You should have the pilot level at ~8% in BBP, and you should be using the "MPX Output" I'm assuming both.  Have you tried including or not including the pilot with the RDS coming from Airomate?

"Stereo (L/-R)" is simply flipping the polarity of the right channel. "Mono (L+R)" and "Mono (L-R)" are showing how the two input channels are combined into one, via sum or difference.

While using the Breakaway pipeline as the output, I'm hearing a warbling or rapid "wup, wup, wup, wup" type sound in the audio which is otherwise fine, which I'm not hearing when I use the audio card (Digigram) as the output.  I've tried numerous things to solve this, but haven't had any success.  Anyone know of a simple cause/solution?  I have tried changing the sample rate, buffer size, buffer count, etc. with now success.  I have also tried using PCM and DS instead of KS.  This is a Dell Optiplex system running Windows XP Pro with a 2.33 ghz Intel core 2 duo, 2 gb of ram.

What is connected to the other end of the pipeline, and are you able to change the settings on that as well?

The config doesn't have a bypass, nor a manage anything within it.  Are you sure you're looking at Expert Mode of the config? It's a button on the bottom-left of the Wizard version of the config.

That being said, you should make your computer's default soundcard one of the "Breakaway Pipeline" soundcards, reboot the computer to make sure that nothing set to use the default soundcard is still using it.  Then you can try setting the soundcard, and optimizing latency, in Expert Mode config.  I highly recommend "KS" Kernel Streaming to access the soundcards, as you'll be able to get lower latency and ~guarantee a 1:1 bit accurate output from Breakaway's (multi-phasic adaptive) SRC (or you could use it without SRC, but I can't recommend that, even though I don't use it myself).

For some settings on a large-scale system…
preset: Reference Movies
range: 25 (higher if your input is less than -18 LKFS)
power: 100
speed: 15
Try Reference Jazz if it's still too processed sounding. 🙂 I used to "run" a 180kwatt Turbosound setup, so I recognize that even with these settings, it can potentially effect impact.  REAL punch 😉 not the complete opposite that most people call "punch" these days.  But those settings should be pretty bangin'.

Please send pics of Breakaway @ your FoH with a sightline in the background some time. 🙂

BAE doesn't keep track of changes between presets like the other products do.  It never has.  Plus… those are just the front-end meta-controls, and those only drive algorithms that effect a few (among hundreds of) settings in the actual presets.  All of the presets are built into all Breakaway products, within the EXE file, so they cannot be removed or lost; and you already said "every preset" so I'm guessing all of the presets are still there and can be loaded.  You're just confusing the functionality of BAE with the other products, when it comes to the front-end meta-controls.

The settings in breakaway for the card say you can do 192 right?  When you press "Test" button in Breakaway, in Kernel Streaming (KS) mode, does it have success or does it fail?

The presets in the upcoming Breakaway products are going to be decently more quiet for the FM/AM versions, since they can always be doubled in loudness by increasing drive.  The presets for Live, DJ, Basic (formerly known as Audio Enhancer), and Home Theater, will all have much less signal levels into the final limiters as a default.

If one (like me) hates peak control, the closest they can get now with the current presets is:
preset: Reference (take your pick/preference)
range: 25
power: 100
speed: 15
and to use Reference Jazz if it sounds too processed for your needs.  use Reference Settings if it doesn't sound processed enough; but if you hate peak limiting, you probably won't like the increase in sounding processed either.  If there isn't enough AGC happening, increase the range slowly till it settles at the top when your (hopefully) loudness normalized sources are at their average relaxed yet loud parts.  Be careful not to have too much range in the Multiband, or it can sound un-natural, and create an increased risk of not handling bursts.

Some of the presets for the upcoming Breakaway products are very transparent, even in comparison with the above settings.  🙂
