Re: [digitalradio] DV Equalizer

Jose, 

Thanks for the tip. The VE3NEA Voice Shaper works well with FDMDV and has EQ, 
compression and a noise gate similar to the Romac software. 

I use VAC (virtual audio cable) to route the audio from Voice Shaper to FDMDV. 
I understand Jack ( http://jackaudio.org ) will do the same thing as VAC, but I 
haven't tried it. 

Thanks again Jose...

Tony,

I am using VE3NEA's Voice Shaper for SSB, with good results. I have not 
used it for DV. I am using a cheap earphone / mic combo, also a good 
performer.

I do not know the Romac EQ, and I doubt I'll try it if it is time limited.

73,

Jose, CO2JA

Take a look at the JACK audio server:

   http://jackaudio.org/

In particular the jackdmp version for Windows:

  http://www.grame.fr/~letz/jackdmp.html

There are various JACK-aware applications that can do EQ, and even
things like compression and filtering. A long list can be found here:

  http://jackaudio.org/applications

JAMin is pretty powerful, as is gAlan with the LADSPA plugins. Just
about all of the listed programs are Free Software and run on Linux, and
some may have been ported to Windows.

Never used Romac, but I'd be very surprised if there isn't at least one
Linux program with the same functionality. Asking a developer nicely may
be all you need to do to get a Windows version. Or maybe get the DV
ported to Linux instead? ;-)
