Hmmmm…. methinks my words have come back to bite me!

Still, with all the discussion over ways to modify an already great processor, it seems odd that the "powers that be" are strangely quiet about this particular issue. If it’s a "look in the mirror" problem, you’d think someone would have figured it out by now.

As for patience… This started 3 months ago, and nobody’s indicated they’re making any progress on it. I’d think that having it fall apart every couple of days might kind of be a priority.

I have the problem, too.

BBP ASIO 0.90.95

In Phase Linear mode, I get 2 to 3 days before the audio clicks, spits or burps… it’s pretty random, but obviously wrong. CPU load goes over 88% at its worst

For me, the fix is as easy as hitting the IO Config tab, "yes", & "finish". The processor returns to normal & CPU load drops to 15 – 20%.

Well, consider the source.

Someone comes in here, and on only his second post, knows more than everyone else.

The comments about CD processing are certainly valid, as would be any commentary about the differences between getting music from his pristine studios to a home stereo or the interior of a car.

Methinks there’s more to this guys story.

Don’t get too worked up over this, Jesse. The idea that any product, much less one like Breakaway, should come with docs, upgrades AND customer support for the kind of money Leif’s charging is what’s "unbelievable".

Example: There are two ‘point of sale’ software packages that generally meet the needs of my theatre. The first one I tried was a buy-out at something like $700. Within 6 months, I had problems with functions the software wasn’t doing well. Unfortunately, the only member of the ‘customer service team’ was the owner, and he rarely returned his phone calls.

I soon moved to another product. This one comes with a yearly license fee. Don’t pay the fee and the software stops selling tickets and snacks. On the other hand, the higher cost pays for 24/7 support, all upgrades (downloaded off the ‘net), and quite a few features that they wrote into the package to suit the needs of a drive-in theatre (which is what I run). I am MUCH happier with this package, even though I pay nearly 2,000 per year to keep it going.

I suspect most of us who have licensed the Breakaway products are well aware of the value we got for the money, especially those of us who have purchased and worked with any other high-end processing.

Wow… hard to know what to think about some of the posters here. I assume those who can’t get enough new presets, features, skins, sounds, bass (lots more bass), more treble, less treble and squarewaves clipped flat, but sounding silky smooth have never purchased a major manufacturer’s hardware processor for broadcast use. Sure, those boxes might have more control over detail, but few come close to what the BBP products sound like.

Given the insanely (thanks to Jesse) low price for the software, it’s well worth the money just to evaluate whether it fits your needs. If not, fine. Chances are though, you can find a way to nudge one version or another into giving you the sound you want.

Frankly, I’ve made a couple of radio stations (one an AM) and a 3-screen drive-in theatre sound really incredible with BBP. If Leif comes up with a new product that tops this, even if it is more appropriately priced, I’m hoping to be near the front of the line to buy it.

Meanwhile, thanks to Leif and those who are closely supporting him and his efforts (this site, his marketing, etc). I wish I had found you guys before spending major bucks for the boxes I now have sitting around (well, one is running a web stream)… but I guess it gave me an easy way to a/b this stuff! 😕

Hmmmmm… Guess I’ll have to see what I’m missing. I set up 4 computers with M-Audios… modded all of ’em. Gonna be a real heartbreak if I wind up putting those cards on the shelf after all that cutting & soldering! 😥
