minus-squareterminhell@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 months agoI’ve always wanted to try putting something like a guitar compressor pedal in the audio chain just to normalize the peaks.

minus-squareterminhell@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 months agoI have a much simpler setup though. Just a ‘smart’ TV and a sound bar I paid about $200 for so nothing fancy. Not actually looking for advice, just a thought experiment of quick, easy and cheap fixes.
