I agree, it means you can offer 1 simple product cost effectively and this one product should suit pretty much all requirements, including some which up until now are not possible at all.
Wow, thats very impressive, this is going to be a formidable piece of kit.
If it’s cost effective to make one main board for all needs, this has to better for consumers than having different variants right?Looking good. I notice the "ST" (Stereo?) indicator is on, does this mean that this exciter also has the dsp Stereo endcoder on board as well? If so, you really have made the ultimate exciter to cover all uses.
Really looking forward to deploying this and seeing what it can do.
One further question, I know this accepts AES digital inputs, but will it accept SPDIF also?Can I also join the legions of people who say… RELEASE LEIFCAST!! looks like a great program, a great alternative to Edcast. Gotta be worth a few $$.
[quote author=”Dr.J”]Just a thought, how about upping the price to $149 and including 2 mono mic processing channels. It would be great to have that extra functionality for MCs or karaoke stars. Then you could market it as Breakaway DJ/KJ![/quote]
Processing on mics has to be handled very carefully and usually needs to be gated to prevent severe feedback. That said, the digital delay intreoduced by software such as this may well remove acoustic feedback as there will be a few ms delay but then may also be distracting to the performer, again, this is a difficult one to get right in a live environment.[quote author=”Boki”]For the record .. AudioTX have 60ms latency with two Juli@s Asio on both side in my link 😉[/quote]
That’s pretty impressive. Is this over a LAN or over an internet connection and what’s the stabilty like?
Sigmacom, sooo happy to see this pic, finally its getting close, this pic is like porn for techies. 😀
The lowest latency software I know of is called AudioTX communicator. It can be set to run very low latency over network/IP or ISDN but over any digital network, you will NEVER get latency in the area of xx milliseconds, unless you count 500 milliseconds as low latency. In terms of IP STL links, anything under a second is extremely low latency. This buffer is required to keep things reliable, this is the reason webstreams have a long buffer, to give a bit of a safety net.
AudioTX communicator, however is not cheap and requres 2 copies to be licenced (one each end) to form a link. There are cheaper STL solutions out there but this is the most flexible, reliable and lowest latency software solution available, as far as I am aware.As for 192 mpx, there is absolutely no solution available at present but we are are hopeful that such a program will be forthcoming from this very site sometime.
You need to enable the sync channel in Airomate. Set the RDS level to approx 10% and the Stereo around the same (the level of this is not vital as it is not used as the final pilot, just used to sync to). Set the Airomate output to one of the free pipelines and set the same pipeline as the RDS input in BBP, set to 2 channels. BBP will do the rest for you. As long as the config page shows external sync present and the RDS is at the required level (usually 4-5%) then all is well.
Maybe this is the new project, 75Khz modulation at all times but completely transparent processing. Maybe someone requested transparent processing and Leif misunderstood their intentions 🙂
[quote author=”timmywa”]Yep, Yorkie… It’s a Vista/Win7 feature that allows window borders and backgrounds be translucent and seem like Glass… commonly referred to as Aero.[/quote]
And I’m sure it’s a vital feature for all sound based applications… 😉
I think (and this is only a wild guess based on Leif’s pic..) that this is something to do with the skin of your app being transparent so instead of being a solid colour (normally grey) you can see your desktop thru the app..
Am I somewhere close??In 2010, we will be using DDS exciters which take the mpx from BBP digitally and the modulation is also created digitally (part of the DDS carrier). We will transmit this to our transmitter site using a IP STL program which keeps all of the integrity of the benefits of BBP intact. In effect we will have the tightest modulation controlled, best sounding and cheapest to set up radio stations in the world at a fraction of the price of Pro gear. OUr airchains will be digital from start to finish. What a year 2010 is promising to be…
[quote author=”Leif”]I was planning to write STL software, but other projects got in the way.. May still happen in the future, but I have no idea when.
///Leif[/quote]
Still eager to see this tho.. with the new exciters on the way, the STL will truly be the missing link in our "fully digital" aspirations.
If however you do think its time to make a start, please pre-consult with us so we can compile a wishlist of features.A similar issue has been experienced by other people also including those with PCs which exceed the required spec a lot (most of my machines run BBP @ 20-30% CPU). As far as I’m aware, there has never beena definative solution made to the skipping/clicking issues.
The last I heard was that the author of VAC (Breakaway pipelines) had managed to reproduce the problem but I have not heard since of any mention of a fix being implemented. I could be wrong about this and the fix may have been implemented on an update. In any case, its still happening to me and I’m having to manage the problem myself with my own workaround fixes.
Always make sure you are running the latest version which will always be posted a sticky in this forum.
