Oh, I see. I must have downloaded an AAC codec package at some point..? I just realized how long I’ve had this PC. It was on the list instead of being Custom, so I didn’t think it was externally acquired.
Is the built-in AAC encoder good enough or do you need to use a custom encoder? If the latter, I think my ability to help is null. However if you’re fine with using the built-in ones, here are the steps.
1) Enable the Streaming core in the settings
2) Navigate to Core> Streaming> Encoder 1
3) here you can choose AAC from the codec list and configure the rest of the stream settingsthis Video might help visualize how to get there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_6MKp-t56g
That’s absolutely fair. However, since this forum doesn’t have a direct messaging function (that I can find) what is the best way to submit sensitive information? This forum is missing integral features.
@MILKY Do you at least have the capability to delete/hide posts upon request?To clarify, those are DSP (Winamp) plugins, not 32bit VST2 plugins. The latter are capable of running within Breakaway One on the input chain before it becomes processed. This is really just handy for preconditioning your audio before Breakaway One (say, add a declipper or dynamics processor or whatever). Breakaway One does not run as a plugin within anything else.
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.
By lack of file based option, I don’t mean recording to file. I mean like using it on a file to add the effects similar to WatchCat or OmniaTools. Similar to a VST plugin, except as an application.
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…
I don’t know about the terms of service, but it’s very common to run mostly finalized and mastered music through a hardware processor before publishing. It’s possible to do this using Breakaway One if you set it up to output to a virtual device, which you could then record from. Sadly there’s no file-based option for Breakaway processing yet. Do experiment and leave your findings for the community, please!
I’ve seen this used and referenced in multiple places; mostly in rap production circles.
https://www.empiricallabs.com/distressor/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.
No problem! One of my favorite switches is this one here:
wheel_adjust=x Use mouse wheel to adjust sliders (rather than change page). x=gear ratio, for example wheel_adjust=1Hi. 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.I think you would want to somehow read the status of “/hd1/proc/bypass_proxy=” 1 for bypass enabled. I think Milky might be able to help you nail down how to do this a little better than I could. Best of luck!
Thank you for documenting your research and experimentation! I’m certain this will come in handy for somebody.
Yeah, that’s a timing/attention pattern I’ve noticed regarding Xmas stuff. BA1 has a Holiday themed registration reminder jingle or two that appear around that season when in trial mode.
We’re definitely interested in these rad little projects that could become awesome huge projects, or remain niche. I saw a video on YT from an account I suspect is Leif’s that has something like 30 RGB bulbs synchronizing to what looked like the BA1 or Omnia interface or something. None of the other current methods I’ve come across for music sync for my Hue were nearly that good.
