Interesting and worrying, because I'm testing both to get one of them.
Will I have to buy both at once? 😮
[/quote]Oh, I see. I was under the impression you already had (at least a basic license for) Stereo Tool since you mentioned it in your post.
My recommendation is to get BreakawayOne first, then a basic Stereo Tool license later after you feel like you've exhausted your bass options in BreakawayOne. But definitely try the various presets in BreakawayOne before deciding to buy anything.
I'm not at all experienced in any hardware audio processors, but I've gotten about a year's worth of hours listening in BreakawayOne with Stereo Tool as a VST plugin.
My current method for big bass is to use the TrueBass (sub-harmonics detector/generator) module of Stereo Tool, used as a VST plugin within BreakawayOne. Try this and lowering the "Final Limiter Drive" (Core > Audio Processor > Final) and/or swapping presets to "French Kiss" or "Nebula" something with multiple AGCs before the Multiband.
I'd like to hear other peoples' ideas too.
I'm still not getting this to work. I wonder if it has to do with my setting of launch as Administrator so Breakaway can see my VST plugins folder.
I'd be more likely to opt into the Management Package and service mode with BAremote if I could still adjust the VST plugin settings while it was active. However I do realize my use case scenario is not what BAone was explicitly designed for; people usually want to set it and forget it for hours/days/weeks worth of processing straight.

If you are not using as a service, make a copy of the app shortcut and put this into the startup folder. There is a Startup folder in all versions of Windows, in some, like Windows 10, it's not easy to find but it is there.
The quickest and easiest way to find it is to press the Windows Key, type shell:startup and hit Enter. The actual location is: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

I've actually already tried this with zero luck. Does this work for you?edit: Would creating a batch file that waits 30 seconds then launches the app work I wonder?
I haven't had any luck getting this to work. We might need some clarification from somebody more knowledgeable , but I think that's what Service Mode is for and requires the Management Package.
I hope I'm wrong.
Please watch this video and read the description for more information on how to upgrade your Breakaway Live purchase to a BreakawayOne HD core for free.

If there's any values that aren't there, it'll just use the defaults for those settings.
[/quote]I see. Will it default to the Reference Settings default or will it try to set back to the preset default based on the "base_preset" hash or whatever you'd call it? What if that base_preset line isn't in the file? Would setting stuff to 0 be the correct way to nullify effects?
edit: The correct way to nullify the sound processing seems to be to use the 2Band or 5Band Protection presets. Maybe start there if you want to tweak from "scratch"
Sometimes BreakawayOne needs to be run as administrator to read files in protected folders (such as 'Program Files'). I don't know if this is an issue when using the service.
I believe owners of previous Breakaway broadcast products are eligible for a free upgrade or store credit for the original price of Breakaway DJ. http://www.breakawayone.com/free-upgrade/
I don't use the BIMP, actually. I use a second Breakaway HD core in Trial mode (with another instance of Stereo Tool as a VST plugin — unnecessary but it's handy if I want extra processing on the input) to process my microphone. If I'm not mistaken, the BIMP is mainly a secondary core for ST that you use for mic processing while the main instance of ST is there to process your game audio or radio playout (for streamers or broadcasters) and solutions like that. I don't think it has any extra processing effects that don't come with a standard ST license for the VST plugin. Using Breakaway to host ST allows you to use ST like a BIMP for less than it would cost to add the BIMP to your license ($150 for an HD core vs $200 for BIMP addon).
It might even work with a passthrough core ($30) instead of a full on HD core,
but I haven't tried.It totally works with a pass-through core.My use of BAO for microphone processing is in voice chat during games. So I'm not as particular about how I sound as one would be when mastering rap vocals. But I know I have the power to make myself sound amazing if I tried. Again, ST+BAO is like a Reese's cup for your ears.
I use the ST plugin inside of breakaway's VST host for Declipping and a little extra processing. Stereo Tool and Breakaway are great flavors that taste best together, imho.
It would be awesome if, when importing a preset with more than 5 bands, we were given the option to choose whether we wanted the upper five or the lower five. Even cooler would be a way to toggle individual bands on/off (up to 5 on) instead of only a complete bypass.
As far as muting certain bands, you can try reading the Omnia 9 manual (https://www.telosalliance.com/images/Omnia%20Products/Omnia%209/Omnia9_Audio_Processing_Manual_Book_C18315032.pdf) to help reverse engineer the preset files once you find one that's almost exactly what you want. Deleting all the lines referring to the lower three bands is probably not going to get you where you want to be, but I'd start there, knowing almost nothing about how this thing works.
Remember to keep backups and report back what you encounter!
You might check the AM_presets folder in found in an Omnia 9 patch you can get here: https://success.telosalliance.com/omnia-9-v3.18.99-software-update
Just open it in 7-zip (https://www.7-zip.org/) and look around until you find the "am_presets" folder (
sorry I don't have the patch handyIt's in "omnia9_updater_3.18.99.pak\d:\Omnia9\"; adjacent to the "music_presets" folder). I believe these are all presets for voice. Just make sure you choose one with 5 or fewer bands so Breakaway can make it sound like it's supposed to. You can open them in a text editor to see how many bands it uses.Good luck!
I mean you don't really need to use ASIO for home listening, but it helps. BAE and BA1 both support Kernal Streaming. This may be easier to set up if you don't want to download an extra piece of software or buy an audio device with its own real ASIO drivers.
Open the configuration and go to Common Audio Devices > Common Monitor Output
Then select Kernal Streaming with Realtek as your output device.
