I think of this as avalid point.. at this second I need to waste my p4 3.0 on a XP because I have no clue how to tweak manu of these effects... even the compressors are a bit laborious to run... I love linux and run 4 lx servers at my office from apache to liants rm-cobol smb and print servers.. I sometimes do not want to feel like I'm at work ;) hehe but even having downloadable preset config patches available to put in the right place would be a great start... Hmmm, does anyone have some for the standard ladspa reverbs and compression? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > davidrclark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: >> ... >> Several posters have suggested that a few good reverbs would be very >> helpful.
