Hi,
Many musics ends with fade out. I want to keep it.
What settings can I use?
Carlos.
I’m assuming that you want to keep the fade instead of having Breakaway gain up the fade. If so, you can slow down the gain up by reducing the speed setting. Try that out and see if it suits your needs. Some of the presets respond faster than others, so you can change your preset if needed.
I wouldn’t recommend turning down speed, since it completely changes the sound. Leave it where it is.
Range is the control to turn down if you want to keep fadeouts.
However, please note that volume normalization and keeping fadeouts intact are directly conflicting goals! In gaining one, you lose the other. Experiment for best results. 🙂

Thanks,
I’ll try to turn down the Range control.

Hi Leif
How does reducing the Range Control to keep fadeouts compare with use of the pipeline config program you uploaded so that Demodave could retain the fade outs on his karaoke program? Which method is preferable?
Hi Johnny!
They’re two completely different issues.
Cnbau said: "Many songs end with a fade-out", indicating that it’s the natural fade-out of songs he wants to keep. Breakaway does undo this — since it’s a volume-levelling dynamics processor, it’ll keep turning the volume up (to counteract the fadeout), by the set speed, until it runs out of range. There is also a control that sets how much power it has over the dynamics.
Demodave, on the other hand, noticed a problem with "artificial" fadeouts created by his Karaoke program adjusting the pipeline volume downwards. By default, the pipeline is set to ignore such volume commands and run full blast at all times, so this would completely remove the fadeout.
However, once Demodave has enabled the pipeline volume control, he may still run into the same problem that Cnbau did, and in that case he’d have to turn down the Range control a bit as well.
It’s a tradeoff — too little range means that it won’t be able to normalize songs that are too quiet. Too much range means it will normalize things that were supposed to be quiet. 😉
