+## Features
+
+* Automatic bass boost
+ * Frequency-detecting bass-boost. Automatically sets its own parameters, such as gain, bandwidth, and cut-off frequency, by analyzing the incoming audio stream
+* Automatic dynamic range compressor
+ * A highly automated multiband dynamic range adjusting effect
+* Complex reverberation IIR network (Progenitor 2)
+* Interpolated FIR equalizer with flexible bands
+* Arbitrary response equalizer (also known as GraphicEQ from EqualizerAPO)
+ * AutoEQ database integration (requires network connection)
+* Partitioned convolver (Auto segmenting convolution)
+ * Supports mono, stereo, full/true stereo (LL, LR, RL, RR) impulse response
+* Crossfeed
+ * Realistic surround effects
+* Soundstage wideness
+ * A multiband stereo wideness controller
+* ViPER-DDC
+ * Perform parametric equalization on audio
+ * Create VDC input files using [thepbone/DDCToolbox](https://github.com/thepbone/DDCToolbox)
+* Analog modeling
+ * An aliasing-free even harmonic generator
+* Output limiter
+* **Scripting engine: Live programmable DSP**
+ * Write your own audio effects using the [EEL2 scripting language](https://github.com/james34602/EEL_CLI)
+ * Auto-generate a basic user interface for your script to modify specific parameters/constants without editing the actual code
+ * The scripting language has been extended using many DSP-related functions for easy access, for example, spectral processing, constant Q transform, multi-purpose FIR filter designer IIR sub-bands transformation, etc...
+ * **This app also includes a custom minimal scripting IDE**:
+ * Syntax highlighting
+ * Basic code completion
+ * Dynamic code outline window
+ * Console output support
+ * Detailed error messages with inline code highlighting
+
+
+## PipeWire vs PulseAudio
+
+**Designed for use with PipeWire. PulseAudio is only supported for backward compatibility.**
+
+PipeWire has a much lower latency compared to PulseAudio when injecting audio effects processors into the audio graph. Unfortunately, PipeWire is not yet completely stable and does not work correctly on virtual machines. If you cannot get any audio output when using PipeWire, consider switching to PulseAudio until proper hardware support is available.
+
+I'm currently not planning to add more advanced support for Pulseaudio clients. Features such as selective app exclusion, changing the target audio device, and similar features will only be available to PipeWire clients.
+
+*Important: This application can be either compiled with PulseAudio or PipeWire support. Please make sure you choose the correct flavor for your Linux setup before installing!*
+
+*Note: PipeWire's compatibility mode for PulseAudio apps does not work with the PulseAudio flavor of this app. Use the version for PipeWire instead.*
+
+### Which one am I using?
+
+Follow the instructions below if you don't know which one your Linux distribution is using. If you already know, skip to the 'Install dependencies' section.
+
+##### Step 1: Is PipeWire installed and active?
+
+Run `pw-cli dump short core` in your terminal.
+
+Does the terminal output look similar to the pattern below after executing the command?
+
+```
+0: u="USER" h="HOSTNAME" v="0.3.35" n="pipewire-0"
+```
+
+* **YES**: You're using PipeWire. Skip ahead, and follow the instructions to install JamesDSP with PipeWire support.
+
+* **NO**: If the command `pw-cli` is not found or it returned an error, you're probably not using PipeWire. Continue to step 2 to find out if PulseAudio is available on your system.
+
+##### Step 2: Is PulseAudio installed and active?
+
+Run `LC_ALL=C pactl info | grep "Server Name:"` in your terminal.
+
+Does the terminal output look like this after executing the command?
+
+```
+Server Name: pulseaudio
+```
+
+* **YES**: You're using PulseAudio. Skip ahead, and follow the instructions to install JamesDSP with PulseAudio support.
+
+* **NO**: If the command `pactl` is not found or it returned an error, either your PA installation is broken or you are using another audio framework like Jack. Consider switching to PipeWire in this case.
+
+**IMPORTANT:** If the output mentions PipeWire (`Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.35)`), you are using PulseAudio via PipeWire's compatibility mode. You need to install JamesDSP with PipeWire support in this case!
+
+## Installation
+
+**Decide whether you need to install the PipeWire or PulseAudio version of this app!**
+
+If you don't know which version fits your Linux setup, go to the [PipeWire vs PulseAudio section](#which-one-am-i-using) above.
