I seem to recall that Leif purposely leaves Winamp VSTs alone, but can't remember the reason. Perhaps they don't play nicely with BA1.
I have a RIAA curve VST for playing phono through BA1. It also does not display the user options, but, once they are set, BA1 obeys the settings.
You do not need ASIO4ALL if your sound card supports ASIO and drivers have been provided. ASIO4ALL is a program which emulates ASIO, but just adds another layer to the latency. What is the make/model of your sound card?
Yes! If you have an ASIO capable sound device, use it as the primary. You need to set up the buffers etc both at the card level,and then inside BA1 to get the least latency without hearing glitches.
Yes! Download Breakaway One. It is fully functional without licencing, but you will get a nag voiceover from time to time. Select a "HD" core to process your music.
I actually have both BADJ and BA1 installed on the same W10 laptop. I used BADJ successfully until I explored all the available options in BA1, and I now use BA1 almost exclusively. I never used the two cores of BADJ, so it was easy to license one HD core and use it as the nucleus of my home entertainment system. I love the fact that BA1 will actually test all of the configurable ASIO buffer options and then recommend the best choice. Using that option, I have been able to get almost NO latency when playing music videos. As you know, DJ Buik, I use OtsAV, so I can adjust the video sync to match the audio, but it needs only a tiny adjustment.
I'm not sure what you mean. Have you upgraded to Breakaway one? If so, you will have the option to run as a service. I usually run in foreground until I have everything tweaked, because I am more familiar with the regular configuration program. Once I am happy that everything is working, I run it as a service, and then you need BA Remote to make adjustments.
BA1 must be running as a service for BA Remote to work. You may have to open port 8200 in your router, but mine seems to work without it. You will need the IP address of the machine running BA1.
You state that "other softs" have a "perfect clean signal", BUT are they to RDS specification? It is relatively easy to over filter, but you then lose good signal with the bad.
It's like signal to noise specs in audio. You can lose the noise floor, but you will also lose some of the audio content.
I'll leave Leif to answer the first questions.
However, I can assist with the question about the conversion process. Go to http://www.breakawayone.com/free-upgrade/ to see what the options are, and how to go about it.
Upgrades are also priced on that page.If you need to migrate to another PC, I understand that you will need to apply for a new licence, and provide the MAC address and details of the new PC, because the licence is generated from the MAC address. Perhaps an email to broadcast@claessonedwards.com would clarify this.
Can you please provide screen shots and details of your audio set up? It's easy to make accusations, but we need to know what we are working with here.
In the M Audio control there is the option. It usually runs in the systray, but may be disabled, so launch it from the Programs folder.
Alternatively, you should be able to launch it from the ASIO tab in BA1. Click Common Audio Devices > ASIO. The click "Reload Driver", then "ASIO Driver Control Panel. Select an option in the window (starting with the lowest). Exit from the M Audio set up and then click the "Run Test" option. You should aim for the lowest "jitter" setting, so repeat the process until you get the lowest buffer with jitter under (ideally) 50%. You should be able to get down to 6% with the right combination.
Then repeat the test in your input and output configuration screens.
The obvious one is the ASIO buffers. Check the M Audio and set the buffers low, but not tiny. Then use BA1 ASIO settings to suggest the best buffer count. See if that makes any change. Unless you are using a live mic, the latency between the input and output is not important.
As I understand it, the bass mod is made to the final "speaker" settings after the chain (see Leif's comment on previous page), but I could be wrong. I will seek clarification.
On the subject of ini files, there is actually a command line switch which over-rides the default ini locations, so you can switch to a different ini set just by changing the command line (ini_folder=c:/blah) – handy if you are debugging a different setup.
