dsp VS easyeffects

Thanks for detailed comment really apprentice it I found this https://github.com/bmc0/dsp which uses LADSPA API

DSP effects can also be implemented in ALSA via CLI using dsp (this would be closest to a systemwide solution, but does not support Bluetooth)

I guess you can use alsa's ladspa plugin host plugin and your favorite convolution plugin, but there obviously will be no graphical way to adjust any settings.

This SEEMS to be one formula for it, but I cannot decypher the gobbledegook https://github.com/bmc0/dsp/wiki/System-Wide-DSP-Guide

An Oratory1990 preset could help a lot. The stock tuning isn't too good. If you're using Windows, EqualizerAPO and Peace are a good EQ. I think that eqMac 2 will do it for Mac. Linux is a bit more complex to use/research, but maybe EasyEffects, pulseaudio-equalizer-ladspa, dsp, or LSP Plugins.

It took me a week to dial in the software side of my setup. NAS shared FLAC's -> Raspberry Pi -> RompR UI -> MPD -> bmc0's dsp for equalizing -> Asgard 2 -> Dan Clark Aeon Open X... and, ok, wow! I now see the appeal in spending an awful lot of cash and the time to fine-tune everything to perfection. I think it hit me when I kept wanting to turn it up because it just sounded so clear, but kept bumping it back down because I was afraid I was hitting some potentially damaging levels. Any other setup I've used was self limiting because of misbalance, a piercing treble spike for example would keep my enthusiasm in check.

If the latter, dsp, if the former look at the lsp-plugins collection. The latter will need Jack/Pipewire as I don't think Pulseaudio supports LV2 (it does support LADSPA for dsp).

Not very likely, the platform is simply too small for audio and gaming to justify the effort and cross platform development is limited when it comes to driver and audio/system APIs. I wouldn't hope for it anytime soon ): I think people wrote about Peace EQ, not sure if it has a Linux version.. otherwise pulseaudio+alsa, jack and calf/lsp plugins, maybe https://github.com/bmc0/dsp ..it gets very frickly very fast with audio on Linux if feel 😅

Linux: EasyEffects (free and open-source)

For DSP, we already can do that using something like Easy Effects[1][2].

The biggest issue is acquiring proper impulse-response data. In theory, it has to be tuned per-model, so turning basically require pro-grade equipment and a recording studio. However, apparently many people assume Dolby is using the same profile for all laptops, so just copy-paste the same file here and there. Not really sure which is the real case.

Anyways, Asahi can ship DSP turned on by default because the distro is specific to Apple. That's how Apple boosts the quality of its hardware, and the same applies to a distro dedicated to it.

Easyeffects maybe.

EasyEffects could be a replacement for EqualizerAPO. You can do some gain staging there if you want, as well as a bunch of other stuff.

Is this a general comment meant to apply to anything or are you specifically talking about Easy Effects here?

It has installation instructions in the README, links to a wiki page with more information (https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects/wiki/Package-Repositorie...), the application contains full documentation under the "Help" item in the menu (as many applications do) and they also have the same documentation online (https://wwmm.github.io/easyeffects/).

Not sure what more you could ask for?

I guess they're referring to my tickets: https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects/issues/2322 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/issues/3198
