The most important element is speaker emulation. Without it distorted guitars have that 'wasp in jam jar' sound. Fortunately there is a great LADSPA plug-in for this in Tim Goetze's excellent caps plug-in suite. Put this (it calls itself cabinet emulation) in a LADSPA effects chain after the pre-amp/distortion effect of choice & before your reverb/delay of choice & choose which speaker sound to use according to taste & which axe is plugged in. I have been thrilled with the results. I am away from my Linux Music box at the mo, if you are interested I will put up exactly what chain I use when I can get to check it out. Hope this helps Guy ( hopefully putting the axe into Linaxe ;0) ) Juan Marcelo Rodr?guez wrote: >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >Hash: SHA1 > >Hello guys, > Im a keyboardist, and Im working everyday composing and recording >my songs using ardour as the center of my records. > >I have a Korg synth, and I haven't problems with the songs, I have >enough patchs as I need to use: piano, strings, synths, etc's, >because those sounds are great for me.
