Problem with TAP plugins and Ardour, also what stereo EQ plugin?

Hi,

I've been trying to use the TAP plugins in Ardour2 beta 12
and
sometimes de tracks where they are inserted become silent
(this is
using the EQ plugin). The CPU usage stays low so I don't
know if this
is related to the denormal problem I've been reading in the
list
archives.

Also I was wondering what stereo LADSPA EQ plugins do people
use with
Ardour. I find it difficult to EQ a stereo track by routing
it to two
mono buses each one with a mono EQ plugin and habing to
adjust one at
a time. Am I missing something here?

Thank you!

Hector

You are missing: If you add a mono-effect to a stereo-track
you get two 
mono-effects with just one gui. So EQ'ing a stereo track
with the 
Three-Band-Parametric-With-Shelves works just the same as on
mono-tracks: 
Just add the EQ and work with it 

Regarding the TAP-EQ: Sometimes it help to move some of the
parameter-sliders. 
Espacially the frequency-slider on EQs.

I've tried duplicating this issue but haven't been able to
do that.

Can you figure out what in that session causes the plugin to
be quiet?
Maybe you could whip up a session for the developers which
exhibits this
issue?
