going to do that (and how good it
would sound) a few weeks ago. I wouldn't have bought the dual tube mic
preamp. It's still good live though so it's not a total loss ;)

It doesn't sound as good as a real tube, but its useful for those of use
who dont own mini heaters ;)
