I love that sound. And I hope you chose from a range of 4 set delay times too :-) It always amazed me how they were precisely the right timings nearly every time. > Using a short delay and about 2 taps, we managed to get the sound we > were after.

I haven't found the good documentation for LADSPA yet, I've been hosting them with ecasound and it would be useful to know how to specify parameters as well as names & numbers, which I have sussed. Any leads welcomed. I find some of the names of the plugins a bit obscure, not being a techie or sound engineer as such, I mean "Barry's Satan Maximizer" sounds great, but what does it DO? cheers tim hall
