  Its partly a matter of taste - I like the hard digital filter sound, I

  think it makes a pleasant change from analogue filters warmth.
  In addition I'm a modular synthesist at heart, so if it annoyed me I would

  just bung a lowpass->valve sim->lowpass on the end (this is what most VST

  plugins will do).
  I think I tend to use, and think of LADSPA plugins at a lower level than

  most people. This became obvious at linuxtag.
  But, mostly, making plugins sound warm requires more work, and no-one has

  requested it (up til now).

Steve, since you wrote this I have been doing a lot more work with the

ladpsa plugins and I tend to agree that the default sounds of a lot of

them are very hard.
Can you elaborate more on how and why you use "lowpass->valve

sim->lowpass on the end" to create a more warm sound?
Thanks. BTW. I think it would be a very good addition for the LAU FAQ so

I'll add this as it comes to light.

We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything

I've ever done.
