Fortunately for us, there's
<ulink url="http://ladspa.org">LADSPA!!</ulink> Ladspa stands for
<emphasis>L</emphasis>inux <emphasis>A</emphasis>udio
<emphasis>D</emphasis>evelopers <emphasis>S</emphasis>imple
<emphasis>P</emphasis>lugin <emphasis>A</emphasis> PI, and there is a
great suite of Free plugins maintained by Steve Harris at
<ulink url="http://plugin.org.uk">plugin.org.uk</ulink>.

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.
