8Welcome!

10TAP-plugins is a bunch of LADSPA plugins for audio processing. It runs
11on the GNU/Linux operating system, and possibly other UNIX-like
12operating systems.
13
14LADSPA stands for Linux Audio Developers Simple Plugin API.
15Learn more about LADSPA at http://www.ladspa.org

17You need a LADSPA-aware host program to use these plugins.
18I recommend using Ardour, which is a professional multichannel hard
19disc recorder and digital audio workstation for Linux. These plugins
20were developed and tested using Ardour, but they should work with any
21LADSPA-capable host. Learn more about Ardour at http://ardour.org

25Installation and usage of the plugins is very simple. Please take a
26moment to edit the top of the Makefile if you wish to install the
27plugins in a directory other than /usr/local/lib/ladspa (the default
28place for plugins). A destination directory for RDF metadata is also
29set there (defaults to /usr/local/share/ladspa/rdf) which you may also
30want to change. Then run "make" and (as root) "make install". No
31special packages are needed to compile these plugins, so there is no
32./configure script.
33
34A thorough manual is provided in html format. It is identical to the
35project website. There is no need to save that manually, though: it is
36provided as a separate package called tap-plugins-doc. After
37downloading and untarring it, just open index.html with your favorite
38Any Browser to view it.
