There are several releases of BA1 which are in various stages of beta testing, but they are NOT the official release.
None of these should be in the wild, but these things happen for various legal and illegal reasons. The official release is the one available on the sales site, and it will remain that way until a later beta is formally approved.Sadly, Keith passed suddenly late last year. However, his son, John, has moved into the chair and is getting on top of the backlog. If you send your query to support@claessonedwards.com, he should respond quickly.
OK, so to confirm. If you open VAC, you can see audio moving the “level” bars? In BA1, as input, you have one of the VAC pipelines (the one where you can see audio)? Is there anything unusual about the sample rate or anything else which might cause conflict?
I wonder if the problem is VAC? As you know, VAC actually captures the audio and hands it on to BA1. You should have the VAC interface program bundled in BA1, so open that ups and see if you can see the levels jumping in there.
Great sleuth work, Mwyann! I passed on your previous comments, and will alert Leif to your new findings. I’m guessing that Leif sends parameters to the VAC interface, and may have to tweak those a little to optimise performance.
I am intrested in your comments on latency, where you quote a value of “30-40% latency” as acceptable. Technically, the jitter value represents discarded frames, or “retries” and it should be as low as possible in theory. The BAE wizard simply asks the installer to increase or decrease buffers based on whether “glitches” can be heard. However, if you run the “Test” option after installation, it shows the jitter value and you can fine tune the number and size of buffers to reduce the jitter value.
Now, I get it that small buffers means less latency, but, to reduce the jitter value, you may have to increase the buffer size. The trade off is that, with very small buffers, you may have so many discarded frames that it actually takes longer to process a buffer full, with retries.Out of interest, I achieve 11% jitter both in and out with buffer size which is a multiple of the sample rate.
Thankyou Mwyann for your feedback. As I pointed out, this is a BETA version, and I will ensure that Leif gets these comments so that they can be addressed.
There has been a new BETA release of BAE – version 1.42.0, which addresses a couple of minor bugs picked up by the testers. There is also a minor update to VAC 4.31 which is now correctly signed. Here’s the link to a dropbox.

Download ONLY version 1.42.0 and VAC 4.31. If you do not uninstall your previous version of VAC, the BAE installer will place a removal tool on your desktop, and you should run this first. The BAE installer will set up and configure VAC as well.
For those of you also running BA1, I have not received the updated version of it yet, but it appears in my testing that VAC 4.31 works well with it. However, the current production version of the BA1 installer will see VAC 4.31 as “foreign” and try to uninstall it, so you should uninstall VAC and install 4.31 independently of the BA1 installer.

Am I missing something here? The HTTP server port is :8282 and it is via whatever the IP mask is that your BA1 is running on.
For instance, 127.0.0.1:8282 will get the interface on the PC you are on. If you know the IP of the other PCs, substituting the actual IP will address that version of BA1.To set it up, go into Common/System/HTTP Access
Maybe you need some mic processing before your mixer. Most serious stations have a mic processor/AGC because no two presenters speak the same way.
Something like this is what I had in mind – probably overkill, but there are simpler mic processors.

I am still trying to find something we can all look to as the definitive guide.
Most manufacturers will produce documentation, but it is always skewed towards their particular product.
I want a instructions which embrace at least most quality sound card providers.Hi Radio Incontro.
Leif is super busy, but I am trying to take over some of the support for this wonderful product. However, as a software developer myself, I know that almost no-one can explain all of the intracies that the actual inventor can.I have a working copy that I use almost daily, so please fire your questions at me and I will try to answer them, or I will seek input from others.
Meanwhile, you might get some inspiration out of an article I wrote on the Breakaway Audio Enhancer thread, most of which applies to BA1 as well.
