## What it is
Easy Effects is a Linux desktop application that applies audio effects (limiter, compressor, convolver, equalizer, autogain, noise reduction, and many more) to PipeWire application streams. It features a Qt/QML Kirigami interface and can process both output audio and microphone input.

## Use cases
- apply an equalizer to system audio on linux
- add bass boost and loudness effects to pipewire output
- reduce background noise from my microphone
- apply a compressor and limiter to audio streams
- cancel echo during calls on linux
- add reverb or stereo widening to music playback

## When to choose
- you run PipeWire (or legacy PulseAudio) on Linux and want per-application audio effects
- you need mic processing like noise removal or echo cancellation
- you want a GUI with a customizable effects chain

## When to avoid
- you are on Windows or macOS
- you need headless or CLI-only audio processing
- your system uses ALSA or JACK without PipeWire
