Suggestions for bundled GVerb plugin

Steve,

I find it somewhat depressing that your post to -devel garnered not a single reply.

I find it somewhat depressing that your post to -devel garnered not a single reply.

Actually I sent it to the QA list and only Cc: to devel.
The timing of my post was probably a bit unfortunate as everyone is tied up with the release of Audacity 1.3.13 at the moment.
Have you made any progress with compiling/patching on Windows?

Have you made any progress with compiling/patching on Windows?

I got it to compile as noted above but stopped when I could not figure out the -70 vs. -63 thing. We would either need to get one set of figures which worked on all three platforms or figure out how to get the same results (defaults being the same) with pre-compiler #defines. Not having a Mac person to help us is a problem–we need to get someone to compile your code on Mac so Bill can test it.

Not having a “LADSPA” person (developer) is also a stumbling block.
I think I’m going to leave this now until Audacity 1.3.13 has been released, then see if there is any support from QA or devel.

Unfortunately I’m not a programmer or I would have done so long ago.

We do not compile GVerb for the Audacity source distro. I could not find the source code nor could I find any non-Audacity based support site. Do you have the source or know someone who does?

In the updated “Release Process/Win” notes, I see that is no longer the case:
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Release_Process/Win#Copy_other_necessities_to_release_build_folder

We are still keeping some of the LADSPA plug-ins in the Audacity installer, even though we are now offering a separate installer that includes all the LADSPA plug-ins built from version 0.4.15. We include gverb_1216.dll, hard_limiter_1413.dll and sc4_1882.dll. So:

1. Check > http://plugin.org.uk/ > for updates.
2. If none, just grab the dlls from a previous release.
3. If updated, build these via the audacitywinLADSPA_plugins-win project (see audacitywinLADSPA_plugins-winreadme_LADSPA_plugins-win.txt).
4. Once you have these DLL files, put them in the plug-ins folder, e.g., audacitywinunicode_releaseplug-ins.

So that reason is why GVerb is no longer in version 2.0.5(I also noticed 2.0.4 lacks that plugin as well.)

Oh, neither timeshift.ny is in the “plugins” directory in Audacity 2.0.5

[steve]

GVerb has been replaced by the (much better) “Reverb” effect: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/reverb.html

timeshift.ny is an optional plug-in. It has never been shipped as part of the Audacity release.
