pEqualizer - graphical EQ

#1 Post by 01micko »

pEqualizer

Pequalizer is included in Slacko and Dpup Exprimo. It is a simple gtkdialog gui frontend for alsaequal

For precise users there are instructions at that link.

For wary/racy users

For fatdog users

For lupu users (thanks Médor)

Dependencies
  • gtkdialog >=0.8.0 minimum, gtkdialog-0.8.2 recommended.
  • alsaequal-0.6
  • caps >=0.4
Latest updates will be posted here or in zigbert's post below.

Pequalizer is a joint venture by zigbert and 01micko (aka me). I wrote the original gtkdialog gui and zigbert added numerous enhancements such as the Presets and integration into Pmusic.

For more information, visit the Manual page.

Locale

As for the locale to translate the program?
Or as the template for translation?

pEqualizer uses gettext for translation so you can use MoManager to translate it. It will generate a file to translate.

Dromeno got the msg about Missing dependencies (written by pequalizer to stdout - see line 24). I think it should have been replaced by pEqualizer: Missing dependencies to avoid confusion.

I very much appreciate the work of you and 01micko.

Saw your efforts to help Dromeno.

Although I had not installed Pequalizer, I was able to follow your instructions for it, including getting the dependencies.

Thanks again

Oh, the attached picture is Pmusic 3.0.1 under the 'lina-lite version of Puppy Linux.

Later today I'll try under Lucid Puppy.

This is a really useful feature. However, I don't want to use it all the time. I have a high quality USB DAC that I use for audio and when I have good quality recordings I want to be able to send the music file directly to the USB audio without going through the equalizer or any mixers etc. Is it possible to switch the equalizer off and on so that I can either use it or completely bypass it (and any other devices that could modify the audio signal or resample it)?

When pequalizer is not running the equalizer backend is switched off. However, since it is integrated with Pmusic, when Pmusic is running so too is the equalizer backend.

The reason for this is that when alsaequal is running it conflicts with arecord and some alsa functions. I do realise that any software equalizer can only degrade signal.

Balance slider

#18 Post by Dromeno »

Request: I would like to have a balance slider in the pEqualizer. Weird but it is not in Alsa Mixer or Retrovol. And not on my external speaker set either.

or,even better, is it possible to split the equalizer in two, one equalizer for each speaker?

pMusic has builtin balance slider (But not in the default frontend). I plan to include volume/balance with the in the external equalizer window.

BUT, if Mick finds it more suitable to include it into pEqualizer, I will of course skip it.

Thanks for the reply to my earlier post about turning pequalizer on and off. I have been playing around with things since and may have come up with a solution. If I select my sound card in Pmusic: Preferences > Playback instead of the default "auto" setting, it says that this disables the equalizer. Therefore, my reasoning is that I should be able to use this setting to bypass the equalizer and, hopefully, any other processes that would modify the sound. Then if I want to use pequalizer, I can set it back to auto. Am I right or have I got this all wrong?
