No more sacrificing your focus.

Gaming while listening to music has never been this enjoyable. With Music Butler, you can now control the volume of your music player with the press of a single button.

Only $4.99

Music Butler is a software application made for PC gamers who face the age-old dilemma of having to choose between listening to music and hearing their game properly. It lets you increase and decrease your music volume seamlessly, without having to interrupt your gaming flow or lose your focus.

Alternate between two volume settings.

Set a maximum volume for when you want to hear the music, and a minimum volume for when you need to focus on the game. All that is left to do is pressing your hotkey to instantly switch between high and low.

Works with any music player.

If your music player of choice isn't one of the three popular options, simply select the "Other" option and type in the process name of the software playing your music.

Choose any hotkey.

Music Butler allows you to choose any single keyboard or mouse button that you find the most convenient to use as a volume switch for your music.

Let it run in the background.

The program stays out of your way after the application window has been closed, and can be accessed from the system tray at any time.

About

My name is Tim. I’m a software developer and video game enthusiast. For as long as I can remember, I have always enjoyed listening to music while playing games, but that would inevitably lead to me neglecting in-game audio and having to take the game less seriously as a result. Eventually, I decided to create a program that would give me some control over my PC's volume settings and, after a few dozen iterations, Music Butler was born.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work?

1) Choose the music player option that suits you, or select "Other" and type the full process name of the program you wish to control the volume of (e.g. "firefox.exe").

2) Set a minimum percentage for how low you want the music volume to be when you need to focus on the game.

3) Set a maximum percentage for how high you want the music volume to be the rest of the time.

4) Choose a single keyboard or mouse button as your hotkey and turn on the switch when you're ready to use the program.

5) Press your hotkey to alternate between low and high volume settings whenever you need. Don't forget to tweak the volume settings to find the perfect balance between enjoying your music and getting the most out of your game.

Will it interfere with my gaming?

No. Music Butler has been optimized to get rid of any input lag and other issues that might slow down your game. No matter how often you switch between volume levels, the transition will always feel seamless and instantaneous.

Can I run it on my PC?

This app requires about 90 MB of RAM to run and is only compatible with Windows. So, any decent PC should be able to handle it without problems.

Is it only useful when listening to music?

Music Butler can be useful in any situation where you find yourself multitasking and having to deal with more than one audio source. Whether you're in a Discord voice call, watching a Twitch stream or attending an online class on Zoom, you can use this app to control the volume of any running process on your computer.

Why does my antivirus flag it as malware?

It's a false positive flag.

Sometimes, antiviruses (and in some cases browsers) can decide to flag software from unknown publishers as malware for various reasons. In this case, Music Butler might be detected as a keylogger because it listens to user inputs to detect hotkey presses. It goes without saying that this application does NOT collect or log any user input data, let alone use it maliciously.

As an independant developer, I do not have the reputation of a well established company to be able to bypass these warnings. Even paying yearly for an overpriced software certification would not guarantee that an antivirus won't falsely flag my app. I can give you my word, but it is ultimately up to you to trust it.

What can I do if my antivirus blocks it?

If your antivirus prevents you from installing or running the app, you can simply add an exclusion for it. Most Windows users can do so in their Windows Security settings by following the steps shown on the Microsoft Support website. If you're using a different antivirus software, you can check their website for specific instructions.
