Hello,
I've been trying to make a filter for a few months now, in order to
improve the sound I get from Pipewire, which has improved dramatically
since version 1.0.0. Today, I thought I'd finally managed to get a
sound I was satisfied with, so I took the filter off to check the
quality of the sound I was getting from my own filter, and was
astonished to hear the sound. The sound through my own filter was not
so much different, and the only difference was that there was no
reverbation in my own filter.
So, I went to the doctor for my regular check-up, and while I was
waiting to be seen, I suddenly had the idea that
"pipewire was using the plugins I had installed to create my filter".
When I got home and checked the source, as I had suspected, it had
been. On the other hand, I also found that pulseaudio does not have
this function.
BTW, when I installed the lv2 (lv2-SmartAmp) plugin for guitar sounds,
which I had only installed the vst3 plugin for, and played it, the
sound quality clearly improved.
What I don't understand is that I have installed plugins to improve
the sound of string, wind and percussion instruments, but they are
all vst3 plugins, and I have created my own filter using vst3
plugins. But there is no change in the sound without the filter...
(_ _?
Anyway, I created my own filter in the following way, and I used
synthesize to incorporate filters that improve the sound quality of
various instruments, along with filters that enhance the bass, but
this seems to be the same as the sound source processing that pipewire
does.
synrthesize --> equalize --> 7.1 virtualize --> reveb
So I think it would be good to install the lv2 plugins that matches
each sink, but I have installed too many lv2 plugins, so I don't know
which plug-in matches other than the guitar.
However, I think it's worth a try, so please give it a go. By the way,
when checking the effect of installing plugins, be sure to execute
$ systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber.
I think that people who like jazz and live performances will be fine
with this setup (listening on the same floor as the performers), but I
like the hall tone we get when listening in a concert hall or church,
so I make and use a reverb filter. If there are any people who want
it, I will upload the filter, so please let me know.
Best Regards & Good Night.
