I've coded a routine which writes EQ settings for Voicemeeter Banana EQ. I'm not yet familiar with GitHub features so I list all needed code here if someone likes to pull a request... (I'll pull request at some point after learning how to). I have tested functionality with command line...

OK, I made one quick implementation (not very familiar with Python) which solves gains for SuperEQ from equalization column data which is showed in spreadsheet tables written by AutoEQ. I've forked AutoEq on GitHub so there you'll find all implemented. Command line script: python3 -m autoeq...

Looked a bit AutoEq suitability to make EQ preset for Foobar2k Desktop/Mobile (+ SuperEQ, DeaDBeeF, AviSynth) (yes, that 18-band build-in EQ in question). Biggest "problem" is how to 'compensate' Foobar2k EQ response because of it uses integer step gains at predefined bandwidths? Tried three...

If you're on Windows Vista or higher, there's an utility called EqualizerAPO with GraphicEQ feature which uses linear interpolation between set frequency points ... it's easy to use (just filling a table), just add those few frequency points from your plot and gain for them to match the curves.

Actually, Peace works with any driver mode and also with ASIO too because of it has nothing to do with audio/drivers ... it's just a GUI to prepare a file called peace.txt (peace.txt holds filtering commands given in Peace GUI which then are used by EqualizerAPO when included in config.txt) 🧙‍♂️...

@cgb3, There are many VAC based systems (usually VST/AU effect hosts in question so you have wide effects base available) but, in the past, I've used Voicemeeter BANANA which has build-in 8 channel parametric EQ (also (as you seem to use EqualizerAPO already) you be able to integrate Voicemeeter...

Hmm... depends on what is sample rate/bit-depth of your source audio? If it is, lets say, Redbook CD format (16-bit/44.1kHz) or other 44.1kHz base audio then don't expect your output to stay original and therefore, depending on SRC quality, can be even worse compared to original ... if source...

Monkey media ... you mean MediaMonkey? I have not used MediaMonkey for a decade but IIRC, it allows scripts written using VBscript and JScript languages. My guess is that you can find suitable script at least to start with by Googling it but, if not then maybe someone here forums can help you...

Could you use flac.exe by making a batch file or script to loop all flac files with --output-prefix parameter enabled. https://xiph.org/flac/download.html https://xiph.org/flac/documentation_tools_flac.html

There's this graphics hardware acceleration option ...

Hmm... have you tried if adjusting mouse sampling rate helps?

Hmm... IIRC, EAC supports this setting but, getting it enabled in writing process, your burning software should have support for this feature (I don't think it is fixed to be enabled).

Hmm... if ripping/writing went OK then it should sound same. Only possible reason that comes into mind is that CD-emphasis state does not match. If CD-emhasis is OK (either disabled or enabled in both) then try compare the written data written to blank CD against data original CD (there sure...

You should point this question directly to Peter Verbeek who is the developer for Peace. Filters targeted to device(s) named in Device: <device names> command are active as long as there's next Device: command given. Default is "All" so, without Device: -command all devices, which have APOs...

#1 ... you mean 768kHz/32-bit. Is this an issue only when EqualizerAPO is in use? IIRC, EqualizerAPO does not have limit for sample rate but I have not tested this because of 192kHz/24-bit is enough for me. #2 EqualizerAPO works in (Windows default) WASAPI Shared mode drivers only (this incl...

Hmm... have you some info why it don't work? Remember that ASIO, WASAPI Exclusive and WDM/KS modes bypasses APO layer ... you need to use Voicemeeter (I prefer Banana version) as an endpoint device for EqualizerAPO with these driver modes.

I don't know how it would even keep the original quality when you go from 44.1kHz (source) --> 705.6kHz (player) to 768kHz (hardware) (768/705.6=1.08843537415). Using 48kHz sources probably would keep the original quality when outputted at 768kHz (16*48=768).

If you're after a system-wide equalizer then EqualizerAPO could be your choice.

Can you use VAC (virtual audio cable) with VSTHost + RTA VST plug-in or with a analyzer you listed ? Here's one spectrum analyzer : https://vb-audio.com/Spectralissime/index.htm

Hmm... just a thought, if I were in your situation, I would wait the result of the surgery before investing to 'high-quality-pricy' audio gear... . Some of those, living with hearing related ailment maybe gains more from properly adjusted balance and EQ -curve than what investing in HQ audio...

If AIMP is 32-bit software then maybe this thread is valid place to start from: https://www.aimp.ru/forum/index.php?topic=32820.0 KVR is good place to find VST EQ's : https://www.kvraudio.com/plugins/effects/windows/android/vst-plugins/eq/sort-by-name

Those devices marked as "Default ... " should go through WASAPI Shared.

ASIO and WASAPI Exclusive Mode bypasses APO layer ... so, just change to WASAPI Shared (or Direct Sound) to get it work with Foobar2k.

Your storage (hard drive or any other) has nothing to do with the issue. What operating system are you using? On FB2K side, you get the Preferences dialof opened by selecting File-->Preferences and device can be selected by selecting Playback-->Output. On operating system side, just open...
