Re: [LAU] Auto-Wah and Clav... not quite

Hi Ken,

Have you tried ecasound?
Here you will find some auto-wah presets (this is what google came up
with but I believe that file is installed by default with ecasound).
http://cvs.seul.org/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/sound/ecasound/effect_presets?rev=1.9

I used it on this song here:
http://creazone.ca/snd/mangermanger.mp3

I guess I tweaked it to my needs but it's been so long ago...
