Try using Radio Delay, intended to sync up Satellite TV pictures to radio commentaries but also very useful for creating a delayed loop for a profanity delay.

Hi,
Before we can fully help you, one important question..
Is your 1KW station FM or AM?The difference between the Juli@ 1,2 and the Breakaway pipelines is that the Juli@ I/O is a physical I/O whereas the Breakaway pipelines are virtual I/O although most soundcards have virtual I/O to some degree.
Can’t help much with ASIO issues I’m afraid, my knowledge is limited with ASIO and my knowledge of the BBP ASIO is Nil as I only use the "normal" version.
There are sure to be plenty coming forth soon with help for this issue.Yorkie.
There is also a very handy FREE silence detector program at pira.cz which can be programed to kill and re-start winamp if it stops in fact this program can stop/start just about any task can also fire backup playout and do loads of other things too. This coupled with Leif’s audiorepeater program is a godsend for an unattentded site.
Jono, your friend sounds like a very knowledgeable guy.. 😉
This is a long term problem I have been experiencing for years also. It seems that when playing a stream in Winamp/VLC/WMP it can only play for a finite amount of time before the data runs out, the stream stops and rebuffering is needed. I have always assumed that this is due to tiny variations in clock speeds meaning that eventually the two ends drift apart in time to a point where the data runs out. This is the same for streams over the internet and also over LAN.
I have used a workaround for this which is to add the stream to a playlist 3 or 4 times and then set winamp to repeat. This way, when the stream drops, it goes to the next playlist item and plays again. This works ok most of the time but every now and then, winamp will freeze at "buffering 0%" and you need to manually press play to get it moving again. This is the biggest annoyance although selecting shuffle seems to reduce the frequency of this problem occurring, it still does happen.
I have tried increasing the buffer sizes etc in winamp but this only seems to delay the inevitable.I would love to know if there is a solution to this one as it has plagued me for years.

I’m not sure about that Jesse as I only ever use the non-ASIO version myself. Thinking about it, probably not..

Most onboard soundcards do not have a good audio input. You will often find they have a very poor signal/noise ratio and also the input level is very hard to get right, with a very low and noisy input but then if you increase the level only a little you will start to get very dramatic clipping.
The input on the 0404 will be very good quality. I’d use that myself.Yorkie.
This setup is fine, there is a thread on here from a few months ago giving instructions how tho set up 0404 to act as input and output card, it needs to be done exactly right to work.
If yo chose to use a different card for input it does not need to be 192khz, 48 will be fine but just remeber the better quality card you use, the better output you will have.Yorkie.
This would be normal, the only product with low latency is Breakaway ASIO. If you intend using video, you may need to delay the video to sync with the audio if your software allows this.
Hi Q106, for my 5ghz links I use Either Engenius EOC-8610+ S which are around £50GBP each, http://www.solwise.co.uk/wireless-outdo … -8610.html
or Tranzeo TR5a, http://www.tranzeo.com/products/radios/TR-5a-Series (much more expensive).The Barix 100 units can do raw PCM over a 5Ghz link, did you know that? I do agree though that their maximum MP3 bitrate of 192Kbps is a bit of a let down. I have used these in the past and the thing that is good about them is the latency can be got quite low, < 1 sec in some cases.
Alternative programs, include Broadcast Computers Audio IP link, http://www.broadcast.co.uk/remote-broad … -p-93.html, AudioTX communicator, http://www.audiotx.com/main.html, for this one, you need to order twice, one for TX and one for RX, this is not a package unlike the others, it’s also very expensive but also the best of the bunch by a long way.
I have never come across the Digigram units before, just had a quick look, they look very similar to the Barix units but with balanced inputs/outputs whereas the Barix have unbalanced RCA connectors. Only problem is they seem to be about 3 times more expensive than Barix.
I’d love to have a look at the software your engineer friend made. If its better than what I currently use, I might be able to send a few orders his way.

Loving these 4U cases with the display in. For about $1600, I can make my own (virtual) Hardware unit… I’d say these would be marketable. Hows the genuine hardware box coming along Leif?? 😀

Hi Q106, I have to slightly disagree with Boki on some points.
I use this software on several full time stations, robust and reliable operation on all, each being used on 5Ghz IP links and occasional use over the internet, ranging from a few hundred meters to several kilometers. I also like the built in backup playback engine in case of link failure (just make sure you have something in all 3 folders otherwise it does fall over when trying to play items from an empty folder).
There is a latency, sometimes as much as 30 seconds but this also helps it stay reliable. Effectively there is no such thing as a "live" IP link so it really doesn’t matter if it’s 1 second or 30 seconds, you can’t monitor live in any case so a delay of 10-30 seconds to me is irrelevant.
The TX side does not need a destination IP entered as it will talk to any instance of the RX program that requests a link (this can be multiple clients as well as single a client). The RX program has a box where you enter the IP and port of the TX machine. It does seem sometimes to only like working on it’s default port (1386), I have tried using others with little but occasional success, again, but this may be due to my own networks (firewalls, portforwarding etc..) the port number I use does not usually matter to me, as long as it works is all I care.
There is a demo version available on the site here: http://www.raduga.net/purch-airlink.htm so give it a go and see for yourself.
There are more featured, lower latency and slicker programs out there but VERY expensive, this is the only software I know of at this price point which does the job well enough and does not use very low bitrate codecs (Airlink uses WMA at bitrates up to 320Kbps).Of course when Leif releases his long awaited (no idea if even in development yet..) IP STL program, it will blow all the others out of the market on both features and price, until then Airlink STL is perfectly useable in my experience.
If you have additional questions or need help/tips give me a shout.
Hope this helps,
Yorkie.
In 800×600 mode, BBP JUST fits in the screen in it’s default configuration, from the very top of the screen right down to the taskbar, you can of course manipulate the size and shape etc yourself to fill the screen as you see fit but the simple answer to your question is, YES, it does work in 800×600.
