Hi Majon!
My apologies – I accidentally deleted your post. Sorry about that – I’m just getting used to the forum, still have a few things to learn!
Majon322 said (approximately):
"I’m a previous DFX user, and found this site. What’s the catch?"
My answer is that, well, there is no catch!
It’s indeed a free download, and it will run unhindered for a 30 day trial period. After the trial period is over, it will only process audio for half an hour at a time (after which it will bypass itself, and tell you it did it), but once it has bypassed itself, you’re free to un-bypass to run for another half hour.
The half-hour timer only runs when you’re actually playing audio. So, if you’re (for example) writing your grad school thesis and not listening to music at the same time, you can do so all day long without breakaway ever bugging you.
Breakaway is as easy to uninstall as to install, so if after the 30 day trial period you decide it’s not worth the $29.95, you can always go back to DFX! Of course, your ears will never forgive you, but that’s another story 😉.

I will try it then, I’ve also purchased srs audio sandbox and use AC3 filter plugin occasionally. I enjoy experimenting with audio software since I have blown all my $$ on this spiffy set-up using Vista Ultimate with a SPDIF output to my home theater for dolby digital SS 7.1, gaming has never been so cool as when I yelled at my kids for making too much noise only too realize they weren’t home it was game characters in the background! LOL…. 😳
Excellent, let me know what you think!
I must warn you though – the current version of Breakaway does not support surround sound, it’s strictly a stereo implementation.
However, the Breakaway processing algorithm itself does support up to 7.1 surround.
Also, the current version, while it does work in Vista, is a compromise – it was really designed for XP.
There WILL be a version made specifically for Vista, and it will be a free upgrade for users of the previous version (as far as sales are concerned, it will be the same product — buy one and you get both of them), so feel free to play with and buy the current version. The Vista version will most likely support surround sound as well.
LOL about yelling at the kids 🙂. Surround sound can be extremely involving and exciting to listen to.
I don’t own a surround system at the moment – I sold my previous ones when I moved continents 8 months ago, but I might have to get one again for the Vista development.
A long term XP user, I’ve bought a new computer and I’m getting ready to switch to Vista Ultimate. Once I’m settled in, I’ll start work on the new version.

You moved continents? 😯 From where to where? I upgraded the minute I could get my grubby little hands on it! It was a chore in the beginning but now I look at my wife like she’s retarded when she can’t do what I can with vista, as she wont leave her home premium behind like it’s one of our kids, but I would never go back to XP.
From United States to Thailand!
I’m actually Swedish by birth. Lived in America for 8 years before I realized it was time to go somewhere else 😉.
Learning the language has been a challenge to say the least, but I’m getting there! Can say most anything I need to say, the hard part is understanding the reply, since everyone speaks so damn quickly and lazily, and use words I haven’t managed to learn yet.
I’ve gotta say, I love this country.

Where else can you have custom hard drive racks for a total of 21 drives made for $53? By the way, the $53 includes 30% tip above what the guy asked for!!!
XP has worked really well for me all these years. *Knock on wood* I’ve never had any problems with spyware and the like, maybe because I’m really careful with what I install, and if I have to test something unknown, I do it in a virtual machine (MS Virtual PC, or VMWare). Then again, I’m hardly the typical user, and as a software developer I can’t let myself get left behind for too long 😉.
By the way.. Boy, do I feel silly!
I thought I had deleted your original post by mistake. Turns out I didn’t. It wasn’t a post — it was a private message!! Oops 🙂///Leif
Thailand sounds like it would be fun. I have been away for awhile, got hardcore addicted to an online game and let all my mail pile up. lol… you should post some scenery pics for those of us who probably will never leave our respective countries. So far you’re the only person I have talked with outside the US. Tech support personel aside.
