I could build one with a beta or release label right now, but it won’t be tried and true like the current alpha-labeled version is, as it would be brand new, built from my constantly-changing codebase 🙂.
Really, the label doesn’t mean anything. I’d definitely use it myself if I was a DJ.

Silverfox, please find the link to 0.90.05 in the breakaway dj thread near the top of the board. I’m on my phone – no copy and paste. 🙂

Hi Dennis,
Did you set the realtek to run at 192k? If the card is running at 48k that would explain it.
//Leif
I’ve got a better idea, why don’t you buy an Aero.air from Linear Acoustic for your TV station? It even has the full control you keep requesting.
If that’s out of your price range, ba live will do a decent job as is as long as you’re broadcasting stereo. Use LIGHT processing like Ref Settings.

Hi Yorkie!
I anxiously downloaded and listened to the cut, but it actually didn’t do it. I hear no glockenspiel in it (only perhaps xylophone) and most importantly, it only works if the glockenspiel is (mostly) alone. If there’s enough other stuff in the mix, the distortion will be masked, and probably sound OK through most clippers.

The alpha is stable and the upgrade to release version is free, why wait? If you want it now you can have it now.

[quote author=”celar”]HA- The Omnia 11 page even goes into detail about Kelly Clarkson "Because of You". (An oft-visited topic on this board) Apparently that’s everyone’s favorite.[/quote]
Actually Frank is the one who originally told me about that song. Breakaway never had a problem with it though – if ‘my immortal’ and ‘electrical storm’ both pass, so will kelly.

[quote author=”sigmacom”]In case you increase to -3dBFS without changing the "Input level = -12dBFS" at the exciter, you will overmodulate. If you think it’s necessary, I can easily add a deviation limiter – to be completely protected.[/quote]
If you do, please make it optional.. I certainly wouldn’t want it 🙂.

[quote author=”Dj Buik”]Can someone explain this whole thing in simple english please?[/quote]
I’ll try. In a Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) transmitter, all the work of generating the FM carrier (RF signal) happens in software, and is output through a D/A converter. Every step before is purely digital.
This means NO tilt issues, NO eq issues, NO signal loss, NO hum, NO overshoots (provided that the incoming digital MPX signal is overshoot free). It is the most accurate way to go from audio processor to broadcasting antenna, with literally no compromises.
Can a traditional exciter sound as good? Yes, absolutely, but it’s much harder to achieve. DDS makes it easy to have perfect sound and peak control.
For comparison, can a cassette tape sound as good a $20 CD-player? Yes, but you need a new metal tape, and you’ll need to spend several thousand on the tape deck, and make sure everything is setup correctly. Even then, it will only sound as good as the $20 CD-player for the first few plays — as the tape degrades, so will the audio.
Digital rocks.

Listeners don’t see the outside of the box, I think they did the right thing by focusing on the inside 🙂.
///Leif
Exactly…. DDS is the best FM we will ever get, and it also opens the door to single-frequency networks. The future of FM is looking pretty bright.
//Leif
Whoa, welcome Frank! Wasn’t expecting to see you here 🙂
How’s east wind and everything else?
Thank you very much for the MpxTool acknowledgement!
Can’t wait to hear your new box. I’m in vegas already so maybe it won’t be too long.
Best regards,
///LeifThe BADJ std feature set is pretty much done, will add more presets and convenience features like toolbar and keyboard cmds though.
There will also be a pro version with 4 decks, mic processing (karaoke mode) and timecode vinyl support.
Std will be upgradable to pro, too.
///Leif
[quote author=”Milky”]So is BADJ going to become the "poor cousin" just because you designed it for big speakers in "DJ" venues?[/quote]
Definitely not! DJ has many features not available in any other Breakaway product, and it will get more presets over time. There’s no point in releasing it on the same schedule as the broadcast products though, as that would take time away from actual Breakaway DJ feature development!
I do intend for Breakaway DJ to be "the only Breakaway you need" even if you’re not DJ’ing at the time.
However, I do have to be very careful about what presets I put in, because if I included all the broadcast presets and features from Live, it would have to be the same price of a 2-instance Live, and then it would be too expensive for casual DJ use.

I thought I did 🙂. What are you missing exactly?
Best regards,
