It makes no sense to use anything but wav files ripped straight from cd. You keep the original quality and storage the days is just not an issue.
There’s tm century and msaoldies.com for library material.
I, for one, do not recommend Edcast, if you can use an actual Flash encoder or SOS from Spacial Audio, you’ll be better off.
Edcast IS NOT STABLE. When you least expect it, it will barf on you. SOS runs for years without any issue, especially if you’re just using it to encode and not using it to do any higher functions like ad insertion…even then it just runs.
That said, Leif has teased us with his Leifcast which he says he’ll never release…darnit.
What is the solution to this, by the way? I did notice when A/B’ing BBP with an O6 that some v/o over music spots got swallowed by the music through BBP, but the v/o popped out with the O6. Not all, but some.
There’s some obvious solutions, I realize…curious to hear from you.
I used Arianes in front of our Harris Intraplex units in a major market and they did a flawless job, particularly on Oldies. Optimod 8100’s need something in front of them to sound competitive, if going old school is your thing, the Ariane is just what the doctor ordered.
I don’t think simplecast supports AACplus, and I had a bad relationship with Spacial’s SOS4 software.
We have been thinking about demo’ing SAM broadcaster so we can take song requests via the internet on an internet stream we have, I’m more than reluctant.
BBP is not an audio scrubber, it’s a high powered audio processor that, like an earlier poster says, takes a magnifying glass to the audio. Garbage in, garbage out…except on the output the garbage becomes MUCH more evident. Clean audio…clean output.
Thanks, and I’m quite serious. Someone take my money and let me buy Leifcast!!!
I need an alternative to Edcast.
Depends on what your format is, but I’ve asked this question before, and it really makes no difference what setting you use as far as masking any of the artifacts. Plutonium is a swiss army knife for a lot of different styles of music, the noise reduction sounds amazing. You’ve really got to go out of your way to make BBP sound bad.
I would GLAAAADLY pay money for something that can be run as a dsp plugin inside Breakaway that is more stable than edcast for our streams.
We need just need to stream two 32kbps stereo streams 1: aacplus 2: mp3.
IMHO, Edcast has stability issues.
And since this is yours, I would imagine it is superior, and of course, more stable!
This setting could be fine for the internet, who knows? But for FM broadcast, one really needs to be aware of what effects overdoing it has on mono compatibility. You just can’t overlook what it might sound like in a partial or full blending situation, much less flat-out mono.
