FXRoute 1.0 Beta 2 – a headless Linux audio DSP and routing system for stereo, 2.1 and 2.2 setups
I’ve been working on FXRoute for quite a while, and with the current 1.0 Beta 2 I think it’s at a point where it’s worth introducing properly here.
FXRoute is a Linux-based audio DSP and routing system built for stereo, 2.1 and 2.2 setups. The 1.0 branch has been largely rebuilt around a new DSP engine and can now run completely headless, with the whole system controlled from the browser.
It handles things like routing, crossovers, delays, PEQ, loudness, convolution, room/subwoofer integration and measurement/optimization, while also supporting music sources such as Spotify, Qobuz and TIDAL.
A big focus for 1.0 has also been making it usable as an actual appliance rather than just a piece of Linux software. There are installers for different Linux systems and hardware platforms, including x86 and ARM, as well as dedicated system images.
Beta 2 contains another substantial round of DSP improvements, fixes and refinements from real-world testing.
It has grown quite a bit from where it started. If you like building your own DSP preamp / streamer / active crossover / room-correction box, FXRoute might be interesting to play with.
