# My Equalizer APO configuration This is my (2023) [[Equalizer APO]] configuration on Windows. See also [[My Voice processing pipeline on Windows]] for more context. ## Overview The goal of this configuration is to clean my voice as much as possible, applying compression, expansion, equalization, etc to my voice. Note that prior to this, my voice goes through [[NVIDIA Broadcast]]. More details here: [[My Voice processing pipeline on Windows]] Main screen with the sound processing pipeline: ![[My Equalizer APO configuration - overview.png]] ## Input and output configuration Install and enable APO for the correct recording device (Microphone): ![[My Equalizer APO configuration - APO driver.png]] Also enable for the CABLE Input (where we will send the result): ![[My Equalizer APO configuration - APO config for cable input.png]] ## Audio processing pipeline ### Input H5 NVIDIA RTX Voice. ### ReaEQ: Equalitzation step Low Pass filter: ![[My Equalizer APO configuration - low pass filter.png]] High Pass filter: ![[My Equalizer APO configuration - high pass filter.png]] ![[My Equalizer APO configuration - high pass filter 2.png]] ### ReaFir: Noise cancelling To create the noise cancelling profile, you can use OBS, then import it in Equalizer APO.
