RTLADSPA
It uses PortAudio v19 library to have access to the sound system of your computer. Main features:
- Runs in a terminal, no fancy graphical interface
- Runs LADPSA plugins in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_time real-time]. It lets you to adjust audio input/output buffer size to control the amount of latency. You can decrease it to the minimum that can be achieved by your sound card.
- Let you to specify input control parameters to the plugin (I-CTL ports)
Usage
Plug your microphone and speaker into computer's sound card, adjust rec and play volume levels, open a command-line window and run the program. Command-line syntax is:
rtladspa --module your_plugin.dll --parameters param1 param2 param3 ...
The last parameters (floating point data) are for the plugin and their meaning depends on the concrete plugin you are using. For example:
$ rtladspa --module flanger_1191.dll --parameters 10 5 0.3 0.8
To show help:
$ rtladspa --help
During the plugin execution, if you see the message "Input buffer overflow!" this means that your plugin is not running in real-time, try to increase the size of buffers/latency (or buy a faster computer!).
Requirements
- Windows 2K/XP/Vista
- Full-duplex sound card with drivers WMME (any sound card have a driver of this type). ASIO drivers is a plus, it offers the minimum latency and it's the one I recomend. With ASIO you can achieve a latency as low as 5 ms whereas with WWME don't expect less than 200 ms
- Microphone and speaker/headphones
If Windows complains about msvcrt80.dll library then install [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=32bc1bee-a3f9-4c13-9c99-220b62a191ee&DisplayLang=en vcredist_x86.exe] (2K/XP) or XP ServicePack 2.
