On a lark, I tried using Jill FM for about a hour, but I’m back with Rustonium, speed at 40. It has the presence I want but isn’t as fatiguing to my ears as Jill.
I’ve tried this since this morning and listened to several hours, and it’s sounding great to me. Thanks for the suggestion, Timmywa. Would you mind listening to the stream for a bit when you have time?
I’m aware of that; I’m just wondering, in the board’s opinion, what would be the best starting point.
My music mix covers songs from the early 70’s to the present. It’s mostly pop and rock, but there’s also urban, alternative, triple-A and even the rare country crossover. That’s a lot of recording styles and dynamics are going to vary, especially comparing an older song with the overprocessed mishmash that’s put out today. What I’m looking for is the "happy medium" that will make if not all, most if it, sound good. Plutonium is very, very close, but I’m still not totally happy with it.
If the range is set to 50, what does that translate to as a ratio? Is it the same for each preset? Does a higher range value equal higher compression? I know that’s a lot of questions, but I really don’t know the answers. The more I know, the better I can fine-tune Live for the sound I want.
Well, my compliments to you, sgerik. I’ve tried out your presets on my station for the last couple of hours, and it sounds amazing. I think I have a keeper here.
The problem seems to be solved. The critical time period passed with no breakup!
I believe it might have been a combination of properly setting the sample rate in Live and enlarging the buffer size in SPL. In any case, everything is smooooth now. Thanks, folks.One more thing…if you folks have a moment, could you check the stream and see how it’s sounding to you? I’m using a tweaked Plutonium and it sounds good to me, but another set of ears is always helpful.

Done. It was anyway; just wanted to be sure. You’ve all been great so far. Thanks for the comments!
Well, then if I’m using Live as the virtual soundcard, it should be unchecked, then?
Ross Levis of SPL says the output sound device controls the speed, which in my case is Live. SPL Studio (the playout software) uses Direct Sound for all audio output. Ross has suggested increasing the output buffer in SPL (it’s currently set at 500 ms), so I’ll at least double that, and take it from there.
