[quote author=”Leif”]I just ordered a Powermate. Once it arrives, I’ll make sure there’s a way to use it with Breakaway 🙂. This might mean hotkey support.

Hi Leif, any news on this maybe? Unfortunately Powermate does not seem to be able to alter BAE’s volume control, as it can only manage the ‘System Volume’ which is of course defunct while having BAE installed. Hotkey support seems to be the way to go on W7 x64…
Cheers,
PeterHi Leif,
I downloaded the RC4, using it for around 30 mins and it started to pop the "License issue" dialog, and puts itself into Bypass every 30 min or so — however I already purchased v1.01. The license worked fine in 1.01, and 1.02 RC2 that I also DLd and used for a few days before the RC4.
When I try to re-register using the code I got from you for v1.01, I get an ‘Invalid License key’ message in a tooltip bubble.
FYI, I did not change any HW component of this computer (a laptop).
Regards,
PeterThanks for the links! I uploaded this vinyl collection here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?jlgj0223c19Nevertheless I spent some additional time investigating the issue and collected a few other MP3s just to see what could be triggering it. I found some files from a completely different genre (Linkin Park) but it shows that the ‘thing’ is not relevant to old, vinyl based, scratchy, etc. sounds. I assume the post-processing on these LP tracks are also way different. Just copied one of these tracks to here as well FYI:
http://www.mediafire.com/?monx2dm9nxhI don’t seem to find any commonality in the MP3 parameters of these two files… could this be the way these MP3 were ripped?

PeterLeif, knightrider,
appreciate your efforts!
I was about to send you one file that seem to produce the issue every single time… however it is a 30+ MB vinyl compilation from podOmatic. I intended to cut ~1 min out of the beginning, but interestingly enough this short piece does not show the issue.
So, how do you think I can send you the 30MB file? I am not sure I can do that from my gmail account. Any free file pusher service you fancy?

Thanks knightrider, JesseG!
I did apply quite a bit of gain (+10dB, it is now 95dB & clipping a bit) to this particular MP3 with MP3gain, to not much avail.
I am following the Breakaway recommendations to turn all sound generating apps’ volume level to max, and am using Breakaway’s ‘knob’ to drive the volume all the time. I assume the outcome of this configuration is that changing the volume on the sound apps does not make any difference as Breakaway continuously adapts the sound it produces to the changing (decreasing volume) input.
This works OK for 99% of my files, but not all! Some of these files (one of which I added a significant gain now to no avail) will enable WinAmp’s volume slider to make a difference… it is more of a question than a problem report, really. I assume that with the gain added we can put the ‘low volume = no processing’ idea aside?
So what am I observing here? Is there any analysis done on the input stream the outcome of which could defeat the whole processing? Why am I seeing this only on some files?
Many thanks,
Peter
