Vladimir Sadovnikov is the founder and the main developer of the LSP Project. For over than ten years he became an experienced software developer with knowledge of x86 Assembly, C, C++, Perl and Java languages. Beside the programming he is an extreme-style guitar player specialized on wide range of Heavy Metal styles, extreme vocalist, composer and non-professional sound engineer. After he became a GNU/Linux user and developer, he started to explore sound processing under GNU/Linux and met lack of some useful software. Due to the fact that not all his patches to open-source projects were accepted by their communities and the demand of these patches by other people is evident, he decided to start his own project where these patches could become new independent life after some correction and refactoring. LSP (Linux Studio Plugins) is a collection of open-source plugins compatible with following formats:<ul><li>LADSPA - set of plugins for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LADSPA" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Linux Audio Developer's Simple Plugin API</a></li><li>LV2 - set of plugins and UIs for <a href="http://lv2plug.in/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Linux Audio Developer's Simple Plugin API (LADSPA) version 2</a></li><li>LinuxVST - set of plugins and UIs for <a href="http://www.steinberg.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Steinberg's VST 2.4</a> format ported on GNU/Linux Platform</li><li>JACK - Standalone versions for <a href="http://jackaudio.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">JACK Audio connection Kit</a> with UI</li></ul> The basic idea is to fill the lack of good and useful plugins under the GNU/Linux platform. After some contributions to other open source projects the decision was made to implement separate and independent plugin distribution.
