Add the ardour manual converted to docbook format with only a few minor
additions. Add dbhelper.vim key stroke mappings I use for working with docbook source. There are no xsl or css files for customizing the html output so it will look really boring...this will only be temporary. Support for content localization and generation of pdf's is planned. git-svn-id: svn://localhost/ardour2/trunk@1405 d708f5d6-7413-0410-9779-e7cbd77b26cf

+ Fortunately for us, there's <ulink url="http://ladspa.org">LADSPA!!</ulink>

+ Once you have the plugins installed, restart Ardour (don't forget to save!)
+ and open up the mixer window. See the black rectangle about 3/4 of the way
+ down the mixer strip? That's the sends list. Think of a mixer strip as a
+ signal path. Follow the signal as it flows from the top down through inputs,
+ varispeed settings, volume controls, plugins and sends, pan control and then
+ output. Right-click on the empty sends list and select <guimenuitem>New
+ Plugin</guimenuitem> from the popup menu.

+ You'll be presented with a list of available LADSPA plugins. experiment and
+ choose the one that's right for you. I really like the VyNil effect. It
+ creates an old worn out vynil record sound.
