Most of them are completely unusable. IMO Fons' parametric EQ is ok. If I record an ALESIS D4 cymbal with Linux, the result is week. If I record it with a consumer DAT recorder, there's no audible difference to the original sound. Even a 4-track cassette player with Dolby C still sounds better, than the Linux recording (tested with TerraTec and RME cards). Assumed it should be missing dithering, then what dithering to use? Linux dithering is a PITA, it adds annoying audible noise, no stand alone consumer gear, no proprietary DAW and especially no professional gear comes with such audible dithering noise. Is there usable dithering available for Linux? _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
