Fortunately for us, there's <ulink url="http://ladspa.org">LADSPA!!</ulink>

Ladspa stands for <emphasis>L</emphasis>inux <emphasis>A</emphasis>udio

Once you have the plugins installed, restart Ardour (don't forget to save!)
|
||
|
|
and open up the mixer window. See the black rectangle about 3/4 of the way
|
||
|
|
down the mixer strip? That's the sends list. Think of a mixer strip as a
|
||
|
|
signal path. Follow the signal as it flows from the top down through inputs,
|
||
|
|
varispeed settings, volume controls, plugins and sends, pan control and then
|
||
|
|
output. Right-click on the empty sends list and select <guimenuitem>New
|
||
|
|
Plugin</guimenuitem> from the popup menu.

You'll be presented with a list of available LADSPA plugins. experiment and
|
||
|
|
choose the one that's right for you. I really like the VyNil effect. It
|
||
|
|
creates an old worn out vynil record sound.
