[ardour-users] Problem with TAP plugins and Ardour, also what stereo EQ plugin?

[Dan Tepper]

This was a CONSTANT problem for me - the TAP EQ's would load "dead" -
not working. Cutting and pasting into each channel solved the problem -
but was prohibitive on big projects. I am now using the 3-band
parametric with shelving which loads properly every time.
