Well maybe I'm the only one in this situation - I always knew I was one of a kind. But I didn't like walking away from my desk while a soft song from 1973 was playing at an acceptable level and coming back a minute later to Arena or something loud and newish blaring through my speakers and dirty looks from everyone else in the room. There are 7 people in this room (we're packt like sardines...)

And TomSteady sounds fine to me... But so you don't think I have ears of tin, let me explain that I tend to listen at a pretty low volume and so subtle changes are lost on me here at work. It just needs to be loud enough so that I can hear it and it drowns out the country music being played ad nauseum on the radio, and the occasional death metal playing softly from the guy directly behind me.

(Who listens to death metal at low volumes?)

So the purpose is mostly to override the other auditory signals that are constantly bombarding me. A white noise generator would work but prog is more fun.

I can't do requests here at work (because apparently audiorealm is in the "games" category and is filtered out) so I can't hear how Supper's Ready is affected, but King Crimson's "The Talking Drum" just played. As you know, that song is basically one long crescendo. Through TomSteady, it did crescendo, but it was just less pronounced. The difference - without adjusting my volume, i was able to actually hear the first 3 minutes of it.

So it's cool by me for this situation - if I were at home(or an office of my own), I wouldn't use it. I'm just glad that with this plugin and stuff, I have the option.
