BAE is the “Little Brother: of BA1. It was written in 32 bit architechture when Windows XP was king, so is currently in re-development to port it to 64 bit and with more options. Don’t hold your breath waiting for a release date.
Breakaway One shares a lot of code with the very successful Omnia range of broadcast controllers. It also has many, many features which are broadcast-specific, so it really is a giant sledge hammer to crack a tiny nut if you are using it for home music listening. However, it has the benefit of much more recent code, 64 bit processing, a range of available presets etc, so, if you can afford at least an HD core, streaming module if that’s what you do and I would suggest the Manaagement Package for convenience in controlling it, then go right ahead an get the Big Brother version.
There are many, many options you may never need. For instance, you could have a copy of BA1 at the studio end controlling output from the studios, and then send it to another copy of BA1 at the transmitter site for final broadcast, complete with alternate fail-over options if a link, or links goes down. Noe of this is available in BAE.
Thirty three percent is very high, so it’s no surprise that you can hear it. What happens if you just run the Wizard and let BAE decide the buffers? If you can’t get it down from 33%, it might be better to go with WAV, which is not quite so “pure”, but it just may be that your soundcard can’t handle KS very well.
I don’t suppose it’s a Windows sound setup issue? I recall a certain brand of soundcard had a “what you hear” option which, when turned on in Control Panel, produced an output from whatever sound scource was selected. If you are using the Pipeline, you don’t need this.
The licence is tied to the MAC address of the old PC, so you need to install BA1 in demo mode on the new PC and then generate a licence summary from it and email that with a brief explanation and your old licence details to broadcast@claessonedwards.com.
If you use BA Remote, go to Common > Licence > Get Licence Summary. Copy and paste it to a file and send it to broadcast@claessonedwards.com.
If there’s an echo, it sounds like one of the inputs is being re-directed back through, slightly out of phase. Do you have ASIO as well as non-ASIO running, or something like that?
To be honest, I’ve never agonised over the pipeline settings. It is just used as a convenient way of trapping the soundcard output if your playout software does not have an inbuilt option that you can select. By default, it is DVD quality, so shouldn’t need any alteration.
Typically, if your playout software has an input level adjustment, I would run it 3 to 5 dB down, to give BAE AGC some headroom to work. If the input is too hot, BAE will be constantly clamping it back down and it will lose a lot of its dynamics.
I will try to set up a simulation on my test rig and get back to you with options. If anyone else has already done this, feel free to chime in.
I am totally at a loss over this. I have relayed on all the information that you sent to me. I’ll contact John again to see where it is at, but it is now the weekend, so I may not get a response until Monday.
I have relayed your information on to John. I don’t know whether they monitor emails on weekends, so let’s see what happens today.
Nothing beats quality audio, but that takes some processing time which results in latency. If your presenters are not affected by the delay, go HQ.
Please forward your licence summary to milky.5343@gmail.com and I will try to forward it onto John.
