[quote author=”JesseG”]Can’t wait to hear Passive Aggressor on it. 🙂[/quote]Me too. 🙁
But honestly spoken, I believe that before we (ordinary users) hear Passive Aggressor in a Breakaway release the following things have to happen before:
1. A Yeti that rings my doorbell.
2. A Bigfoot becomes the republican (! – though this might be an intellectual progress in comparison to George W. Bush) candidate for president of the United States.
3. A bunch of dozen vivid tasmanian tigers will appear in the Royal Park Golf Club in Melbourne (!).
4. The RMS Titanic (radio Callsign "MGY", UK Official Number: 131428) will pass the Statue of Liberty.

Live could be so easy with Passive Aggressor
(Leif, it could be so easy with Passive Aggressor) !
I fear that after all these (wonderfull !) betas, Leif wants to release something that is stable for ages (up to Windows 9).
I hope my grandchildren will be still alive the day when Passive Aggressor arrives.

But, seriously:
Thank you Leif
and thank you Jesse
for all your work !
When Jesse teased us a few months ago with some Passive Aggressor samples, it seemed as if it would only be a question of a few days (or one, two, three weeks in worst case scenario).
So, no doubt the next release will be a real blockbuster.
Sorry, I am (others maybe too) just like a child that cannot wait until it is Christmas (but this statement is not meant as a free ticket to December 24 or 25 for the next release). 🙂

[quote author=”Dr.J”]Sorry, but I prefer it the way it is. For the very seldom times I need to look at the toolbar, I want it to give me all the information I need at that point in time.[/quote]I do agree.

@ stfn

But you could disable this whole Breakaway toolbar thing and use the freeware alternative Volumouse to adjust the volume.
➡ read this:

(right bottom – it only appears while you adjust the volume !)

[quote author=”Boki”]….and one pipeline. Just connect it.[/quote]Sorry, Boki but your answer is misleading, because you need two pipelines !

Step by step:

Shutdown Breakaway Live ! (important)
Go inside your Breakaway Live program folder and run "BaPipelineConfig.exe".
In the left corner on top you have to set "Cables" to 2 (press "Set") !
Exit BaPipelineConfig !
Start Breakaway Live.
In the I/O configuration select "Breakaway Pipeline 1" as input.
And as output "Breakaway Pipeline 2" !

Then inside your audio recording software select "Breakaway Pipeline 2" as recording input !

Realtime recording is the only way to do it.
It is not possible to do batch file processing like with other Winamp DSPs and Winamp’s filewriter output plugin, because Breakaway Live works as a system wide audio driver and not as a plugin.
Many have asked for a batch file option, but this would be another product with another (much higher) price.

[quote author=”uncontrollednoize”]Now, I am hopeful that ‘Passive Aggressor’ may help since it is a more ‘open’ preset, but in the mean time, does anyone have any ideas or preset settings that can help?[/quote]Have you the OB preset option enabled (introduced in version 0.90.95) ?
[quote author=”Leif”]Obsolete (previously deleted) presets can now be accessed. Edit the INI file, and in the [Master] section add ObsoletePresets=1[/quote]

Try this one:
OB Moon&Spoon (I call it "Active Defender" 😆 )
Final Drive: + 2.0 dB
Range: 20 (or 10)
Power: 73
Speed: 30
Bass Cut: -20
Shape: + 50
Roll-off: 15 ( or 20)

The usage of Roll-off is very important, because without you have an high frequency overkill !

For me this tweaked OB Moon&Spoon is the best alternative while we are waiting for the next release with Passive Aggressor.
We have counted the days.
We have counted the weeks.
Now we are counting the months.
I hope that we won’t have to count the years ?

@ ndo5085

Do you use version 1.30.2 ?

Important:
Please do a screenshot of your Breakaway Enhancer main window (with oscilloscope activity) !

Have you installed any additional Breakaway Live, Broadcast, etc. trial version ?

[quote author=”JesseG”]I made one 3 days ago that automatically continues despite the 30 minute "limit"[/quote] 😥 Jesse, you are a bad boy.
I really hope that your special friend won’t read this confession.

I am sure that Leif would never ever do such a criminal act. 😆

But I tell you a secret:
I don’t care about this 30 minutes limit, because I have convinced FIFA-Godfather Sepp Blatter, that starting with last 16 round all games will be paused every 30 minutes (3×30=90 minutes). 8)
First he refused to do it.
But then I have explained to him how much more money the FIFA (Sepp Blatter in person) could earn with this little change to the rules of the game.

But seriously:
Ok, it’s better than simple EQ notch filtering, when you compare it.
But I doubt that for this purpose of unvuvuzelaing such a rough, complex but somehow chaotic audio source, 99 % of (ordinary) listeners will hear any difference switching from one method to the other.
The four notch filters remove the vuvuzela noise very good.
And the additional unwanted frequency removal is very small (not technically, but for the human ear).

So even if Sepp Blatter will break his word (3×30), I would not try to crack this 30 limit (the truth is: even if I wanted it, my programming skills are too limited).
But:
I have noticed that Leif has used some Octimax code for this ! 8)

My conversation with Sepp Blatter was very inspiring for both of us !
