I have yet to get BBP or BBP – Live to work without stuttering after 3 or so days; if I could leave it for more than three days, that might be a better solution for me. Jus’ sayin’
Either way, that machine should be capable of running the limited amount of software it runs and not have the stuttering/dubstep effect, right? When I run Latency Mon, I show only the Audio Science card and the ethernet port having any latency at all.
I get the stuttering with Broadcast AND Live – there must be a software conflict with the video driver or some other issue.
i7, 64bit, and 6 gig of RAM is slightly inferior? I thought is was a pretty banging box – at least servicible.
I have had stuttering problems with BBP and Live- have to reboot after 72 hours or so.
I have disabled all of the throttling stuff in the bios – I guess it could be video card conflict, or something else. I love it, but the unpredictable "Dubstep remix" on air sounds horribly amateurish.
At my station, we go automation/Breakaway Broadcast>console>twisted pair (don’t ask- sometimes you have to go with what you have)>STL>Synetrix Airtools 2M (not my choice, see above)>exciter>transmitter
For what we have in the chain, it sounds crystal clear and clean
It was a bad AudioScience driver – here is an email from their tech support:
quote :“Hi Justin,We discovered a glitch with that driver version you have which is likely contributing to your problem. We are currently in the midst of beta testing a replacement which should be available early next week.
If you can wait for the new one I would suggest trying that to see if it fixes your problem. If not we are recommending customers use a slightly older driver version which does not exhibit this problem. It is 4.08.06 and can be found here:
http://www.audioscience.com/internet/do … /v4/08/06/
Please let me know if that works and check our website next week for the updated driver.”
I reinstalled the Dixon Systems USB external, and no drop outs. I am guessing the AudioScience card drivers don’t play well with Breakaway Broadcast or Live with StationPaylist.
I attempted to switch to the WAVE output to see if that made a difference – HOWEVER the AudioScience card was not listed under WAVE. The driver must not support WAVE in 64 bit OS. I have an email into AudioScience to hopefully confirm or deny my suspicions.
I have a confounding issue – my machine is an i7 2.4 MHz (I believe) with 6 gig of ram; Windows 7 64 bit – should be plenty of HP right? I just installed an AudioScience 5111 card, and I am running StationPlaylist for automation. I just installed Breakaway Live, upped the buffers, yet I am getting
one or more audio drop-outs per song.I downloaded the utilities suggested – all green on the first utility; latency mon shows tha AudioScience drivers super high at 4ms
Are the sound card drivers causing my drop-outs? I am frustrated, as I thought the machine I had would rock the set-up.
oh, and my machine
windows 7 64 bit; 2.4 MHz i7 processor; 6 gig of RAM
I would think that would walk the dog on StationPlaylist, Breakaway Live, and the AudioScience card
sorry for dredging an old thread up – I just installed a 5111; 2 record 4 play stream card. I have Breakaway Live installed with it. I am using high buffer settings, but every 3or 4th song still has an audio drop-out. Any Audio Science secrets I might be missing?
I downloaded the audio stream checking utilities suggested, and the drivers for the Audio Sciene card take up a LOT of resources- more than any other driver/process. It seems the card is causing the audio burps/drop outs. Any suggestions?
I must assume since I have had no replies that if I set up my automation software using the instructions for people that stream that it will run the same way using a sound card/traditional set-up with StationPlaylist.
I had seen that thread, but was not sure if things might be different for someone that uses a different method to stream – I guess if I am not streaming, following the other instructions will allw me to use the software as a plug-in under station playlist
Something I would like to mention – before a processor – the CL-1 Cloudlifter from Cloud. +25dB of gain, with no resistors/capacitors – 4 JFETs. Clean, colorless gain for low output mics (SM7B, RE20). I have 4 VO studios at my station, and have loved them before and pres. They power from your pre-amp’s phantom power.
I cannot say enough great things about the Cloudlifters. Completely made my (and the student’s) voice tracks sing. Killed any preamp hash/noise.
Certainly helped – however, the majority of the on-air problem was ill adjusted input/AGC/Limiter settings at the final processor.
I disabled the AGC and put the input at 0; lightened up on the limiter thresholds, but upped the ratios as a pre-failsafe limiter; using the final clipper as a fail-safe for operator error
sounds a ton better
