CamillaEQ the finest parametric equalizer for camillaDSP

[alfred_j_kwack]

Hi all,

I"d like to introduce CamillaEQ, a browser-based equalizer and pipeline editor for CamillaDSP.. It's is a web UI that gives you direct, visual control over your CamillaDSP audio pipeline. Drag EQ tokens, set BW/Q values, change the filter types and tune your sound with immediate feedback.

Full disclosure: I'm not an audio engineer. I just wanted better sound for my daily work calls. My laptop doesn't allow installing applications, and I'm on Zoom for hours every day. My microphone and room acoustics weren't great, and I couldn't fix it in software on the laptop itself. The solution was simple: insert an EQ between the microphone and the laptop. CamillaDSP became the audio engine, running on a tiny Orange Pi Zero 2W. I needed a way to control it—something visual, responsive, and accessible from a browser.

So I built CamillaEQ: a UI focused on clarity, direct manipulation, and immediate feedback. CamillaEQ was inspired by CamillaNode and the work of its author IAtaman. CamillaNode proved what was possible with a browser-based CamillaDSP interface. I just took it a few steps further.

What makes CamillaEQ stand apart:

• Like CamillaNode it sports a spectrum analyzer, WIthin CamillaEQ it's integrated into the EQ plot and offers 3 different curve types as well as different calculation means for curve smoothing.
• In CamillaEQ you can mute/bypass a single filter at a time. For those who know CamillaDSP that might be a bit of a surprise since you should only be able to bypass entire pipeline steps, not single filters within a step.
• For basic usage there's no need to install anything.. you can run it right now from your browser and connect to CamilaDSP's websocket port.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words...

There's a hosted demo at camillaeq.his.house/#/connect

• Click Connect to play with a simulated CamillaDSP (includes spectrum analyzer)
• Or enter your own CamillaDSP host (e.g., localhost) and control port (usually 1234)

If you don't have a spectrum service set up on your DSP, you'll be in degraded mode—EQ editing works, but no spectrum overlay. See tools/README.md if you want to add spectrum to your own setup.

I lok forward to hearing what you think.

@staticV3, Was that a question for me or tineared? Anything I can help clarify other than: This is not commercial software, not an ad, just something I wrote in my spare time and put out as open source software in the hope it's of use to someone as either inspiration (like CamillaNode was to me) or as a tool to manage their DSP pipeline.

My bad. Great first post...

I'm still working on a few things in the background.

Here's my Feature backlog as it stands now:

• Ability to import Room EQ Wizard (REW) parametric EQ: I'm thinking at least anything that is a biquad filter which hopefully covers 80% of the need.
• AutoEq library directly available in the canned filter listing: I only have a small subset of the 6000+ headphones at the moment.
• The ability to hear the effect of editing a single filter by muting all other filters during the edit.
• A spectrogram heatmap: That should complement the spectrum analyzer and move the short- and long-term-average features to the right place. I'm no audio engineer remember, so putting those things in the wrong place is par for the course.
• Finalize implementation of Pre-/Post-EQ spectrum analyzer: it's currently not wired up to the back-end, you can't switch back and forth.

If anyone on this forum wants to lend a hand in defining the next set of features I should put in, do let me know.

That interface looks sharp, I love it!

Originally, the first reply to your thread (now deleted by a moderator it seems like) read "reported", which I answered with a question mark since I saw nothing worth reporting in your post
