  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)`.
