If you bought a second instance of Breakaway after buying the first one, you need to enter your new authorization code. To do that you go to About Breakaway and right click on the OK button, that will give you the option to remove authorization code so that you can enter your new one. If you want to buy a 2nd instance you’ll probably have to contact Leif, since I don’t see the option in the store right now, but maybe I’m just missing it.
Leif,
It seems to me you took bass out of the Rock preset! I liked that one because of the little extra low end there was in it 🙁 It’s too bright either way, but I could deal with that…edit
I put the Bass-EFX plugin back in my system and it feels better now… So I can live with it.The easiest workaround I can think of, is to not monitor using ‘AIR’, rather ‘CUE’. Enable the Cue output on the same sound card, turn off air and put the decks you want to listen to in Cue and Air at the same time, you won’t hear processed audio, but you won’t have to listen to your mic delayed either. The delay through SAM and listening off the "air" while using a microphone have been an issue with SAM for a long time.
Your setup looks good, just need to change the Voice FX destination in the Voice FX configuration panel, it needs to be Mixer (record to pipeline), not sure why it is right in the mixer and wrong the Voice FX panel, I thought they were tied together.
@jameslawson – You need to set the Voice FX destination to "Mixer" otherwise it won’t go to Breakaway.
If you use the Air out in SAM you will hear the BBP processed audio… but BBP won’t feed the L/R out when using LiveLink, I suspect (Leif can confirm) it’s because Livelink interrupts that path and feeds it back to SAM automagically.
You just need to send the air output from SAM to your sound card, you don’t need to send it to the pipeline, LiveLink does that automatically for you before the air output.
If you’re using Livelink then your air output doesn’t need to feed Breakaway Pipeline. If you’re feeding the Breakaway to your sound card, then it would probably tie up the sound card. As I understand it, Livelink bypasses the pipeline, you only need to select the pipeline in Breakaway as a placeholder. Unless you are using your sound card for something like feeding an FM transmitter, you don’t need to feed Breakaway directly to it, you can feed the processed sound via the air out in SAM directly to the sound card.
Leif,
just wanted to make sure you were aware. I didn’t even think of Jesse’s suggestion of 2 different folders for BBP, I may try that. No hurry on the fix, I can work around for now.Thanks!
Jesse,
The problem is BBP uses 1 config file to load the plugins for all of the instances, so if I have plugin1 & plugin2 in instance 1, when I go to Instance 2 I have plugin1 & plugin2, even though I want plugin3 & plugin4 for instance 2.All instances of BBP use the same EffectMuxer.ini and EncMuxer.ini INI files for the effect and encoder plugins. The 2nd instance of BBP needs to look to a file name such as EffectMuxer2.ini & EncMuxer2.ini, or they need to be listed for each instance in the INI file.
Try a multi instance of BBP, load plugins in the 1st one. Open a 2nd instance of BBP and look at what plugins are there, it will be everything that is in BBP1, change the plugins in BBP2 and reopen BBP1, and the BB2 plugins will now be in BBP1.
Hopefully that makes sense…
btw, love your work on the presets.
Jesse,
That preset sounds real good, but it’s missing the high end smear from the composite clipper in the other recording 😀Love your work.
Short answer is Winamp and other players do not supply de-emphasis, you will want to turn de-emphasis on for the L/R output of Breakaway FM or your stream will seem excessively bright. Using the pre-emphasis/de-emphasis before/after your multi-band processing will give you the advantage of a trick FM broadcasters use to get their stations louder, yet still maintain a bright sound.
Leif,
Thanks, the version I updated with yesterday has been running for almost 24 hours non stop. I understand it’s beta and I expect that there will be bugs, but love how it sounds and I was just disappointed I was going to have to go back to the old processing. Breakaway just sounds so much better, I would buy it today if it was available for purchase…
