>watch video>some retard didn't use a hiss filter or audio balance is fucked>just open carla and add some EQ or reroute channels in 10 seconds MAXLinux audio has come a long way since the days of ALSA NO SOUND memes.
easyeffects is the software that's actually intended for this use case. very useful for boosting mono up to dual mono, and volume leveling for retards that don't understand that the volume of their voice is affected by the distance to the microphone.
>>108843429Would you happen to have an example video and what filter to use for that? I would like to test this out myself.
>>108843429Easyeffects is nice but you can't add arbitrary LV2/VST/Etc filters to it. The LSP plugins are way more useful
you can inject soundcloud beats into a very boring long lecture video with easyeffects 'speech processor', btw. arch linux, btw.
>>108843429 >>108843437 >>108843444Years ago I just installed EasyEffects with some LoudnessEqualizer thing and it works. It is easy to switch it off and back on if you need to do something where you want to hear the actual audio levels.
>>108843437>example videoThis is the most brutal torture test I've ever found. Being YouTube, obviously make sure their own "Stable Volume" feature is disabled during testing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3hI1PLVYnM>filterAuto Gain: Target: -15 dB, Silence: -55 dB, Maximum History: 6 s, Reference: MomentaryAuto Leveling: Attack: 10.00 ms, Release: 10.00 ms, Knee: 2.5 dBLimiter: all defaults. This should always be the end of your filterchain regardless of what it is so you don't blow up your speakers.Windows also has a volume normalization feature that almost nobody seems to know about. To be fair it is fairly buried. Need to go to Control Panel > under Category View: Hardware and Sound > under Sound: Manage audio devices > whichever device you're using > Properties > Enhancements > Loudness Equalization. The default release time seems good for most stuff, could go lower if you're watching something like a Nolan movie. Same with the Linux filterchain above. You'd think you should be able to change this in the UWP settings app but I guess they started making the effects dropdown 15 years ago and just never finished it.I assumed this whole reply you were asking about leveling. For mono to dual mono it's somewhere in Stereo Tools. I don't remember exactly. Or on Windows in the UWP settings > System > Sound.
>>108843429I still use PulseEffects because pipewire is bloated ass cancer
>>108843405kek
>>108843429>boosting mono up to dual monoI've always been perplexed why streaming sites or operating systems don't do this themselves. There's no reason to actually only send audio to your left speaker. None whatsoever.
>>108843429i use this when i put some playlist on before bed so it doesn't accidentally wake me up. i'm happy it switched to Qt too. we can finally have a tray icon for it.
>>108845218>using poetteringware
>>108843429JamesDSP is far superior https://github.com/Audio4Linux/JDSP4Linux
How do I make my voice sound like a Space Marine through the mic?
>>108850338Echo + pitch shift down + reverb and hit random bullshit in the parameters until it comes right.
>>108845218What the hell are you talking about? For most people it literally just functions as a pulseaudio wrapper and everything is modular. Are you just an oldgoodnewbad retard because if so respectfully hang yourself, you're holding progress back.
>>108843392you might want copy dolby nr curves fe/cr
>>108845218pipewire is more UNIX philosophy adjacent than pulse, it does less work and does it better than pulse did. most linux audio stacks use wireplumber on top for routing/mixing and a pulseaudio wrapper that works on top of wireplumber to provide audio and it's vastly superior both in features and reliability to pulseaudio. especially with modern bluetooth audio, that's where the biggest differences lie. also pulse was poetteringware so i'm glad it's gone. nowadays pulseaudio is more of a standardized audio output API for applications that works on top of pipewire than a whole audio stack itself
>>108843429I don't understand what the author means when he says "equalizers" cause distortion and you should use multiband compressors instead. Both sound pretty distorted to me by the time they're doing something to change what the output sounds like.
>>108843392>starshipamanofpovertyaswellisee
>>108843392Absolutely every audio framework on Linux is still based on ALSA. PulseAudio, Pipewire, they're all fancy convoluted frontends for ALSA.
>>108850708Or install Cardinal and make a patch, then use that patch as a filter.
