what took me time to understand with software-music made in linux is its 
absolute modularity. yes there are DAW's but in our realm, they are merley 
one module in the loop. i don't see this lack you describe, but i'm an 
optimist who thinks a hit can be made with a voice and a handclap. my point 
is that i believe the question of navigating and finding one's 'at home' in 
the existing plethora of plugs we distribute, yet again, boils down to 
documentation.

on a side note, i'm not sure it's lv2 but i've used calf 
conpressor/limiter/eq/reverb extensively in many tracks published on my 
site. i think calf is remarkably good. this might mean i'm a bad producer, 
i'd say at best it means i have a bad taste. but do we realy want to 
discuss taste?

however, i welcome any suggestion of extra plugins.
