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.
Attachments:
Make sure ASIO4ALL is installed and reload the driver before ever opening the ASIO driver control panel. You should then be able to choose your sound devices.

This is the exact reason that people BUY backup audio processors for their radio stations. You're recommending that they find a way to steal one of the two processors they would need to do this. Thanks buddy.
[/quote]Oof, My bad guys. I was thinking from a broke-ass home user standpoint, and not from a funded professional setup. By God people should buy the software if they can afford it.
If that doesn't do what you need, try looking in
Common > Monitor Output > Patch Point
or
Core > Speaker Output > Patch PointFrom what I understand you won't want to resample or change the bit depth of the original files themselves since this stuff can usually be done by BAE or the player.
Also I could be wrong but I believe it "converts 48000 to input 44100 and then converts back to 48000 for output"
If I recall correctly the first nag/reminder happens after around a half hour in, then doesn't occur again until an hour or so later. It seems intentionally slightly random so you can't schedule your own interruptions.

If it's "or" then, you might be surprised to know that Leif's audio processing effects around 85% of all broadcast television on Earth. Almost every box that Linear Acoustic makes is one of Leif's.https://www.telosalliance.com/linear

Wow. I truly wasn't aware how ubiquitous Leif's algorithms are. That's pretty awesome. I have only kinda recently started being conscious of individual developers of awesome software and following their works like one would a band/artist. I feel I'm just now becoming aware of how special something like BreakawayOne is, after learning a little about Telos and Omnia.I happened to come across Volume Logic randomly while it was in beta stages and I was lucky enough to be accepted as a tester. Just like I happened across OctiMAX years before as a teen and had my Winamp completely transformed. I would use it to make mix tapes to play in my friend's car when we'd ride around town. I'm even looking at getting a Surface tablet so I can take it with me in real-time. I even bought a Plantronics Voyager BT 'headset' back in the day because I somehow got it in my mind that the VL tech went into it.
Now I intentionally have LC tech processing my audio well over 85% of the time.
