TabDSP: EQ + Dynamics nga John Kessler

TabDSP brings a professional audio-plugin workflow to every browser tab. It applies broadcast-quality DSP to the audio you hear — in real time — using the same algorithms found in high-end studio plugins.

Unlike simple "bass boost" add-ons, TabDSP gives you surgical EQ, transparent dynamics control, and ITU-compliant true-peak limiting. The kind of processing that separates amateur hour from broadcast-ready.

▶ FREE TIER — genuinely useful, not a trial demo:
• 8-band parametric Graphic EQ
• Real-time constant-Q spectrum analyzer
• Linear Phase mode (511-tap FIR, phase-coherent)
• Mid/Side processing
• RMS metering + input/output gain
No time limits, no ads. Many users will find it covers their needs entirely.

▶ UPGRADE (Enthusiast / Professional) to unlock:
• Single-band & multiband compression (Linkwitz-Riley crossovers)
• True Peak limiter — 4× oversampling, 15 compliance presets (EBU R128, Apple Music, Spotify…)
• LUFS metering (Momentary / Short-term / Integrated) + LUFS Stack: target validator, scrolling histogram, LRA
• Drag-and-drop module reordering with glitch-free 50 ms crossfades

▶ WHO IT'S FOR:
Podcast listeners taming inconsistent recordings · music enthusiasts restoring dynamics · livestream viewers fixing harsh audio · audio engineers referencing browser playback with real spectrum + LUFS metering · students learning DSP hands-on.

▶ WHAT TABDSP DOESN'T DO (we believe in transparency):
• Doesn't processes your microphone, calls, or recordings - only the audio you HEAR.
• On Firefox, DRM-protected streams (e.g. Netflix, Disney+) can't be processed due to browser API limits.
• Doesn't record, export, or permanently modify any audio.

▶ PRIVACY:
All audio processing happens locally in your browser via the Web Audio API. TabDSP never records, uploads, or transmits your audio, and collects no personal data or browsing history.
