Louderbox

Louderbox is a feature-rich 8 band audio processor that comes in handy with software stereo and R[B]DS generators. Although it is primarily designed for these applications, you can also use it for other purposes, such as web radio. The software requires the use of the jack audio connection kit under Linux, and possibly other systems (although this has not been tested).

With 2 inputs and 5 outputs, Louderbox delivers outstanding audio processing quality. The inputs consist of the L and R channels, while the outputs include 2 monitor outputs (before pre-emphasis), 2 transmitter feed outputs (after pre-emphasis), and a mono logging output that mixes the monitor feeds.

To run Louderbox smoothly, you will need to ensure that certain requirements are met. These include the jack audio connection kit, the LADSPA audio plugin API, Steve Harrises excellent plugin collection version 0.4.7 or later, Tom Szilagyis excellent LADSPA plugin collection, Libglade version 2, and the GTK toolkit version 2 or later. You can easily download most of these requirements (excluding the plugin collections) from your distributions packaging system, which is usually called things like gtk2-dev.rpm or the like.

However, some of these requirements may have many dependencies that you should look out for. Keep in mind that the plugin Library's (and Jack) change first, and they are worth building from source to ensure optimal performance. All in all, Louderbox delivers premium audio processing capabilities that will take your audio production to the next level.
