Some eg. on how to use 'em.
Limiters eg. "Tap scaling Limiter or Calf Scaling Limiter": Is used, in most cases to prevent your song from "clipping."
Clipping: Is kinda like when you make a song, the "red zone" in the meter. Green is good. Red is very bad.
Or it prevents certain frequencies, in your music, or instrument "eg. Loud Drum or Super Saws etc." from causing Clipping. Or exceeding the boundaries, that makes your music sound, noisy/Crackly/distorted, etc. and gives the listener a headache.
There are much more explanations. So check the Lmms Wiki. Taa Daa!
Reverb eg. Calf Reverb: "Is one of your best friends." It makes your instruments, samples or sounds, sound nice.
Or "fuller." Well....most of the time.
In other words it makes your instruments, samples or sounds, sound more "fuller." Well I hope you get what I mean.
Used together with Chorus Flanger. You'll get unique sounds. You don't have to use Chorus Flanger or Calf Reverb if you don't want too. It's up to you.
Equaliser thingys eg. The Tap Equaliser thingy
: Is used, in most cases, to raise or lower certain frequencies, of your songs, instruments and music.
People use it alot, when making Super Saws. But not in all cases.
Echoes eg. Tap Stereo Echo: Well......................thats explanitory. It makes echoes.
Vst's or Vsti's? Well Vst's are another story. Check musikbears link.
Well you don't have to use them the way I explained, so it's up to you and your own preferences.
Whew! That was a lot to write. Hope you learned somethings. I'm hungry! Time to EAT dinner!! YAY!!
