this userscript is a heavily customized fork of [Vivelin's original userscript](https://gist.github.com/Vivelin/2321d17bf26016ceaed87d6d1a281881)

and integrates [a limiter written by Wareya](https://github.com/wareya/LimiterTest) that i've ported to JavaScript.

## usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
click on the gear symbol near the bottom right of YouTube's video player to access these features:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Level Boost
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
this adds +10 decibels of gain to the audio, as well as a brickwall limiter to reduce unwanted distortion (clipping).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
this works in conjunction with YouTube's volume slider, so if +10 dB is a little too much, simply turn the volume down.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Compressor
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
in terms of volume, this squeezes the quiet and loud parts closer together to allow for a more uniform listening experience.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
this compressor has been tuned to be less responsive to bass and treble frequencies, which helps to reduce "pumping" artifacts.
|
||
|
|
note that the level boost feeds into the compressor, so the amount of compression somewhat increases with both features enabled.
