You can still get Breakaway Live, and then you’ll be able to run up to 4 stereo-independant audio engines with low latency. But you’ll have to pay for two cores in your case (something like $200).

Thanks for the confirmation Leif 🙂 I think I’ll enjoy it very soon then 🙂 I remember one time, when I simply connected a 2.1 sound system to BL, my neighbour who came watching Alien vs Predator with me at home with the video projector told me that he had the impression that "the sound came out of the wall"… 😉 And I do not have any latency problem with BL, I can watch movies, even play games and I never had a problem.
As I can read, BHT will then include the UPMAX II algorithm and Undo, amongst others… sounds promising, no pun intended 😉 If you want me to try it out here, you’re also welcome to test it here i you come to France some day 😉
[quote author=”Italofan”]Breakaway won’t batch process since it’s a "real time" processor.[/quote]
The "real-time" is not a requirement, it’s just processing sound it’s being fed with, so if you feed it with some wave data instead of a sound stream, it’ll do its job just fine. If Leif thought it was possible, then it IS possible 🙂 "Gewoon omdat het kan" 😉
Man, this post sounds just as good as Undo 😉 I’ve never looked forward a summer like this one in the past 🙂
Well, I thought, with the INI you can easily set up Breakaway with all the correct values without having to change every setting by hand : just back yours up, replace it by mine, change the io settings and you’re good to go. But if you prefer, here is a screenshot 🙂 Every other window not present in the picture is just set to default.
Good one Leif 😉 I also love the "Because we can" statement, I know (and am a customer of) a hosting company here in France (OVH) and they do a lot of stuff too, because they can 🙂 for example, SIP telephony, SMS gateway, VPS, and ADSL provider too…
I’ve got a question though, but I wasn’t there: what about the Breakaway versions? Will they be made available before the box? Which features? And last, can I get a free license, "because you can" give it to me ? 😉 (kidding of course, you deserve your money 😉)
Thanks a lot eldoradofm for this recording 🙂 It looks very promising, and I’m really looking forward the software versions that will be made available.
(BTW I wondered what was the jokes at 28:36 and 31:38 and 34:23 and after too.. like 53:06 I can’t get it ? 😉)
[quote author=”camclone”]and please listen for more than 5 minutes to be sure that you don’t hear only 80s bad recordings .. 🙁
be patient and keep in mind that the loudness is ….at very very extreme levels .[/quote]Also I think, when people scans stations with their radio receivers (which seems to be the Graal for you), you can’t ask them to "stay more than 5 minutes", because your station can sometimes sound bad. People will not stay 5 minutes, but much more like, say… 5 seconds 😉 So you have to make your station sound properly on 99% of the songs you’re playing, not just sometimes. Or people will bounce off when they’ll reach your station. Carefully choose your songs (and song quality),and your settings to keep clear over all of them.
[quote author=”Dj Buik”]In a RDP session there is no audio driver available. In my RDP client i leave the sound at the remote (server) site.[/quote]
I think that’s what he already did.
And FYI, on the machine I’m talking about, the used soundcard is a Terratec Aureon 5.1 Sky (cost me about 25 € on eBay), using Terratec drivers. I purely disabled the internal Realtek soundcard. I have the same things as you, no usable soundcard on Windows. You can hear it there : http://www.radiomaxxi.com
Check if RDP is not overloading your computer. Try out with some VNC app if this could work better. I know by experience (and other people here did too) I got problems with RDP and setting up Breakaway (mouse jumps and turns settings all the way up or down).
I have a similar configuration (Win2008 with Breakaway Live running on it, accessed by RDP) but my configuration uses an ASIO card, which therefore doesn’t shows up at all in Windows Soundcards. But you should try to set the default Windows soundcard to anything not related to Breakaway (some unused (virtual) soundcard for example) and see if this helps.
I personally dont listen to 128 K MP3s, just too many distorsion in them (minimum is 192 for me). But when I have to, or when it’s badly (re)encoded, I prefer to disable or lower the sound processing because any sound processing is a MAGNIFYING GLASS to glitches and bad compression. You hear much more the lousy less with a sound processor (which will try its best to turn up the lost frequencies due to the mp3 algorithm, thus increasing the loss).
But as I said in a previous post, as long as I only hear to 192 or flac/wav only, I always use Breakaway (Live in my case) on my listenings (even for films or games). And I really wait to see the new versions coming!
I’m interested by a discount for upgrading Breakaway Audio Enhancer to Breakaway Live too, if you know when you’ll do it… ?
