 ### crap Parametric Equalizer
 
-__crap_eq (0x000CAFED)__
+__crap\_eq (0x000CAFED)__
 
 multiband parametric EQ. try redefining BANDS.
 
 ### crap const Equalizer
 
-__crap_eq_const (0x0DEFACED)__
+__crap\_eq\_const (0x0DEFACED)__
 
 simpler code with a static response.
 edit code as needed.
 
 ### crap noises generator
 
-__crap_noise (0xEC57A71C)__
+__crap\_noise (0xEC57A71C)__
 
 white noise generator. loud, full-range, 0dBFS. don't say i didn't warn you.
 
 ## build notes
 
-`make` it. optional `benchmark` target which doesn't build on Windows.
+`make` it.
 
-with gcc, try `CFLAGS='-O3 -ffast-math'`.
-`-march=native` seems to degrade performance slightly, but YMMV.
+a `benchmark` target is included, however it doesn't build on Windows.
 
-with clang, (at the time of writing this)
-optimizations are not as tuneable so try `CFLAGS='-O2'`.
+try `CFLAGS="-O3 -ffast-math -march=core2"`
 
-can be cross-compiled for Windows for use in Audacity or a LADSPA wrapper.
+remember to export VST\_SDK\_DIR to the path of your vstsdk2.4/
+
+## TODO
+
+* finish VST/LADSPA parameter/port support in templates
+* convert crap\_eq and crap\_noise to the template format
+* rename plugins (fix capitalization consistency and such)
+* remove crap\_ prefixes?
+* move to subdirs?
+* make crap faster (hand-written SSE2? compiler directives?)
+* reduce input/output buffers on biquads (shared)
