dsp VS Carla

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 😅

Is this the Carla software you are talking about?

Sure.

Carla: https://github.com/falkTX/Carla

It lets me install any normal audio pro audio plugins, for example https://github.com/xiph/rnnoise

It also does some cable management, but qpwgraph is maybe better for that.

I looked at your code and the approach (IMO) is kind of bad.

If you want to solve the problem of "voice changer", you can skip the UI entirely and just use plugin parameters. You can also skip the problem of managing the connections. And when you publish your work, every pro audio software (Ableton, Reaper, whatever) can use your audio processing.

Hope that helps.

If you're looking for a realtime VST Host, I use Carla with the JACK Audio Connection Kit for low-latency EQ and other FX which are realtime on my Microphone, which then get redirected to a virtual microphone (all on Linux, should still be possible on Windows). So far that worked greatly.

You may also, if you haven't already, look into Carla as a plugin host. Carla supports midi and osc for control.

If you're using pipewire, easyeffects is probably the simplest road to take. A plugin host/patch bay like Carla is a bit more complicated but offers more flexibility.

here's a FOSS plugin https://github.com/werman/noise-suppression-for-voice you can use it with Carla https://github.com/falkTX/Carla

Carla is a standalone one.

Yeah, an old version of jack2 gets you that behaviour. See https://github.com/falkTX/Carla/issues/1274 and https://github.com/falkTX/Carla/issues/1268 for related discussions.

I was reading this on git : https://github.com/falkTX/Carla/issues/828 And found out the I only thing I need is carla-git installed to have this option . Now I have installed it , reboot my system, update and upgrade but there is still no "add jack application" option available. Is carla-git part of carla or is it different ? I'm not sure how to enble it probably? thanks for any answer .
