Thanks Leif,
The station I was comparing to was full Stereo and I didn’t really notice a drop in level when switching tuner to Mono.
I did notice when you switch BBP to Mono it compensates by raising the output though like you said.
It’s probably fine, there’s obviously a problem with old Sony Car Radios, like Camclone said because it makes even some of the big stations sound awful!
Sgeirk – I don’t use Winamp
Camclone – I don’t have a clipper in the exciter/link & funny enough, it is an old Sony radio I’ve been listening to it on in a car. Modulation isn’t over 75khz and I think it has locked 1.5 Mhz away from our frequency on occasion….. 😯
I have my eye on a few Tektronix Scopes on ebay but they’re going for £120-200 here in the UK, still isn’t bad, I will be purchasing one.
I remember seeing a usefull guide that you wrote on converting an M-Audio 192 card with extra capacitors for perfect tilt.
Is this guide still online? and what are the benefits of this? I use the card for music production in the studio (recording etc..)
Would this benefit me on my recordings? 🙂Makes perfect sense now…my Asus board (P5KPL-AM) already had perfect tilt. Thanks
I can’t use that tool to check for PEQ roll off can I? 🙂
Got the square wave working now, I had to tilt it to 27 to make it straight.
On the next test where you use BBP to generate the square wave to test the output under exciter load, the square was already perfect.
So do I just set BBP output tilt to 27 now?
You’re very close celar, but not quite, here’s what you do….
You run Breakaway Live as your main processor then you Pipeline it to BBP, using only the 6db Clip preset.
This allows you to add EQ’s etc before the clipper by doing so in BBP effect chain.But as JesseG rightly said, this still means you have to buy 2 licences, costing a total of around $330 so it does work out pretty costly just for the software! 😉
Having said that, I have just thought of a sneaky way of doing this, I’m going to try it first, but I’m 99% sure it will work! 😉
Already tried it with £700 VST EQ, the multiband in BBP just kills off any changes, the only way you could get this to work is by using the 12db or the 6db Clip presets only, in BBP. Then the audio becomes very flat added with some distortion, especially in 6db mode.
[quote author=”Leah Fortescue”][quote author=”celar”]Many of BBP’s presets are "almost perfect, but I want a different EQ".[/quote]
This is exactly how I feel. I know Leif plans a full-control version, but is this a possiblity for the regular Broadcast version? If you could just provide controls to adjust the multiband output mix, I would look no further.[/quote]Yeah, I agree also…..Although the on-board presets are good, I sometimes feel like ripping my hair out becuase it needs a little more of this and a little less of that (sound-wise) for my own personal tastes!
Also Leif, I know you’re a busy guy but any news on those Tilt & PEQ tests for those (on-board ASUS & Sound Blaster) cards, maybe that could cure my lack of top end problem. 🙂
That kind of makes good sense….
So if you feed BBP into another PC with a perfect tilt sound card and you run MPXTool you can adjust for EQ roll offs?
This image taken from the BBP website is showing no roll offs but if it did, you can compensate…right?
