Breakaway is a piece of software that takes all audio heading to your soundcard and processes the dynamic range with up to seven bands of compressors based on presets and some simple controls. It is mostly useful for smoothing out uneven volume levels between songs from different albums and improving audibility of quieter portions of music by boosting the volume. It's similar to what radio stations use to give a consistent sound across songs. It works like the volume leveler in Hijack only much better!

After having a listen, is anyone possibly interest in a hardware version of this?

Let me know,
