[Kdenlive-devel] Questions about audio effects

[Hugh Tebby]

I was wrong, it wasn't the 1197 plugin that was used ;)
I tested adding a new equalizer and it seems to work fine. I should send a
patch this week-end if I have an internet connection. I'll try to also add
more detailed or precise descriptions of audio effects.

By the way I had to make some code modifications in initEffects.cpp, and it
seems a bit "hackish", having to activate the effect manually in the code,
along with the parameters that were already specified in the xml file. There
are also 4 ladspa effects that aren't treated the same way (nearly but not
quite...), like the current equalizer effect for instance.

I suppose there is a reason for this (maybe something to do with jack ?),
but it looks like this bit of code could be cleaned up and automated.
