oh, sorry, for some reason I thought -c was the default. I'll
try it out.

I was very, very disappointed to find that this package (about which
I had heard such good things) had been taken off the site because of
(imho) foolish litigiousness on the part of people unwilling to take
responsibility for their own risk assumption.

wow. I can see I have a lot of reading to do. where I used to have
a 19in rack full of gizmos with lots of knobs, now I have zillions

sounds like there's a need for a HOWTO for ecasound, as in perhaps
mapping its features to the way one used to do these things in the
old analog world -- i.e. "if you used to use a TimeLine or other
digital delay, this is how do do the same thing with ecasound"...
well, that's what this old fossil would like to read anyway :-)
