categorize ladspa plugins in non-mixer

[rosea.grammostola]

Hi,

Unspecified ladspa plugins are listed by letter in the alphabet in
Jack-rack. In non-mixer it's one large list. It would be nice if it had
the jack-rack way of doing it. Launch jack-rack go to the ladspa plugins
and you know what I mean.

Yeah I agree, it's not very useable... In ardour I used exclusively the
search input...

Yeah the search functionality in ardour fasten things up greatly indeed.

In ardour it's also possible to define groups in the mixer and move
up/down a slider for several mixing strips.

Afaik non-mixer doesn't find plugins in ~/.ladspa

Ardour lists the plugins also per author, which is nice cause I know
Fons Adriaensen and Steve Harris made some good plugins.

/me doesn't really care what Ardour does. However, adding a plugin brower
with favorites, etc. is on my TODO list (and has been for some time).

It is up to the user to set the $LADSPA_PATH environment variable properly.

A nice feature is a nice feature. Anyway, nice to know it's on the list! :)

Other apps does find the plugins in ~/.ladspa

Some will, some won't. It's not in the spec.

"The exact mechanism by which plugins are loaded is host-dependent,
however all most hosts will need to know is the name of shared
object file containing the plugin types. To allow multiple hosts to
share plugin types, hosts may wish to check for environment
variable LADSPA_PATH. If present, this should contain a
colon-separated path indicating directories that should be searched
(in order) when loading plugin types."

Therefore, if you want *all* LADSPA compliant hosts to look in
~/.ladspa (why not ~/lib/ladspa or ~/myplugins?), you must put it in
$LADSPA_PATH.

I'm having zita-rev1 ladspa loaded in non-mixer (with a audio click/plop
when loading), nice!
Thx for this great tool!

Regarding groups, in non-mixer you can accomplish more or less the same
thing by routing the output of several channels into the input of another
channel...

To make it *exactly* the same, you have to create the 'group' strip with as
many channels as the total of group member strips, but most of the time
(when this comes up in my workflow), I don't mind the mixing, so I just
have a stereo (or whatever) strip.
