I work with audio and I really like the app. I’ve been using it as a study tool and I have a few suggestions:

- The spectrum analyzer could be kept visible in the interface all the time because I like to compare the before and after. However, every time I turn it off, the analyzer disappears just when I want to restart the processing, and I end up clicking on something else in another open window.
- I’m bothered by the size of the app. I think besides the option to minimize, there could be a resizing option as well.
- Volume controls (input and output) would be very useful to avoid distortions.
- It would be great to have an option that equalizes the volumes, especially for comparing the before and after.

Good afternoon Luís,  
Those are all helpful ideas; thank you.  
There are currently plans to redesign the app layout, and I added your suggestions to the discussion.

> Hello. I recently bought the active speakers “Bose Companion 2 Serie III” and found them to sound muffled as their bass was too strong for my taste. Tried out your app and was delighted to finally have a useful equaliser especially since Windows 11 does not have one. Some things I humbly wanted to mention that I noticed: The power on/off button should not jump around so much: You turn off music and the display vanishes (what’s it called), changing the size of the app and the button’s position. …

FxSound is missing Title and do not have unique window info. I am talking about the windows-process which fx. can be viewed with the “AutoIt Windows Info”-program. That makes it hard to move the FxSound-window at startup. Please **add** a Title to the program/executable.

Here are some ideas to improve even further this useful app.

- A Volume slider in the GUI.
- The option to maintain a profile linked to an output.
- Making the EQ and the visualizer the same length.
- The option to change the GUI color with an slider.
- Manual Hz settings instead of slider.
- An option for “Loudness normalization” or “Audio Leveling” (great for watching movies where voices are too low).

@Shepard-N7 on making the EQ and visualizer the same length, I’m thinking we could move the preset and output device selection to fill the space that would be opened when aligning the visualizer with where the equalizer is now width-wise.

Hi @james,  
You mean something like this:

That is the layout that I’m hoping for. ❤❤❤

And best when coupled with an option of bar type visualizer, the one that found on old school Hi Fi. Imagine how nice it looks when aligned with the EQ below. Killer EQ app!

Well for me volume slider and such are secondary.

Why just ON / OFF for volume normalizer? It should be a slider like in Creative X-Fi panels. During night you can max it out so you can hear all details in movie soundtracks or games without waking neighbours up.

Include AutoEq or accept .txt type presets for 31 bands to adjust precisely.
