It was created by Steve Daulton and is released under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later. Using the EQ XML to TXT Converter, you can select a target EQ effect, choose an Equalization XML file, and determine whether to append a number or overwrite an existing text file. After the file is processed, the output will be displayed in a text file in the same directory as the Equalization XML file.

Advanced Description

This Audacity plugin, EQ XML to TXT Converter, converts equalization data stored in an XML file into a text file. This text file can then be used to apply the equalization data to another audio file. The plugin has three user interface controls that allow the user to select the type of equalization effect, select the XML file containing the equalization data, and decide how to handle any existing text files with the same name as the output file. The plugin reads the XML file line by line, extracting the frequency and value pairs and the curve name. It then writes the data to a text file, ensuring that no existing files are overwritten unless explicitly allowed. The text file is written in the format required by Audacity, which can be used to apply the equalization data to another audio file. The plugin is designed to be easy to use and understand. It is coded in the Nyquist programming language and can be used with Audacity to quickly and easily convert equalization data stored in an XML file into a text file.
