Breakaway for Windows Systems improves the quality of the listening experience by digitally remastering audio in real-time with the same technology used by the pros in the music and broadcast business. Any media player playlist can sound like a professionally produced CD with automatic adjustment of volume dynamics and spectral balancing.

Breakaway for Windows System incorporates state-of-the-art 4, 5, 6, or 7 band dynamics processor (depending on selected preset) that examines and adjusts the audio thousands of times a second. Low levels are intelligently raised and loud signals are kept under control, all in real-time. Anything playing in the media player or web browser, including MP3s, Video, Internet radio, or CDs will be digitally remastered for consistent volume level and spectral balance. Files are not scanned or modified. All the audio processing takes place in real-time while the audio is sent to your speakers or headphones.

With Breakaway for Windows Systems there is no longer a need to purchase separate audio enhancement plug-ins for each of your media players. Breakaway for Windows System will enhance the audio for all Windows audio & video players. It provides audio processing for the complete computer system.

 
Multi-band dynamics processing restores spectral balance to your music library.

• Multiple look-ahead peak limiters provide distortion-free transient control.

• Makes tunes sound louder and punchier, while bringing out subtleties you never knew existed.

• Automatically adjusts volume dynamics and spectral balancing.

• Corrects song-to-song volume shifts and overdriven speakers.

• Same professional technology used by DJs, radio stations and webcasters.
