TAP-plugins is short for Tom's Audio Processing plugins. It is a bunch of
|
|
LADSPA plugins for digital audio processing, intended for use in a
|
|
professional DAW environment such as Ardour. These plugins should compile
|
|
and run on any recent (that is, not seriously outdated) GNU/Linux system.
|
|
They don't require any special libraries besides the standard GNU C and math
|
|
libraries, which are expected to be provided on the machine used for
|
|
compiling.
|
|
|
|
The audio processing algorithms done by TAP-plugins are coded to be
|
|
independent of the actual sample rate. The sample rate is always a parameter
|
|
during computations. The plugins have been tested with sample rates 44.1 kHz
|
|
and 96 kHz, as the author uses these values in his studio. Please note that
|
|
although all plugins should be essentially functional at virtually any
|
|
sample rate, the audio fidelity depends slightly on the actual sample rate
|
|
used. Higher sample rate is better, of course. This means that an equalizer
|
|
or reverberator plugin will produce higher quality output, and will sound a
|
|
bit smoother at 96 kHz compared to, say, 44.1 kHz. This is a natural effect
|
|
that results from the fundamental properties of digital signal processing,
|
|
but you should be aware of it nevertheless.
