Add support for Foobar2000 EQ #670

Closed razvanab closed 1 year ago

razvanab commented 1 year ago

Support for Foobar2000 audio player EQ.

Here is an example for the EQ format:

Metal: 4 5 5 3 0 -1 -2 -1 0 1 1 1 1 0 -1 -1 -1 -1 Pop 6 5 3 0 -2 -4 -4 -6 -3 1 0 0 2 1 2 4 5 6 Clear 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

I'm curious about the rationale behind this. Wouldn't it be more convenient to have the equalizer settings applied universally, eliminating the need for equalization at the app level?

razvanab commented 1 year ago

That is true, but unfortunately, there is no way to import presets into the Realtek audio app, which most people use.

ryne commented 1 year ago

The general recommendation is to setup Peter's Equalizer APO (Peace) and import presets there. There were a few guides on r/headphones on how to do so but it looks like the subreddit is still locked down in protest. It should be compatible with your setup.

razvanab commented 1 year ago

I'll try that, thank you.

Desktop foobar2000 has both a convolver and a standard 31-band equaliser, both of which are better than the default equaliser, and both of which are already supported, though none of these plugins have been recompiled for x64.

I have released some code to build presets for Foobar2k EQ directly from AutoEq command line. It's still a suggestion to Jaakko (might pull a request after more testing done) but, if interested, you can find the code listed at Head-Fi.

razvanab commented 1 year ago

Thank you.

If Foobar has convolver available then that's really what should be used. The standard Convolution Eq option in the web app should cover the needs for that. Therefore I won't be implementing anything custom for Foobar.

AFAIK, Foobar2k Mobile version does not include convolver. Foobar Mobile on iOS, has no other way to get a decent equalizer other than build-in SuperEQ."

SuperEQ support would be super @jaakkopasanen. fb2k is a must have (and others also use SuperEQ). @JuhaTP already did all the work apparently, can't you simply use it?

@JuhaTP FYI If you're still interested in this: Your fork fails with a keyerror for fs. Probably simple to fix, but not my area of expertise at all.
