pulsemixer VS noise-repellent

Pulsemixer is the one I love. It's a TUI alternative to Pavucontrol. https://github.com/GeorgeFilipkin/pulsemixer

Honorable mention is Ncmpcpp, which is a TUI frontend for MPD.

I'm not sure which desktop or window manager you use, but you could try using a drop-down terminal like Guake and running pulsemixer on a tab in it.

Not a solution for switching audio devices from polybar, but if you're currently using pavucontrol, I highly recommend switching to pulsemixer: https://github.com/GeorgeFilipkin/pulsemixer

Mixers: alsamixer (always used) pulsemixer (always used) jack_mixer (autostarts on startup with customized default settings) qasmixer (very rarely) Non-Mixer(very rarely)

Frankly, what I hear is very similar to the results of classic spectral denoising, even with the characteristic artifacts (for Linux, there's Noise Repellent [1] available for advanced spectral denoising; there's also a ton of commercial spectral processors).

The demonstration could use more random background noises to separate it from spectral processors, and more varied vocabulary to separate it from RNNVoice [2] which tends to suppress breath and parts of sibilants, making the sound unnatural. The latency is also important - is it as low as in RNNVoice? What about the CPU load?

Plugins: LSP Plugins DISTRHO Plugins Calf Plugins TAP Plugins Noise-Repellent (The best thinge ever!)

The only thing it is missing natively which Audacity had built-in is background noise filtering; but that is easily accomplished with a plugin such as Lucian Dato's Noise Repellent.
