Re: [ANN] Bedroom Studio early preview

Ooh, fun! How did you decide upon the math to use for your effects? For example, I noticed that your distortion function uses tanh() twice, and your warmth function uses sin(). Can you recommend any resources to learn more about specific functions used in DSP?

Re: Ardour 8 released

There's a lot on their (his?) plate Two people do the bulk of Ardour development; the above dawhead is the primary developer. Considering the magnitude of the project (hundreds of thousands of lines of C/C++), they have to be extremely judicious about which features they prioritize. So yes, patches...

Re: Plugin development philosophy

LV2 ttl has doap:name field which exactly contains a name of plugin Wow, look at that, it actually worked. I was looking at Dragonfly Hall Reverb, I didn't see it the manifest.ttl and the DragonflyHallReverb_ui.ttl, but in the DragonflyHallReverb_dsp.ttl file there is the doap:name field, and modif...

So not simply editing a .ttl file somewhere?

The LV2 ttl does not specify the plugin name and VST3 doesn't have a ttl file. I'm not certain about other plugin formats.

Which reminds me of a question I haven't yet asked: is there a way for a user to rename plugins?

Sure, if you have the source code. Just modify it and recompile. Free as in freedom fries.

Re: Plugin development philosophy

So I could name it Revenant Lich Vampire Convention and then it would show up right along in alphabetic order with the other plugins that start with "Reverb ..." In fact, it would alphabetically arrive in front of all the other reverbs and as such people would be more likely to click on it...

Re: Plugin development philosophy

I'd still like to be able to find a plugin in an alphabetically ordered list, so delay plugins i.m.o. should be named "delay - <developer> - <cutesy name>" or something like this. What DAW are you using? In Ardour, if I go to add a plugin and search for "reverb", I get anything ...

Re: Plugin development philosophy

Ha! GMaq , your first response in this thread made me feel like you were saying "No vacancy! We already have too many plugins!" But now you're totally on board with a new suite of effects that have silly names. This is still really hypothetical. I only barely know enough about DSP to get m...

I wonder who.

What if the plugin name reported to the DAW consists of both the cutesy name and the functional purpose? For example, like this:

Breathe (High Freq Noise Enhancer)
Patina (Lofi / Vinyl Effect)
Regalia (Stereo Width / HAAS)
Seltzer (Harmonics Exciter)
Tallow (Bass Enhancer)

I think we're teetering on the brink of having somebody really upset about cutesy names.

Re: Plugin development philosophy

I have to admit that at least 50% of my motivation for starting this thread is that I want to make an effect plugin called "Tallow". It would have two control sections: Saturated . . . Fat. I imagine the saturation stage mostly just being TAP tube warmth, and then the fatten stage would mo...
