  1. Ardour Users: Notice and WARNING
  2. ================================
  3. ALL the plugins in caps have been renamed as of caps-0.3.0. While this is
  4. clearly within the bounds of the LADSPA specification, ardour will fail to
  5. load caps plugins from earlier releases referenced in your existing session
  6. files should you install caps-0.3.0 over a previous release.
  7. As a quick workaround, you can install caps with
  8. # make alt-install
  9. which will install the plugins as 'caps-ng.so', leaving your existing
  10. installation of caps intact so you can manually update your sessions within
  11. ardour to use the latest versions of the caps plugins.
  12. The downside is you're now stuck with two implementations of identical
  13. plugins, and some hosts will (quite sensibly) complain about this. So after
  14. you're done updating your ardour sessions, installing caps under its rightful
  15. name of 'caps.so' is a good idea.
  16. As an alternative, you can also run a search-and-replace on your ardour
  17. session files. I'll be happy to help you there should you require
  18. assistance, just drop me a mail.
  19. RDF metadata
  20. ============
  21. Pete Leigh has graciously provided a RDF file that refines the user interface
  22. of the Cabinet and SweepVF plugins within ardour (adding labels to the SweepVF
  23. filter modes and the Cabinet speaker models to be precise). I have dabbled
  24. with these files so if they fail to work for you, it's all my fault.
  25. You should be able install the file on your system with
  26. # make rdf-install
  27. but be warned that I have set this up blindly. Tell me if it works for you.
