Hm, if I understand right, what You have in mind is creating rooms by
adding the same virtual room over and over and placing the sources in
differtent places of that room? That´s the way I have done it for
several years in Cubase or Nuendo. Certainly a good idea, but that part
is definitely not mastering, it´s part of the mix itself.
The problem might be, that the ladspa plugins have not yet reached the
sound quality and usability of a Trueverb or TC-verb, where you can
easily create a room with one wooden- and one brickwall with a carpet on
the floor instead of guessing some kind of reverb-room-don´t-know with
one or two sliders.
That are the main reasons, why I´m playing with, but not yet using
ardour and it´s companions in a production environment in this stage of
development.
