Sound

The ten-band equalizer, speed and pitch, fades, ReplayGain and a visualizer that listens.

Equalizer

Press e. Ten bands from 31 Hz to 16 kHz, thirteen presets, a preamp that keeps the loudness even, and a limiter so nothing clips.

The equalizer on its Jazz preset

Key Does
← → choose a band
↑ ↓ raise, lower it
[ ] previous, next preset
enter all the presets
z flatten
b bypass, to compare

The mouse works too: drag a fader, or scroll over it.

Speed and pitch, apart

. and , change the speed (0.5 to 2×) without changing the pitch; k and j change the pitch (±12 semitones) without changing the speed. z puts both back. Useful to learn a part, or for a podcast.

Volume

+ and -, m to mute. Click the ◂) chip in the player bar for a slider. The volume goes up to 150 % for quiet recordings.

Fades and ReplayGain

Under [player] in config.toml, or in the settings (O):

[player]
fade = true                 # a short fade on pause, stop and skip
replaygain = "album"        # off, track or album

ReplayGain evens out loudness between albums using the tags most rippers already write.

Visualizer

The player tab (W) draws the actual audio, measured fifty times a second — not an animation that pretends.
