Is it a virus?

May. 18th, 2009

I use NOD32 Antivirus and when I try to download this stuff it tells me that it is a Themida application.What the hell is this? I want to use this program because I see it has some very good comments but....? Can anyone tell me?I tried to download it from the manufacturer`s site and I still had the same message.

Nice Interface, but...

Jul. 13th, 2008

#1: Sorry, this is NOT a plug in.#2: It installs as a separate piece of software, with nags.#3: It was gutless. Cut my sound by 50%, lost 2 speakers from my 5.1, and the slider action to make adjustments needs ALOT of work.Please, if you are going to offer items that are NOT plug-ins, you need another category to put them in.I prefer my sound goodies to ACTUALLY be in with my sound player.#4: For what this is, it caused my cpu usage to take a MAJOR jump..leads me to believe that there is alot of unnecessary code with this. When I looked at my task slaver, it showed at least 2 instances of this running, and both were needed for proper operation. This was a bomb...do not bother.

Enhanced my sound very much......BUT

When I tried to uninstall it all sound in winamp stopped working..........sound everywhere else worked just fine though.

Not Bad, NOT the best by far!

Apr. 30th, 2008

Don't get me wrong, this is a nice tool.The way the setup a sound driver that directs to the sound card is genius! (Pretty much they make it work with 99% of apps without much trouble)But I will say, ffdshow has more control by far, including hardware processing optimizations. ffdshow can handle 32-bit 192KHz audio streams, I have yet to find a consumer sound card that even supports that high of fidelity, most cap at 24-bit 192KHz.I currently use ATSurround to output my audio as a DTS stream via optical, ffdshow to process my input, and the 250 Band EQ by Nevi as a DSP. This configuration gives me complete control over stereo to surround upconversion, along with numerous enhancers.I can tell you know my sound card isnt much, but it is being maxed out as much as I've found possible without creating audio distortion.Any questions, contact me:s_k_h_a_m_e_n_e_h_@_g_m_a_i_l_._c_o_m(remove the underscores)

Masterpiece!

Apr. 28th, 2008

This thing sounds incredible out of the box. I'm a mobile DJ, and different recording levels has been the bane of my existence for as long as I've been doing this.No more! Breakaway is a HUGE improvement to the sound quality of my setup. Thanks guys, good work!

Big Improvement

Apr. 28th, 2008

I've used Volume Logic before, and thought it was excellent, but Breakaway is in a different league. It evens out the levels at least as well as VL did, but also keeps the "punch" of the music -- it doesn't sound like anything the music is being compressed, if anything it things get MORE dynamic.The bass-boost is INSANE too - I'm loving it!
- Rick Steiner

EXCELLENCE!

Apr. 28th, 2008

This is by far the best, smoothest, most customizable, most intuitive and easy to use mixer. Even the many presets are so good at turning the most subpar staticky live track into a crystal clear CD quality version. Also, under custom settings mode, you can set anything from buffer size, to freq. range, to toggling on or off great features like the auto-sync that is spot-on in keeping the media player and the Breakaway outputs in total sync.You can boost the bass massively, even compensate for small speakers with a "bass shape" level to add punch to your music with no true subwoofer. It docks nicely, has a quick bypass toggle if you want to .. let's say a movie player use its own output settings after you've used Breakaway for mp3s.You can fix low volume live/studio/underground recordings with higher Range and less Power to eliminate background noise.Best of all, the presets are perfect. One click can make your NWA or Tonedeff rap tracks boom with bass and retain crisp lyrics - Then flick it to another setting to bring out each and every note of a ska or thrash metal song with clarity.I personally had a track from Eminem, a rare recording of the Rap Olympics battles he did..WOW. Originally it was tinny, drowned in crowd noise and bad recording. I set Breakaway to Magnifying Glass preset and it came out like a CD mastered track! I am in love with this plugin and it is WELL WORTH the fee!Best Hands Down.-SeifPS - Great for troubleshooting/fixing audio errors with driver changes (such as RealTek) that mangle your audio for games music and everything else. One click and Breakaway will automatically override managers like RealTekHD and let you bring wonderful quality sound to your system. (Hell I'm running on a 2 front satellite/1 subwoofer setup left over from a 7 speaker Klipsch 5.1 system from 1997! It sounds better then when I first bought it! Missing 4 speakers and all!)

Didn't work for me

Apr. 23rd, 2008

After reading all of the glowing reviews, I tried it. D/L the Windows program direct from the developer's site, installed it, and fired it up with some music, playing through first Winamp, then using another music playback program. with my system, whichis an audiophile sound card and high quality Hi-fi stereo components, and settings of 0 for both range and power (to eliminate any compression or equalization) and listening to classical music compressed with Mp3, I could not tell any difference in sound between this program being on, or bypassed. Then I switched back to my favorite DSP, which is Izotope Ozone, and the difference was dramatic. Ozone works for me. Breakaway does not. It may work well for others with different systems or setups though.
