% dtas-player_effects(7) dtas user manual =head1 NAME L effects overview =head1 DESCRIPTION Effects in dtas-player may be applied either at the source or the sink. They are applied in the order described. =over =item 1. source effects Source effects are effects which should be applied per-source and do not rely on inter-track information. Examples include: =over =item ReplayGain (simple gain changes) =item anything which does not change the length of the audio: gain, stereo, highpass, lowpass, loudness, bass, treble, equalizer, ... =back Modifying source effects should introduce no extra gaps in playback. Effects which modify the length of the audio is not recommended here, as seek functionality will be impaired. =item 2. sink effects Sink effects are any effects which: =over =item 1) should only be applied to a specific sink =item 2) effects which require inter-track information (multiband delays/compressors/expanders) =item 3) alter the length of the audio =back In a multi-zone audio system (where each zone has its own sink), sink effects may also customize the sound of a certain zone while not affecting others. Examples include: =over =item equalizer effects (highpass/bass/treble/equalizer) =item loudness =item delaying a certain channel or frequency range for time-alignment =item compressors/limiters =item reverb =item gain =item remix (for stereo image adjustments) =back Additionally, effects which are necessary due to the limitation of the playback hardware are applied at the sink: =over =item rate =item dither =item remix (static channel mappings) =back =back =head1 CONTACT All feedback welcome via plain-text mail to: L Mailing list archives available at L and L No subscription is necessary to post to the mailing list. =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2013-2016 all contributors L License: GPL-3.0+ L
