Jerome Mabbayad (beastfighter1) (ID: 000000c536297fab) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/01/2023 This is now essential to my YouTube viewing experience now! It's especially useful on streams where there's unbalanced Discord audio. It brings everyone up to a more equal volume helping me understand what they're saying. Thanks so much for this!

Knackered Ocelot (ID: 0000005a0760827e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/26/2023 Works exactly like the compressor I was using on twitch. I use an audio interface which isn't compatible with windows' device properties volume limiter so this is so helpful ^^

Ömer Aydın (ID: 0000009c228c7f62) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/23/2023 It doesn't work at all. I installed this to prevent loud dialogues and musical inserts in talk shows where levels are unbalanced. It did not work. I doubt it's a compressor. Could be a pseudo app to collect data because it doesn't have a compressor GUI. You need knobs and sliders to adjust thresholds and ratios. It's like a car without a steering wheel.

Fabio Seminario (ID: 000000c29b365848) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/20/2023 Works okay. Would be nice to have some options for the extension like being able to disable the 'V' hotkey.
