+title: EasyEffects configuration
+excerpt:
+  I like EasyEffects to have autogain and limiter while I also wish to remember
+  how to use mono audio for when one ear is plugged or something.

+## Global autostart
+
+`/etc/xdg/autostart/com.github.wwmm.easyeffects.desktop`
+
+```desktop
+# This became just copy-paste from easyeffect's own autostart desktop entry
+[Desktop Entry]
+Type=Application
+Name=com.github.wwmm.easyeffects
+X-XDP-Autostart=com.github.wwmm.easyeffects
+Exec=flatpak run --command=easyeffects com.github.wwmm.easyeffects --service-mode --hide-window
+X-Flatpak=com.github.wwmm.easyeffects
+```
+
+## Effects
+
+In the Effects tab of Effects tab (top and bottom),
+
+Add effect
+
+- Autogain
+- Limiter
+
+Based on my experience without additional configuration this will make using
+YouTube Music more pleasant and not require touching volume buttons constantly.
+
+### Mono audio
+
+Add effect `Stereo Tools`, under `Stereo Matrix` set `Mode` to
+`LR > L+R (Mono Sum L+R)`.
