1TAP-plugins (Tom's Audio Processing plugins) 2-------------------------------------------- 3 4AUTHOR: Tom Szilagyi <tszilagyi@users.sourceforge.net> 5WEBPAGE: http://tap-plugins.sf.net 6 7 8Welcome! 9 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 16 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 22 23 24 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. 39 40Questions, comments, suggestions, bugreports and fixes are always 41welcome at: <tszilagyi@users.sourceforge.net> 42 43 44Have fun, turn up the volume and kick the shit out of your neighbours! 45
