This thread started out in a very useful and informative, on-topic manner but as usual it just descended into random (semi)OT ramblings. May I suggest to those who run linuxaudio.org that they set up a 'Best Linux plugin poll' where people can vote for the best plugin in all the various different popular categories (EQ, compression, reverb etc.) and maybe allow for people to post comments within each different category too? I think it'd be a very useful resource for the community, unless such a page already exists elsewhere? I know we have the recommended plugins page on ardour.org but its quite outdated now and not very comprehensive. I too would be very sad to Fons give up coding his very highly valued and much respected/appreciated plugins and tools. In fact it was only yesterday I was having to say the same to Mr Foltman who has unfortunately become quite disillusioned with LV2 and Linux audio in general and has chose to retire from it - hopefully only temporarily. As I told him, his plugins get frequent praise and recommendation on this list and we'd be very sad to see the back of him. Don't leave us Fons - LA is just about to get real interesting seeing as Ardour and qtractor in 2012 will be usable by and appealing to a much wider range of users and devs. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
