Heya. So I recently realized the AGC in BA1 is not necessarily multiband like the Omnia software is capable of. At least not always..? Can we get clarification on this?
I’ve been experimenting with another multiband AGC and I love how it sounds. If it’s not already capable of multiple bands, I would be interested in (and even willing to pay for) a multiband upgrade to the wideband AGC currently in the software.
If it does exist, can we get metering for each band? I realized I already asked for this last part in another comment, but I’m putting it together with this request since it doesn’t necessarily make sense on its own if the AGC is not multiband.
Ah, so if I see “KS” in a software, I can assume it’s supposed to be “WDM” if said software also has a separate “MME” setting?
Or is this a semantics thing where it’s all technically streaming through the kernel even if it’s not the “KS” API? I was under the impression WASAPI did not use KS, but my understanding of this whole audio API situation in Windows is muddy as heck.
edit: sorry to derail
MME is not Kernal Streaming, to my understanding. It is a separate … API (??). Not sure what to call these.
Which Extreamer? Having trouble with PCM.exe… is this included with BreakawayOne?
It appears flac.exe can also encode PCM data. https://xiph.org/flac/documentation_tools_flac.html
“flac -c -1 -s 12000 -b 16 -f s16le – | nc remote_ip 8000
The -c option tells FLAC to encode the audio data, the -1 option tells FLAC to use the highest quality encoder, the -s option sets the sample rate to 12000 Hz, the -b option sets the bit rate to 16 bits per sample, the -f option sets the sample format to 16-bit little-endian, and the | nc remote_ip 8000 tells FLAC to stream the encoded audio data to the remote Barix extreamer box on port 8000.”
I don’t know if this works. Again, you would do best by asking Bard or ChatGPT yourself so you can try the responses and tell it when it doesn’t work. Then post the working code here for posterity.
Oh, jeez! I had just left for vacation when this came out and I completely missed it! Can we get this pinned or the version on breakawayone.com’s download page updated to include this version?
Oh, excellent! I completely missed this thread! I’m pretty certain there are no subharmonic enhancements built into BreakawayOne, though I could be wrong. All I know is I can’t hear much of any difference when I adjust the Clunk, Slam, and Bass EFX. This is why I would like a difference/delta monitoring setting for each filter.
Having read the descriptions, I’m more interested in Leif’s multiband percussion expander in Undo, and the subharmonics synth in Solar Plexus than ever.
Oh! I missed this post a couple of months ago. It has the info you’re looking for. There is apparently documentation in the works, and this is one of the things covered.

edit: the link didn’t work. let’s see if this direct link does
Okay, I think Google Bard is going to be your best help. I would do my own asking if I were you, so you could get more accurate info in your followup questions.
“i need a command line prompt for the execution of pcm.exe with a conversion of 16-bit, 12khz, mono (192kbps) PCM data”
and this was its response.
“pcm.exe -f pcm -b 16 -s 12000 -c 1 -k 192000 input.wav output.wav
Here is a breakdown of the command line arguments:
pcm.exe is the name of the pcm.exe executable file.
-f specifies the output file format. In this case, the output file format is PCM.
-b specifies the bit depth of the output file. In this case, the bit depth is 16 bits.
-s specifies the sample rate of the output file. In this case, the sample rate is 12kHz.
-c specifies the number of channels in the output file. In this case, the number of channels is 1.
-k specifies the bitrate of the output file. In this case, the bitrate is 192kbps.
input.wav is the name of the input file.
output.wav is the name of the output file.”edit: ah crap, nevermind. I’ll try to figure out a command line. I did a calculation and 12khz 16bit mono can indeed do 192 kbps
Things like Clunk and Slam are hard to understand what they do. This is why I think plenty of descriptive popups or right-click info menus would be invaluable for BreakawayOne. In other software, I can “solo the difference” of the effect (aka the Delta) and identify what they do more easily, which would also be amazing.
I’m also interested in knowing this. This is why I think descriptive popups or right-click info menus would be invaluable for BreakawayOne. In other software, I can “solo” the difference of the effect (aka the Delta) and identify what they do more easily.
I guess I’ll add this to the wishlist.
If you read the description of the 2B/5B Protection presets, you’ll see they’re even less processed. Give them a try. They’re mostly clippers/limiters, though the multiband and agc can be driven further if you change it.
Really? I was under the impression 2B and 5B Protection were the least processed and most transparent. Reference keeps the original color of the sound, but it’s not that transparent.
Many many differences. Breakaway One is more like the Omnia7 than the Omnia9, according to Jesse Graffam. The biggest is that Breakaway is not fully adjustable like Omnia products are. My understanding is the user operation mode is restricted to Basic functionality. BA1 is not thousands of euros because of this.
