EasyEffects Presets

Note: if you're searching for PulseEffects presets, select the pulseffects branch from the branch menu and follow the manual installation.

A collection of presets for wwmm's EasyEffects

It currently contains:

1. Bass Enhancing + Perfect EQ

   This preset is based on Ziyad Nazem's "Perfect EQ" combined with the Razor surround impulse response.

2. Bass Enhancing + Perfect EQ - Low Latency

   This is the low-latency version of the previous preset and uses a low-latency Razor Surround impulse response for reduced processing delay.

3. Perfect EQ

   This preset only enables Ziyad Nazem's "Perfect EQ"

4. Boosted

   This preset is based on Ziyad Nazem's "Boosted" equalizer settings, which especially enhance lower frequencies

5. Bass Boosted

   A stronger bass preset that combines the Razor Surround impulse response with a bass enhancer, crossfeed and a maximizer.

6. Advanced Auto Gain

   This preset is targeted for laptop speakers and tries to improve both lower and higher frequencies. It also tries to normalize the volumes in different medias like speech and music. More information can be found in this blog.

7. Laptop (LoudnessEqualizer)

   This preset is targeted for laptop speakers to get clear voice locals and prevent dimming of sound when bass part gets played. It is downloaded by the installer from Digitalone1's github and saved as Laptop.json.

8. Loudness+Autogain

   Another laptop speaker preset that combines loudness compensation, a bass enhancer, auto gain, a compressor and crossfeed.

9. Dolby Atmos

   This preset adds a Dolby Atmos-inspired processing chain for a wider and more immersive listening experience.

10. Speaker Sync

    A light crossfeed with a gentle equalizer curve, with delay and stereo tools stages ready to be tuned for your speakers.

The repository also includes low-latency IRS variants for Razor Surround, MaxxAudio Pro, and Waves MaxxAudio, plus a library of additional impulse responses (Accudio, Creative X-Fi, Dolby ATMOS, HTC Beats Audio, MaxxAudio) that are not used by any preset but can be selected in the Convolver effect.

Installation

The install.sh script will try to install the presets automatically, just fire up a terminal and run the command:

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JackHack96/EasyEffects-Presets/master/install.sh)"

When choosing Install all presets, the installer also downloads the low-latency preset and low-latency IRS files.

NOTE: the script requires curl to be installed. Ubuntu doesn't ship with curl installed by default, so you have to first run

sudo apt install curl

before running the script.

Manual installation

Clone the repository, then copy the .json files into the output directory and the .irs files into the irs directory of your EasyEffects data directory. The location depends on your EasyEffects version and on how you installed it:

	EasyEffects 8.0 and newer	EasyEffects 7.x and older
Distribution package (PPA, AUR, ...)	~/.local/share/easyeffects	~/.config/easyeffects
Flatpak	~/.var/app/com.github.wwmm.easyeffects/data/easyeffects	~/.var/app/com.github.wwmm.easyeffects/config/easyeffects

For example, for EasyEffects 8 installed from your distribution:

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/easyeffects/{output,irs}
cp *.json ~/.local/share/easyeffects/output/
cp irs/*.irs ~/.local/share/easyeffects/irs/

The installer detects the directory automatically; you can override it by setting PRESETS_DIRECTORY before running it.

Adding a preset

1. Add the preset .json file (and any .irs file it uses in irs/, referenced by kernel-name).
2. Add it to the matching array in install.sh (and to the menu if it needs a new option).
3. Describe it in this README.
4. Run python3 scripts/check_refs.py and shellcheck install.sh; CI runs the same checks on every pull request.
