The record

What it does: Easy Effects applies audio effects to applications managed by PipeWire, including application output and microphone audio sent to recording applications.
Effects: Available effects include equalizer, compressor, convolver, limiter, noise reduction, reverberation, pitch shift and stereo tools.
Effect ordering: Users can control the order of effects in the processing chain.
Per application processing: Users can process all input or output streams and exclude selected applications from that processing.
Audio sharing: Processed output audio can be made available through Easy Effects Source for recording and communication applications.
Presets: Effect configurations can be saved, imported, reused on another system, and set to autoload for selected input or output devices.
PipeWire information: The PipeWire tab reports PipeWire version, quantum values, sample rate, installed modules and loaded clients.
Platform requirement: Easy Effects version 6.0.0 and later supports the PipeWire audio server, and the project wiki says PipeWire must be installed to run it.
Installation: The project says most current Linux distributions package Easy Effects and also offers Flatpak installation.
Flatpak packaging: The project says its Flatpak package is sandboxed and includes all available plugins.
Plugin availability: Some distribution packages may omit plugin packages, so some effects may require separately installed dependencies.
License: Easy Effects is licensed under GNU General Public License version 3 or later.
Help and support: The application includes help pages, and the project links to an FAQ, wiki, changelog and bug reporting instructions.
Designed use: The project warns users to keep their hardware as the default audio device and not set Easy Effects virtual devices as the default input or output.
