Bring it on! It’s a lot harder to ban and remove posts without the search option active, and these past few days, we’ve been hit pretty hard.

I’ve am using UltraVNC with no problems at all. I prefer UVNC because it comes with an FTP server, so you can also transfer files to/from the rermote. There are also VNC clients for some mobile phones, so you can remotely control using your phone.

[quote author=”Leif”]New version is up!

http://www.claessonedwards.com/beta/bre … _alpha.exe

New features: Selectable Test tone or Pink Noise generation
Audio Realtime Priority is back, but off by default

TNGDJ, please try the new version, turn on Test tone generator, and listen carefully to the sound *while loading a large playlist in otsav*.

If it’s consistently clean, it means Breakaway DJ’s audio engine has no problems, but the OTS ASIO output does, then I’d have to blame OTS, and there’s really nothing I can do other than offering a larger asio buffer option.

On the other hand, if you hear the glitches even with the test tones, then it could be breakaway dj’s audio engine that doesn’t get enough cpu power, and then turning Audio Realtime Priority on MAY help.

Please let me know.

This is a quote from page 4 of this thread in which Leif announces 90.05 AND the changes incorporated in it. If you think about it, you only had to read Leif’s posts, because they would be the only ones which would mention new releases or contain a link to it.

For the record, I was not trying to be obtuse, nor be "Fan Boy", but the search facility it there for a reason, there is ONLY one thread related to BADJ, and, to me, the answer is/was obvious. We are happy to answer questions which haven’t been covered anywhere before (if we know the answer), but a little light reading never hurts anyone.
Like you, I am a BADJ user, and I would like to see some changes to it, but, as has been announced and mentioned on numerous posts, Leif is busy rolling out an improved platform, so we all must mark time until that task is complete.

I’m home, but don’t know the answer you seek. If you’ve followed the forum, you would know that Leif is on a mission which has kept him away from here, and I’m not sure anyone else knows the answer. I bought BADJ almost as soon as it was made available, and seem to recall Leif released a couple of iterations in short succession – partly for bug fixes and partly in response to users’ suggestions.

If you read through this very thread, you will get the entire history of this product, from when Leif first announced he was working on it, to its first release, then some discussion on improvements, the first release for sale, and a subsequent release with improvements. I believe the answer you seek is in the first 4 pages.

Startup problems with BADJ.
My son bought a copy of Breakaway DJ and installed it on his laptop, a near new HP i5, Widows 7 Pro box. Whenever he restarts the PC (Windows updates, antivirus etc), BADJ launches to. However, the sound is scratchy and very distorted. If he closes and re-opens BADJ, everything sounds great and it is using the settings he has made. It’s no big deal haveing to shut down and re-start BADJ, but he wonders if there is some way Breakaway could overcome this distortion on startup?

I read that ten times trying to make sense of it and it’s relevance to Breakaway DJ.

Your argument would be good IF we could believe that every record producer was as dedicated as you. However, many these days just crank the pan pots left and right, and then beef up the EQ to give lots of bass and treble so it will cope with the odd asshole who has fancy-schmancy speakers. They also use pitch correction and other "effects" that grate on the nerves of we who don’t need "colouration".

You also don’t take into account the listening environment. Not all of us have acoustically tuned lounges, studios or back patios. "Boxy" or "echoey" environments exist, as do many with overly-soft furnishings or rooms with hard, reflective surfaces.
Just as you tweak the mixing desk to make the artist and musicians sound the best they can (to your subjective ears), we mere mortal listeners need to adjust what we are hearing to better match what we would like to hear to our listening environment, or to match live performances that resonate with our memory.

If we all had the same, bland listening capabilities, with 20Hz to 20kHz bandwidth, then your argument would be reasonable, and I would concur. I am an orchestral musician in my 62nd year. I know what instruments should sound like, but many CDs are not quite right in my listening environment. BA lets me fine tune the audio produced by you so-called "experts" to exactly match what MY instruments in MY listening environment to my liking.

Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, music is in the ear of the beholder.

What are you guys on? I want what you’re having.
