For the BA1 HD core, things are limited to 24-bit 48khz. I’d love to know as well if it’s possible to go higher. Perhaps in a patch. I know the FM cores can output at 192khz, but I think that’s multiplexing (mpx) a 48khz signal. And I’m pretty sure the processing bit depth is 32-bit, but I could have sworn I read the pipelines only make use of 24 bits when sending audio. This was in the old forums.

These limitations are there because BA1 was meant to be for streaming and broadcasting audio, where 24 bits is plenty of headroom, and sample rates don’t need to go above 48 when streaming. I wonder if a studio/daw-friendly core/version of BreakawayOne would ever exist. Something like OmniaTOOLS (a file-based processor) for Breakaway would be great.

BAE can output to a recordable source? I’ve never been able to pull this off. In fact this is the main reason I chose to invest in BAOne in the end. Maybe I didn’t know enough about doing it correctly, but I was attempting to output to a virtual audio device then record in a DAW. This is absolutely doable in BA One…

Yes. this is not the intended behavior for Breakaway Audio Enhancer. The only thing I could think of would be what Milky already suggested: somehow you’ve got your mic routing into your Breakaway Line 1. Could Windows be detecting the mic suddenly being activated and switching that somewhere to some semi-default? I’m just spitballing here.

Hi. I wanna say I came across some BaRemote command line parameters that might help you. Look in your “Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\BaRemote\BaRemote.txt” file. Let’s see if the code tag works for me.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                 BaRemote help
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BaRemote is an application and setup program in one.

If executed inside the Local Application Data folder (for example C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Local\),
BaRemote launches as a regular application. If executed elsewhere, it launches as an installer.

When using the connection list, you can reset saved settings by holding the LEFT SHIFT key as you connect.

The following command line parameters are available:

run			Force BaRemote to run as a normal application, not an installer
key=name			Use an alternate data key for remembering connections.
			Data is normally stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BaRemote\Data
			key=fm_stations will instead store the data key in:
			HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BaRemote\Data_fm_stations

If you want to bypass the menu and connect directly, the following parameters are also available:

host=xx			hostname (or ip)
password=****	password (not necessary for localhost connections)
port=xx			port number (optional, defaults to 8200 if omitted)
retry			retry connection indefinitely without ever displaying retry/cancel dialog. will also reconnect after connection lost.
retry=x			retry for x seconds then display retry/cancel dialog. if connection lost, will display retry/cancel dialog.

force_bw=xxxx	disables bandwidth detection, specified in BYTES per second (not bits). Saves bandwidth and speeds up handshaking.
				Example:
				force_bw=125000 means 976 kbps
				force_bw=2500000 means 19.1 mbps

touch			to run in touch screen mode
touchsim		to test the touch screen layout, but with a mouse
preso			to run in touch screen presentation mode

AspectRatio_16by=x		anamorphic rendering.
				For a 16:9 display using a 4:3 resolution, use AspectRatio_16by=9
				For a 21:9 display using a 16:9 resolution, also use AspectRatio_16by=9

vorbis			Force using Vorbis audio streaming, to save bandwidth
nicam			Force using NICAM (PCM) audio streaming, even if there does not
				appear to be enough bandwidth. Be very careful with this one.
noaudio			Force no audio streaming. This means no oscilloscope, no RTA, no FFT, and no client audio.
			
dpi=x			Force a rendering DPI (small or large fonts). Normally auto-configured from windows font-size setting.
				Valid values: 96, 120, 144, 192

no_taskbar_button		Create window without a taskbar button

displays_only		Starts up in "Displays Only" mode. Clicking on any display takes you back to normal mode.

ini_file=xxxx		Specify a full path and filename to save the session gui settings

max_displays=xx		Specify the maximum number of displays (for graphs/instrumentation). Default is 8.

hover_delay=xxxx	Number of milliseconds to delay before tooltip opens. 0 to disable completely

show_logo			Always show product logo (even at the expense of shortcut controls).

all_levels			Show Basic/Intermediate/Expert levels simultaneously. Useful if running two copies of BaRemote,
					to see which expert controls are modified under the hood when a basic control is adjusted.
					Only applicable to products that have adjustment levels. 
			
no_reconnect		Do not ask to reconnect, just close when connection lost

multi=xx			Multiple BaRemote windows with one connection. Saves bandwidth. NOT compatible with front panel or ini_file options.
			
			
For use on the front panel of a hardware unit:

fp						Front panel mode. Starts by asking for password, no exit in the menu, no client audio, and many other subtle changes.
no_lock_on_startup		Starts unlocked on power-up. For secure facilities only.

menu					Use the menu-style user interface (arrows + knob, no touch, no mouse).
						Similar to the front panel of certain products.
						When combined with the 'fp' option, it reads the mouse-wheel and five mouse buttons as follows:
						Wheel = Adjust (shuttle/rotary encoder/knob)
						Left mouse button = LEFT
						Middle mouse button = UP
						Right mouse button = DOWN
						Fifth mouse button = RIGHT
						
						If combined with the 'spin_message' option:						
						Sixth mouse button = Enter. This is optional -- Enter is not required for navigation, because RIGHT = Enter. Four arrow keys is enough to control the entire menu UI.
						
spin_message=x			For use with 4-way + push joystick control, when there is no visual indication on the front panel that the joystick is four-way -- it looks like just a knob you can turn.
						If the user spins the knob on the main menu or lock screen (which does not navigate, navigation is done with the arrow keys), a message is displayed directing the user to
						navigate by pushing the knob the way you want to go.
						
						spinmessage=1			Default message, for 16:9 format screens
						spinmessage=2			For small screens like Crystalfontz
						spinmessage=3			For even smaller screens
						
						
posx=x					Sets the front panel window size. Example: PosX=0 PosY=8 SizeX=319 SizeY=231
posy=y
sizex=x
sizey=y

wheel_adjust=x			Use mouse wheel to adjust sliders (rather than change page). x=gear ratio, for example wheel_adjust=1

always_on_top=x			Force window "on top" for x seconds on startup. Useful to force placement above the task bar.

file_recorders=x		Lets you specify the number of client file recorders. Default is usually 3.

Thank you for documenting your research and experimentation! I’m certain this will come in handy for somebody.

Hi. I believe the Breakaway Pipelines and tools it uses are from Virtual Audio Cable. I recommend trying the VAC website and seeing if there’s a new version you can try. Regardless, I don’t think Leif is responsible for the lack of recognition from Radio Boss to virtual cables.

The screenshot looks like you missed an ‘l’ at the end of the .dll (edit nevermind, it’s the image compression)

One handy trick I found is to navigate to where it’s located in the Windows file explorer, copying the DLL, then pasting it in the address bar of the explorer window. This will put the path to the DLL there, including the filename. And all you have to do is copy it again, paste in BA1, and remoe the ” marks.

Also keep in mind that sometimes Breakaway can only see plugins in certain places. The default install of that plugin is “C:\Program Files (x86)\VSTPlugIns\MeldaProduction\Delay”

edit: Also the ReaDelay in ReaPlugs should do the trick if the Melda one will not.

That’s correct. The ReaPlugs plugin pack has VSTs that work in BA1’s host. However I tried pulling the ReaVerb plugin from the 32-bit Reaper installer, and it wouldn’t work in BA1. But the delay one certainly does.
