LADSPA

LADSPA (Linux Audio Developer Simple Plugin API) is a standard interface that allows developers to create and share audio effect plugins for Linux-based digital audio workstations. It enables musicians and sound engineers to easily add, use, and manage various audio processing tools—like reverb, equalizers, and compressors—within their audio software. Think of LADSPA as a common language that ensures different audio plugins can work seamlessly across compatible applications, making it easier to customize and expand your audio production setup efficiently.
