I converted fx_processor's distortion into a ladspa-plugin. The sound is similar. Actually I'm looking for a distortion with some more bass. And a bit more aggressive to play heavy metal. I tried some equalizer setups and am very close to what I am searching for. A nice combination is preamp with a "static" alienwah, like this: ecasound -d:16 -i:/dev/dsp -o:/dev/dsp -erc:2,1 -ea:300 \ -el:preamp,10 -el:alienwah_stereo,0,5,0.3,20 With "static" I mean the frequency set to zero (first parameter to alienwah). A -el:unmatched at the end of the line sucks away all the bass again. This is why I dropped it, though I get a scratching sound without it. I tried equalizers. Ecasound's eq_template had no effect or muted the sound which is strange. I couldn't boost the bass enough for my taste with ladspa-plugin mbeq. > You can get some good results by combining these with other plugins, but > that has not been documented. I guess it should be. Yes. Perhaps I can get what I want with this. With most of those ladspa plugins my problem is that I don't really have an idea of which parameters I should start off with. Examples would probably be very helpful, but as I experience myself it is not the nicest job to write docs. :) > If you search the mialing list you will find the experiments Tim and I did > with ecasound chains of plugins. I tried hard but failed. On http://www.linuxdj.com/audio/lad/archive.php3 phrases like "pn:", "el:", etc. don't give me any matches. > - Steve ra
