Trouble with easyeffects (jlai.lu)

Hey people ! How do you do ? I am posting because in recent time I had troubles with easyeffects. The UI is buggy such as frequent crash when adding effects, it's impossible to save any preset and the input fields are buggy (I also can't type anything in them). Am I the only one or is it more spread ? (I installed via pacman and have trouble on tumbleweed too but less)

Edit: It appears that only some input fields on some modules (like frequency settings for the filter module or the bass enhancer) are buggy and it is a pain in the ass to setup the frequency from text files as once I save them they disappear from easyeffects. I tried easyeffects 7.2.0, flatpak but still buggy. I guess I will wait for the qt rewrite and hope that those bugs are only from the UI

I install it from the aur via paru, everything works flawlessly for me

Still not working. Maybe I'll ping you once the qt rewrite is done

I have not seen any problems (installed via pacman). However, I only use the EQ, and save presets for different speakers/headphones. I have not tried installing any other effects. Also, there was a new release just today (7.2.0-1) that might help.

My goal is to follow this guide from easyeffects creator which is without equalizer but I can't even use any preset... I guess I'll try updating or installing from aur according to @ColdWater@lemmy.ca's comment

For what it's worth... It works a lot better for me as a flatpak... I couldn't even get it to open installing otherwise

[-] mat@jlai.lu 1 points 20 hours ago

I guess I'll try with flatpack

Nope, it's not just you. EasyEffects' UI is very buggy and unintuitive. If you have some will to tinker around, you could set up Carla with your chosen VST, VST3 etc. effects. You can also use Yabridge to translate Windows VST effects with Wine, this way you could use ex. FabFilter's (somewhat expensive and proprietary) plugins in Carla.

I guess I find it intuitive enough but for the bugs I fill them and it is strange because I remember a few years ago it was working flawlessly. For now I used jamesdsp but I like the effect pallet of easyeffect
