camilladsp VS dsp

there's nothing better than https://github.com/HEnquist/camilladsp

CamillaDSP offers cross platform IIR and FIR filters, and can integrate with a GUI. It may take some time to set up though.

BlackHole2ch + CamillaDSP is VERY nerdy, but it's a fun option if you like FOSS and/or command line tools.

A more advanced option is CamillaDSP. It routes audio through a virtual device, so you can also map output as needed.

I'm running camilladsp on a Pi4 (see https://github.com/HEnquist/camilladsp and https://github.com/HEnquist/camilladsp-config). Configuration file is super flexible - the filters I'm using are biquad and IIR (https://github.com/hughpyle/raspot/blob/master/var\_cache\_raspotify/dsp.conf), but it also supports FIR filters and I expect should have enough CPU power for a few thousand taps.

Hi u/oratory1990! Could you please tell me how I should configure the shelf filters in CamillaDSP? It's using slope (dB/octave) values. There are also high pass and low pass filters in CamillaDSP.

I am using MoOde as streaming client which integrates CamillaDSP in its latest version 7.0.1.

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 😅
