Hi. Quick question: Is there an expected range for audio signals in the LADSPA?
I was testing my dynamics plugins with the "applyplugin" -app in the LADSPA SDK and found out that applyplugin uses the range of 16-bit integers as the range of audio signal with no scaling. Is this a standard? Or is the hosting application expected to scale the audio signals (which applyplugin does not do) from plugin to plugin (?) = the plugin author gives range hints and the application scales signals coming from different plugins to the same range. This is important since a dynamics plugin needs to know what is the nominal zero dB amplitude so the signals can be scaled accordingly. Personally I prefer 1.0 as being 0 dB (signal range -1.0 to 1.0), but I assume LADSPA people have a standard for this. Tommi Ilmonen.
