Hi, I found something that I don't want to edit without your agreement.
"Having tried out a few of these tools, my favorites list ended up with mostly standard Calf plugins. They come with an intuitive GUI and get the job done." - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/AudioHandbook/MixingMastering It doesn't make sense, if each editor would start to edit this to something different. There were a lot of discussions related to Calf plugins, perhaps the AudioHandbook should take them into account, for example http://lists.ardour.org/pipermail/ardour-users-ardour.org/2018-November/date.html. At the moment I can't say anything about multiband compressor replacements, however, much important for mastering is an equalizer, while for mastering a graphical equalizer could be wanted for the stereo sum, I unfortunately can't say much about Linux graphical equalizers. Fortunately I'm comfortable with a parametric equalizer for the stereo sum, too. Per track British EQing, IOW a parametric EQ anyway is the way to go. My recommendation is to remove "Having tried out a few of these tools, my favorites list ended up with mostly standard Calf plugins. They come with an intuitive GUI and get the job done." completely and to replace it with a hint to Fons' parametric EQ https://packages.ubuntu.com/cosmic/fil-plugins, since this is the only Linux FLOSS EQ I ever used, that is usable. A lot of other EQ plugins do not really do, what they should do and I'm without doubts a lot of other users confirm this experience. For those who prefer a fancy GUI, there is Robin's EQ based upon Fons' EQ. https://packages.ubuntu.com/cosmic/x42-plugins https://x42-plugins.com/x42/x42-eq Perhaps the Handbook could mention: "Some plugins are known to cause issues with some hosts or they are known for fishy accuracy. A much used parametric EQ known to do what it should do, is provided by the package "fil-plugins" or with a GUI, by the package "x42-plugins". This is what I would write, it's missing a hint to a recommended compressor, graphic EQ and limiter, but at least it's IMO a good recommendation for a parametric EQ.
