quote :….we need a declipper!
While i’m not Jesse, please try Stereo Tool, it has built in declipper (which is used in Omnia 9 😉), though the output resolution is only 16bit, you can use Hard Limit to flatten any very high peaks caused by declipper, sounds still a lot better!
Oh and what about this then? Absolutely amazing!

With respect to RDS, you might as well buy Airomate. It’s only around 50 euro as far as I remember. You can find a guide to make it work with BBP here: http://ceaudio.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=58&Itemid=75
.[/quote]It’s actually 29 euros, cheap in my opinion! So get it and get rid of the Falcon, do all the processing in one box, but make sure you have enough CPU power to do all of that.
Nice! Those Bullets (http://ubnt.com/bullet) look good, and seems to have good performance. Maybe I should have couple of those..
I’m wondering that could my STL software written in Python manage with low latency..
Well, i don’t know why would you need to have the BBP at the studio, if you can have it at the transmitter site. It’s also easier to transmit good quality stereo audio to the transmitter site than the whole multiplex losslessly! 192khz 16bit takes more bandwidth than 2x 44.1kHz 16bit, and that can be even reduced by some fancy audio codec!
What about reliability of the STL? When a nice fluffy cloud comes to block the WiFi, then you’re not even transmitting pilot nor RDS, just pure.. nothing! BBP at the transmitter site however solves this, and the only thing that is affected, is the program content =)
I think the BBP output (MPX) should go to the transmitters MPX input, alternatively you could rely (should be avoided anyway) on the transmitters possibly integrated stereo generator in case your PC hardware (soundcard!) does not support 192kHz samplerate, which is required for BBP to output stereo carrier.

Probably not, unless you can think of a magical way to get licenses for all the codecs.[/quote]Just do not put any codec… user will do that. But that’s not the point, right ?[/quote]
Well that would be just perfect! Leif could put the Edcast-like Leifcast in the Web-version, and provide instruction for installing codecs, example would include licence-free Vorbis, and then people would realize that the naughty codecs can be used with it too!
That wouldn’t be illegal, would it?

.. but there is a another encoder, called "twolame", documentation here: http://www.twolame.org/
DLL here: http://www.rarewares.org/files/mp3/twolame0.3.13.zipAnd oh my god how horrible MP2 @ 128kbps sounds like, how can that be used as a STL like many stations do!
I think that could be suitable because its analog bandwidth is 200KHz, and input is DC coupled.. Also max. samplerate is 1 MHz…
But I would also recommend the DSO Quad, it’s a lot more capable plus it’s not that expensive, $199..

BBP ($299) – Free upgrade for BBP ASIO ownersBrand new user interface
Improved clipper, perhaps even SSB stereo support.
Separate Range/Power/Speed for the AGC and the Multiband section
Some kind of EQ adjustment (probably Band Mix controls)
Simultaneous KS and ASIO support in any combination
Separate low latency studio processing path with speaker controller
And more.
[/quote]Nice!
Okay, so.. the pink flashing means that the clipping occurs at Effects section, right? How destructive is it to attenuate at the Effects, it’s just that i’m used to see input signal have max peak exactly at +0 db, but with EFX it’s clipping, and in order to get rid of clipping completely you need to attenuate 6+ dB and that makes it to be pretty low..

*snip*Breakaway Broadcast will be the first product to receive the upgrade, and I’m planning to release it this summer.

[/quote]It’s coming soooon! He kinda promised 😉
Breakaway Broadcast is way better for FM broadcasting, because it is more louder (due to better clipper, does Live even have one?).. It uses the spectrum more efficiently I guess, FM is a noisy medium! Live is NOT designed for FM, Broadcast IS.
It is better to leave all the audio processing for BBP to handle (yes, you should disable the limiter from the transmitter..)
