Look, I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with Linux. It’s a great OS for people who chose to use it and develop for it.. I’m just not one of them.
Having someone else do the porting would certainly work, but it currently can’t, for the following reason:
By that, I’m not saying I don’t trust linux programmers — I just don’t know any at all — and knowing of one is just ONE of the two prerequisites for giving them access the breakaway source code…

True, Jesse. Thanks for explaining it well.
The other thing to keep in mind is that it’s not at all the same thing to invent something new, and to rehash something I’ve previously invented.
Basically, if I have X number of hours available to do something, should I invent something new, or port something existing? It seems to me that spending the time on inventing something that doesn’t exist (but needs to exist) is a much better use of my time — not to mention more fun. I’m already at the absolute limit — I can’t work any more than I do.
Thus, if you want to run Breakaway, you need a windows machine, as it runs on windows. If you don’t want to run Windows on your main machine, no problem — use a second machine. Machines can be bought, and they’re real cheap nowadays. Time, on the other hand, cannot!
Also, don’t forget that there are many pro’s and con’s for different operating systems, which must be weighed against each other when choosing what operating system to run.
One big con for linux and mac os is lack of certain specialized software. It’s something that needs to be taken into account when deciding which operating system to use. It is not possible to mix and match pro’s of different operating environments — they are what they are. Windows strength really comes partly from itself — being the backwards compatible mess that it is, means having access to a vast library of applications. Some people — whether consciously or not — decide that this is not an important enough reason to use it, and choose to use a different operating system, and thus indirectly choosing not to have access to all that software. I don’t see anything wrong with that — everyone has the right to choose! 🙂

Hi Aaron!
Actually a lot of presets do. You can test whether a preset has Inf:1 ratio (or multiband) in the following manner:
Make sure you see large meters, including the numbers next to the meters.
Set range to 50, and Power to 50. Then, adjust Power to 100 while looking at the meters.
Did the numbers next to the AGC move? If not, the AGC is already at Inf:1.
Did the numbers next to the Multiband move? If not, the Multiband is already at Inf:1.///Leif
I’m sorry guys, I just don’t have the time. I can barely keep up as it is, there’s no way I could commit to maintaining another platform.
///Leif
Hi Sander!
If there will ever be a second platform, it will be Mac. If there’s a third, it’ll most likely be Linux. 🙂

Jesse, when reading his post I actually assumed it was a poor choice in acronym 🙂.
I think he meant BreakaWay Broadcast.
The coincidence might be a big of a stretch in other contexts, but it’s the only way it makes sense within the context of the post.
///Leif
Wow, nice one, Yorkie! I never would have guessed this myself, since I always install the drivers off the web anyway (been bit by buggy shipped drivers too many times).
///Leif
Hi Riplee!
Thank you very much for your patience. I wouldn’t try the new Breakaway yet — it’s not worth risking screwing up the sound again. I’ll let you know when I think I’ve fixed it.
It’s good news that it’s not the pipeline. That means I have a chance of fixing it! 🙂

The L/R PEQ settings are for line compensation, not EQ.. They’re AFTER the clipper, not before, so using it as a program-EQ is impossible — you’ll lose peak control. You really need to be adjusting those with an oscilloscope 🙂.
I do plan to add program EQ, but not in 0.90.82, it’ll come later.
///Leif
LOL, Audiostocker.. Now that’s been a while 😀.
Good luck with the setup! Please post a stream link once you’ve got BBP up and running on the FM so we can tune in 😉.

Here’s something that used to annoy me before, but which I’ve turned into a good thing:
It never fails – when you’ve worked for months on something, blood sweat and tears, and finally it all works, and you show it to someone and they complain about the colours..
When that happens, i now say "Thank you!", and of course ignore their comment. Because, if that’s all they could find to complain about, obviously I’ve done a hell of a job — everything else must be perfect 😀.
