Seriously, this is the most amazing thing I have ever installed on my computer. I've been looking for something like this for years, but I have one problem with it:It devours system resources. Seriously, this thing will eat your CPU alive. If you can handle that, then this is your program.As for the nag screen: I'd like to think that the developers could have done without it. When you include nags it only degrades your consumers perception of your product.

Makes my speakers sound WAy betetr

Sounds great, installed very easily, and improves ALL audio in your computer, not only Winamp. I cant recommend it highly enough!

Very good plugin, i like very much, thank you!!!!

I was thoroughly surprised when I installed and listened to this in my hifi system (klipsch speakers, carver amp, apogee mini-dac). These guys actually seem to know what they're doing! With Reference Settings, it evened out volume levels really nicely, but without making it sound compressed. It also brought out details in the music and brought out a delicate warmth I have never noticed before, and yet never over-enhanced everything, it made it sound MORE natural, not less.. In fact, the feeling I got was "wow, this is how my music was supposed to sound all along" ...!

Made my computer crash when I tried to install it!

Firstly this is separate piece of software not a plugin. Also plugins dont usually have annoying prompts to purchase full versions.Aside from all that, it didn't work for me anyway.

I agree - the Windows plug in sounds fantastic. Just about the best sound conditioning I've heard. After installation, it can crash Winamp, though, until you configure Winamp's output to use the Breakaway pipeline.On the down side, for $30 you get one license for one hardware ID - and you should get at least two - many people have more than one computer (in my case desktop and laptop) - consumer-friendly companies recognize this now and give 2-3 licenses for their products.

Hands down the best audio processor I've ever heard.. Not just on the computer, but ANYWHERE.

an audio enhancer that WORKS, does exactly what they claim it does, and does it with style. worth every penny!
- Jethro Janham
Who knew that my cheap PC speakers could sound so good!?! Incredible product.
- Jun Terashima
This one is in a different league from all the wannabe DSP plugins out there, this is the real deal. Well worth the money for anyone who plays music on their computer. My computer is hooked up to my stereo system, and ever since I installed Breakaway it sounds fantastic.
- Bruno Park
Sound is truely hi-fi and very well mastered, bass boost is INSANE
- Miquel Jenner
So many "audio enhancers" CLAIM to do what this one is doing, but this one really does it, and does it well! All my music suddenly sounds like a professional mastering engineer mixed it. Nice work guys! Can't see being without this one. I LOVE the user interface too!

The best a man can get. If you don't like this plug-in, then I don't like you. It's that good...I send many thanks to Leif Claesson and anyone else that made this happen.
- Richard Owen
This is a good plugin. Directly I heard a difference in my music. It's pretty straight forward to use. I like that you can use it with Winamp closed. But to be honest I can acheive the same sound with the jammix DSP plugin if not better. Not to be bashing on this Plugin, it is great. I could be just being cheap and don't want to dish out 30 bucks on something I can do with something free. Sorry if you like it, just being honest.

Running the internet based radio station SLAY Radio, using sound sources ranging from professional studio recordings to very bad home recordings is really, really not something you would want to do without Breakaway.It has been nothing short of a life-saver.I also use it for pretty much anything with sound in it at home.Occationally people send me songs they want me to have a listen to for advice. Forgetting to turn off Breakaway usually renders the answer "This sounds fine!".

you liked octimax and volume logic, then breakaway is made for you because it is still better!!! Indeed, breakaway is made by leif claesson, it's him even which made octimax and logic volume what is a pledge of quality.The sound is very nice , better than omnia and orban, breakaway respect the sound without distortions.
- sebastien wittebolle
This one is worth PAYING for.There are so many junk plug-ins that color and distort the music to the point that you just get tired of listening. This one just plain works! The effects can be subtle for classical music or full blown for mind bending rock depending on your desire, but they are clean. If you've ever been on stage while a good band is playing THIS IS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE!Thank you Leif.

It even makes my laptop speakers sound respectable, what more can you ask?this definitely blows other audio processors out of the water, and it's about as full-featured as you could possibly want!
- Daniel Garlans
This is the best there is. Nothing else there is for Windows that's out there, even from the "leading" audio processing companies of Orban and Omnia, can touch this. In fact, this is on par with the $15,000+ flag-ship hardware from these companies, and the fact that the demo isn't more limited, and the price itself, just seems insane. You're insane Leif. :) I'm very happy just to have been able to help test this, and to have a preset in the software. I seriously un-installed all the audio processing on my daily computer, and Breakaway runs all the time. It just makes everything sound great, for real. And this is coming from me, a full-time purist mastering engineer listening on tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment designed to reveal with the highest scrutiny when something doesn't sound just right. Breakaway sounds great here, and so I know it'll sound great for you too. Did I mention these guys are insane for offering this so cheaply? Try the demo now to hear for yourself.
