EasyEffects

What EasyEffects is

EasyEffects applies audio effects to applications managed by PipeWire, including app output and microphone audio sent to recording applications. Its effects include equalization, compression, convolution, limiting, noise reduction, reverberation, pitch shifting, and stereo tools. Users can arrange the processing chain, process input or output streams, and exclude selected applications. Processed output can be exposed through Easy Effects Source for use by recording and communication applications. Configurations can be saved, imported, and reused on another system, or set to load automatically for selected input or output devices. The PipeWire tab reports details such as version, sample rate, installed modules, and loaded clients. EasyEffects is free and open source under GNU GPL version 3 or later, and runs on Linux. PipeWire is required. Most current Linux distributions package it, and a sandboxed Flatpak package is also available with the available plugins. Some distribution packages may omit plugin packages needed for certain effects. The project cautions users to keep hardware as the default audio device rather than using Easy Effects virtual devices as default input or output.
