Hi
I have a project where I need to lower the volume of the piano in the
chorus. So I inserted a ladspa "simple amplifier" in the strip. First I
should say that it was extremely hard *not* to crash non-mixer working
with this. Not sure what I had to do, but it was easy :-) A few other
comments:
1) The simple amplifier has values in db, 0 is neutral, -70 i minimum. I
found that the 0 of the control curve translated to 0db all right.
However the closest smaller amount I could convince the mouse to insert
was -0.04, next 0.07, next, 0.11 and next what I settled for) 0.15. The
later translates to -10.4 db. So two problems here: 2.5db are rather
large intervals and second; very odd to edit in one scale when it
actually is transformed into another scale. I guess it's a bug...
2) In the heat I also tried to insert a gain instead. This led to some
confusion when I was to connect it to a parameter since it was tricky to
distinguish my "lower-the-chorus" gain from the master fader on the
strip. Again (as mentioned in an earlier post) renaming the modules
would be really great here. One sure way to crash the mixer, btw, was to
connect to the "wrong" gain, remove the connection, and connect the
right one...
3) Again with simple amplifier: Although the curve shows a flat line to
the first control point, the control is actually sending the minimum
value (in this case setting the simple amplifier to -70db). Same in the
end. So one needs to insert a control point before and after the song.
Would be great if the sending would correspond with the graphics of the
line, so these at the start/end of song points are not needed.
4) In ardour one can grab the middle of a control line segment and
raise/lower the whole line including the points that defines its
endpoints. Would be great to have something similar in non.
5) Actually the way I would have preferred to do this was to set the
attenuation in a simple amplifier and then switch it on in all choruses
and bypass is elsewhere. All choruses needs the same treatment and this
way I would be able to change one value and have it affect all choruses.
Unfortunately it's not possible to control bypass switch of a module in
non. Would this be possible to add?
