As Milky alluded in another thread, perhaps you need some pre-processing for the mic. You can try a VST plugin as an AGC. Stereo Tool works wonderfully with BreakawayOne and doesn’t cost very much for a basic license. Or you could run it as a stand-alone mic processor for nothing. Sadly, I don’t know of any other good AGC plugins off the top of my head.

Had some trouble with an existing copy of VAC 4.64 being detected during the BAE installer as an older version of Pipeline, and the Pipeline uninstaller placed on my desktop. I ended up uninstalling VAC through Add or Remove Programs, as one should. Ran the installer again and it still thought I had legacy Pipeline installed. My solution was to install 4.15c then uninstall it, then try to install BAE for a third time. After that, BAE seemed to work excellently.

So next I uninstall BAE and use the Pipeline uninstaller to clear out the Pipelines. Then I run the 4.30 Pipeline installer, which works without a hitch, requiring me to then do some slight setup in BA1. But BA1 seems to be working as excellently as ever. Seemingly no difference between BA Pipeline and VAC, meaning I’ll be able to eventually point friends to it as a free alternative again.

I’ll go back to BAE for a little bit to see if I encounter anything amiss.

I was trying to help you to configure a different processor on their forum. I had mentioned possibly needing Breakaway Pipeline at one point to correctly route audio through your DJ software. I also sent a preset, but it wasn’t what you were looking for.

This post is excellent and enlightening. Thank you. I nominate it for a pin.

When I run ST as a plugin from within Breakaway One, I can say the CPU usage is higher than the Breakawayone HD core. However, how much more depends almost entirely on what processing effects you have enabled, obviously. I use a few higher CPU effects when set to low CPU intensity (Pi3) at 150% quality. This results in the BAOne VST host (with only STereo Tool running) are about 7.5% while the BreakawayOne core application processing a single HD core at low quality/latency remains around 2.5%.

I hope this is helpful.

edit: None of this is with MPX processing, or FM or anything like that enabled. So I can’t speak for that impact.

Also, when suggesting BAE to friends, their most common complaint is that it doesn’t support multiple outs. I try to then direct them to BA1, but they assume they’ll get sick of the nag/reminder every few hours. If they could leave their headsets plugged in and get sound from their speakers at the same time using just BAE, I think they would be more likely to buy a license.

Just a thought that crossed my mind after posting, and I seem to be unable to edit.

But really, any updates to either app would be appreciated. Folks like them, even when nothing is technically busted.

edit test: Okay. somehow I’m able to edit this one, whereas in my last post, the button disappeared after I clicked it.

Getting an extra Speaker out for the Pass-Through license would also be excellent, and I’d buy one to have extra outs for sure, even though the native version of BA1 supports Common + asio in addition to the cores.

Have you tried launching the BaRemote.exe application directly?

Agreed. However, I’m pretty sure the concept of BreakawayOne is to provide near-Omnia processing with minimal ability to make it sound bad. Meaning those extra controls you want are intentionally not included in the product. This my interpretation.

However, I’d be happy to buy an upgrade that allows extra, more advanced configuration. In the meantime, I use another software processor as a VST plugin from within BreakawayOne.

Though for a final color shaping or attenuation, I believe you would want to look for the OUTMIX entries in the preset AMX files.
