    Hi, thanks so much for your work! 😆
    Fascinated for multiband compressor limitor for 10 years, informatics let societies develop their own project, plug-in and today we have the choice.
    I think I tried almost every plug-in for multibanding compressing and limiting!
    I use today winamp with two different programs to get the sound I want: Waves arts multidynamics 5 coupling to volumelogic.
    I found your program couple of days ago and I think IT IS THE PROGRAM I was searching for 😉
    Thank you so much for your job!
    Just have two question: Which is the cute-off separation between bands (12 or 30 Db)? I guess It’s 12, right?
    Which are the frequencies cut-off? (for the mulidynamics control)
    2 wisches: Could you make a 30 Db separation please 😳
    Would It be possible one day to change our own cut-off frequencies?
    I’m Looking for a "sound like" FM radio on my computer via Winamp and this is my passion.
    For me the best cut-off frequencies are: 20 to 80/150/420/700/1.6/3.7/6.2/10 to 20 for exemple with 30 Db attenuation between each.
    Thanks for reading me and really a BIG "BRAVO" from France for your work!

    You’ll send a lot, this is sure 😉
    Sorry for my poor English, I’m just French 🙄

    Bon jour, Gillan!

    The crossovers are 12 dB per octave.

    The frequency ranges are (for 6-band presets):

    0-36,
    50-145,
    170-500,
    600-1800,
    2100-6200,
    8200-22000.

    You can see that there are gaps between the frequency bands, however, when downmixed, they sum to flat within 0.25dB.

    30dB separation will never be in Breakaway, because it doesn’t sound good. Using too narrow crossovers means you have to start using inter-band coupling to control the strange frequency boost/cuts that would happen, and coupling causes other severe side effects that are impossible to tweak around.

    The current version of Breakaway is not at all suited for FM, because it does neither pre-emphasis, nor absolute band / peak limiting. However, HDFM, which will be released this year, does all this, and it’s by far the cleanest sounding on the market – near CD quality on standard analog FM stereo.

    If you want to just "sound" like FM radio, try the Radio Magic preset 😉. If this preset emulates FM *too* well for your taste (i.e. over-processed, just like most FM stations), try setting Speed lower – it really opens up the sound of that preset.

    Stay tuned 🙂.
