The EQ/Filtering/Compression/Anything in a rendered signal *is* the signal now and there is no way telling, what aspect of the signal is introduced by the filtering and what part is the pristine, "hifi original". You can make estimations based on common "standards" and try to reverse, what *you* dislike in the signal but you cannot effectively restore the signal before mastering. > > I haven't tried it... > no linux version though > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-user mailing list > Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user > _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
