| - | ===== Strengths [Weaknesses] ===== | ||

| - | |||
| - | **Stable** | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP indent> | ||
| - | Audio effects are not easy to generate, but the Calf audio effects are some of the most stable and reliable available. | ||
| - | </WRAP> | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Attractive** | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP indent> | ||
| - | If you want your audio rig to look good as well as sound good, the new UI for Calf effects are nothing like the old utilitarian sliders and number fields from the days of old. These are attractive and enviable GUI applications. | ||
| - | </WRAP> | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Complete** | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP indent> | ||
| - | The Calf collection is nearly an entire studio, encompassing synths, a sample player, effects, and utilities like gates and compressors and limiters. | ||
| - | </WRAP> | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Fun** | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP indent> | ||
| - | You make music because it's fun. Calf effects play along. | ||

| - | ===== Weaknesses [Strengths] ===== | ||
| - | </WRAP> | ||
| - | |||
| - | **New** | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP indent> | ||
| - | Calf effects recently got a major overhaul, and with that, the new Calf plugins may not work with your old projects that used Calf. Of course, Calf is open source and open source never really dies, so you can install the original Calf plugins to go back through your old projects and freeze the tracks using the effects. However, you cannot have both the original and the new plugins installed. | ||

| - | =====Install===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Installation of Calf studio gear is theoretically straight-forward, but for the transitionary quirks resulting from the recent update from the LADSPA format (the Linux native plugin format, akin to VST, RTAS, or AU) to LADSPA version 2 (''lv2'' for short). | ||
| - | |||
| - | If you have old music projects that used the original Calf plugins, then now would be a good time to install Calf version 1 and freeze or bounce your tracks, baking in the effects to relieve the projects from depending upon old Calf plugins. | ||
| - | |||
| - | You can get the old Calf plugins from [[http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/audio/calf]], or from this anonymous [[http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/audio/calf|backup location]] (the md5sums have been verified, and this backup is a trusted source). | ||
