There is bound to be a delay of some sort, for every time the digital signal is processed. A lot will depend on the PC's processor – the faster it is, the lower the delay. ASIO is also a much more efficient way of processing, so the latency could drop to only a few milliseconds. I am using Breakaway DJ with ASIO, and cannot discern any out-of-synch with music videos.
I believe the demo is exactly the same as the full version, except a voice-over drops in from time to time.
The latest major update to Win 10 seems to have fixed most BA problems reported in the past. The particular one your debug dump refers to is from the version of Virtual Audio Cables which is incorporated in the product. Try the Win10 update first, then check for the latest version of VAC.
The "VAC" prefix gives it away. It is part of the Virtual Audio Cables program which is used in BA. You MAY be able to install a fresh version of Virtual Audio Cables, and that MAY fix it.
Obviously, something has changed in Win 10 that BADJ is not aware of. It might be the audio driver that has been substituted and not as compatible as before. JesseG has indicated that a new build is on the way, so let's hope that that will fix things, or maybe Microsoft will issue a driver update.
Why are you using ASIOforALL? That is a software driver unrelated to Breakaway. You also have BA set to 48kHz, and Windows set to 44.1 (CD quality). They all need to be on the same rate.
I accept all of your comments, madmanjohn. I am a patient man, and I feel I got value for money on my original purchase of Breakaway DJ. I won't be rushing into upgrading my studio PC to Win 10, just because it is there. In fact, if it hadn't been for a recent meltdown of my hard drive, I would still happily be on Win XP, instead of migrating to Win 7.
I would just like an indication from Leif that SOMETHING is going to happen, somewhere into the (near) future, so that I have something to anticipate. It's the not knowing that most of us find hard to deal with.
We have a (crude) saying in Australia, "Piss, or get off the pot". That means, either deliver the goods, or an intention, or simply tell everyone that the honeymoon is over.

If I was Leif I would at least talk to the users of my software…
[/quote]That, to me is the biggest disappointment, too. I am generally happy with the product I bought, but I would love to have some more presets (BADJ only has four), and I am sure there are some tweaks that could be made if I really looked hard. We are all in a time warp, because development stopped before Windows 8. With Win 10 on the horizon, we are all at least two OS behind, with no prospects of advancement.
Nobody, other than Leif, knows that. We still visit in the hope that there will be some updates, but, I hear that Leif is too busy on other projects to have any time to devote to it.
No, Jesse meant that you install VAC and use its inputs and outputs instead of those in BAL. Apparently, the licensed version of VAC bundled with BAL has been superseded by a better version, and this sometimes fixes the glitches.
Let's put it this way. If you want a solution right here and now, either take Boki's advice or look elsewhere.
It sounds like Breakaway is launching before Bluetooth has fired up, so it can't connect to the device. You may have to uncheck the autostart option in Breakaway and launch it manually after Bluetooth becomes available in the boot sequence.
Check the Properties for the device on your PC. Then go to the "Services" tab. You may find that audio is not one of the supported services for that device, or it may just be unchecked.
Any re-processing will introduce latency. However, it is only a problem if you are using a live mic, outside of the music audio processing, or you are playing audio which is synchronised to video. A simple example is, one track I have starts with the drummer counting in the track by striking his sticks together. If the audio takes too long to be processed, you see the sticks hit together before you hear them in the audio track.
I use Breakaway DJ, which has been optimised for high speed processing and ASIO drivers. Using this with a high-end CPU and very small buffers (something you tweak in BADJ and some sound card setups), there is no discernible delay.
If you are not using a microphone or videos, but simply playing back jukebox music, then latency isn't an issue. BA is NOT a plugin, but a stand-alone program which intercepts the output from your playback software, processes it according to your settings, and then passes it through to the output chain. It is important that you TURN OFF any other EQ in your software or sound card settings, so that the audio is only processed once. If you have a fixed listening environment, it is best to fine tune the settings and then save them as a default template. Each time you play that venue, you simply load the template at startup.
The trial version is free to try (it inserts an announcement now and then), so give it a try.
