Hi there
I guess you have had this discussion before but I couldnt seem to find it in
the archives. I need to find some good working compression and eq plug
ins(maybe reverb and delay too). Wich plugins do you use or find the best?
I used to use cubase and have recently changed to ardour..
There is a lot plug ins to listen to and try if you want to find out
yourself so a litlle help would be nice...
Thanks Thomas

Hi Thomas,
here's what i like/use the most:
Dynamics:
i really love the SC series (SWH), i also use Calf compressor and Invada
compressor.
Eq:
I think that Steve Harris' Triple band parametric with shelves has
everything you need. I also use Calf equalizers (but you need to compile).
Reverbs:
I found Tim Goetze's C*Plate 2x2 very good. I also use Calf reverb, gverb
and mverb
Delays:
I started using Steve Harris' L/C/R Dealy which is good but recently i often
switch to Calf vintage delay or Invada delay munge.
I hope this could help.
Cheers

SC4 -- Steve Harris' compressor.
4-band parametric Fons Adriaensen' equaliser -- afaik, it is one and only
plugin with on/off automation possibility

Hmm.
Would is be worthwhile for us to set up a plugin sample library?
Someplace where we could host a sound file without and with various plugins
applied to make it possible for people to see what each plugin can do by a
quick listen.
all the best,

Might be a good idea, or maybe the existing plugin lists can be improved:
There are several plugin lists on the 'Net, but the ones I have in mind are
somewhat confusing because the focus on what they do do usually have the last
priority and the the focus of plugin type have the first priority, like if
it's LADSPA, LV2 or ie. VST. This is IMHO wrong. I believe that a person who
needs a plugin are looking for something that can solve her or hes problem.
If we take http://ardour.org/plugins an an example: Here is CALF listed under
both LADSPA and LV2. Wouldn't it be better so do it more like things are
listed under the heading "What plugins are recommended?" on the same page but
slightly expanded:
Dynamics (or packages with dynamic plugins):
CAPS(LADSPA/LV2) http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html
SWH (LADSPA/LV2) http://plugin.org.uk/lv2/
Filter/EQ (or packages with filter/eq plugins)
FIL (LADSPA) http://kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio/index.html
And it might be even better if the list starts with something like:
"New in the Linux Audio World and buzzwords like LADSPA, LV2, VST and ZYZ?
