This used to work amazing, now it's just okay. Now it's conflicting with some sort of compression within my phone. There was once a way to disable that so the equalizer would have its full power, but I can't find those instructions anywhere now. The bass now gets compressed as you turn it up, and it didn't used to do that once I got the settings right on my phone (or maybe it was even in the player). That pretty much makes this like any other second-rate equalizer on the Play store.

Had massive success for years with this app but I just switched to a pixel 9 pro XL and now there is at least one totally app ruining glitch which is that my phone will blast audio at 100% sometimes even if the actual volume setting is turned the whole way to zero. I verified this is coming from poweramp by adjusting the master gain setting in poweramp and can hear the change in volume while it is blasting, again even while my volume rocker setting is at zero.

Hey Max, I got a suggestion. Make the compressor unlinked to stereo mode and make it the way that there are two separate compressors for left and right channels, so when abnormal attack:release ratio is applied it won't cause phase cancellation. Because I've noticed that when supersonic frequencies are EQed it sounds like the beat is reversed, and after digging up the info a bit I've learned that the matter listed above is the reason for the issue. The rest is flawless, I freaking love the app
