I have an audio file which doesn't sound good when played as-is, but when I use the “pop” equalizer preset in VLC, it sounds good. Hence I would like to create a new audio file with the equalizing effect “baked in”, so that it sounds good if someone else plays it as-is.
I found this question How to use equalizer on ffmpeg but it says to give the appropriate input to the ffmpeg equalizer filter. Then I did my homework and found the “pop” preset settings that VLC uses. However due to insufficient technical knowledge I have no idea how to input this to the ffmpeg equalizer filter.
Further, this question VLC: Apply an equalizer as part of the trascoding chain from the command line seems to indicate that VLC itself can do the task of creating the new file, but I may be mistaken again due to insufficient knowledge, and I'm not sure how to adapt it to my requirement.
My question: how can I apply the VLC presets linked above to my audio file and create a new one, whether with ffmpeg or VLC (or some other freely available tool that works on Linux)?
Thanks!
