Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] Rhythmbox Equalizer

You do realise that an "equalizer" is designed to counter the frequency
response of your audio setup (i.e. "equalize"), not to "MAKE THE BASS
SOUND PHAT PLZ"? :P

Personally I don't see the point of having something to do the latter.
Audio engineers put a hell of a lot of effort making music sound exactly
how they want it, and I trust their judgements on how the bass should
sound better than I trust my own (or anyone else's for that matter).

Still, if you're interested in writing a plugin, it's pretty trivial to
stick an EQ into the audio pipeline. In fact there might even already be
some code for it flying around.

Have fun!
