[quote author=”bennylein1985″]i never will put it on the air .[/quote]
then what are we supposed to take away from this topic?
Several problems…
1. At 100% modulation, you DO end up with over 100% audio before demodulation, but those peaks are not just incidental (program willing), but usually dissociative energy. Ala…..
2. Noise. Everywhere. Even in the pilot, causing above 20% pilot modulation.
3. The peak control is lost somewhere in what you did, so you’re taking a big hit in the peak intensity you can get. About the same loss you get from RDS (on a processor without a composite integrator like Omnia.9) with only the benefit of a few peaks above 100%, and you’re lucky if they are important to the music at all. As noted before, the thing going on here is creating a ton of noise, so you’re basically only getting random luck it’ll actually benefit the audio. So basically… It’s detrimental to the audio, vs just having normal 100% mod / 100% audio.
And this says nothing of compatibility with radios, and whatever you did here. Mainly i would be concerned with that crazy pilot, but … actually transmitting that much noise would be an excessive waste of power & licensing. 😉
That’s a weird question, since a flavor of Leif’s work actually is an Omnia now.
That being said, presets that are supposed to emulate certain boxes only even partially work out if the original gear isn’t adjustable. Or else you’re trying to copy something that never has a bullzeye. 😉

Why don’t you write down certain aspects of Omnia processing on air that you like (actual stations you can tune into and reference), and then try to match the preset & meta-settings with whatever best fits your processing goals. You could fail to sound like a specific station, even with the same box on the air. Keep that in mind.
even compared to the 8100/XT, the new processors sound like there’s been a dozen or so blankets removed from the speakers
you skipped the step of setup where you were to change your default sound card to the breakaway pipeline 😉

One thing that helps somewhat is the Noise Reduction control.[/quote]
You may or may not know that this control
also adjusts where the downward expander thresholds are at for a preset. Lower it for less gating, raise it for more gating.It could possibly be incorrectly configured soundcard mixer routing, within the soundcard driver’s software. More importantly, do you hear audio when the audio routes the same path *without* Breakaway. If you’re still hearing audio, then it’s obviously being routed *also* in some other way.
That’s really the conclusion that I think we already have come to, it’s just a matter of *where* it’s coming from. The first place I would look at is the routing of the soundcard driver’s mixer/routing software. Second place I would look is to see if there’s any other software using any soundcards on the system.
have you tried routing the audio through a "Breakaway Pipeline" virtual soundcard that is installed with Breakaway? You don’t need to use the Realtek, and it’s one less bit of hardware to get in the way / fail.
Plus the Pipeline is 1:1 bit accurate. The Realtek + SPDIF (jitter) is likely not 1:1 bit accurate, at least some of the time, since the Audiophile 192 isn’t double-reclocking the SPDIF input. And lord knows what the Realtek is setup to do by the motherboard manufacturer.
If you’re not also using the latest version of whatever Breakaway you’re using, then you might have a version from before 64 bit OS was supported by the 64 bit version of the "deskband".
It would be great. 🙂
CPUs need to still be more efficient, battery storage needs to go up (without the size increasing), and any platforms targeted for porting would have to support a system-wide audio effect. Android does, but iOS doesn’t. Android also already has more than double the market share in "smartphones", and basically complete dominance of new tablet sales.
Are you using a 64 bit version of Windows? Are you use the latest version of whatever Breakaway flavor you’re using?
you may be routing an output back into an input??
hard to say without seeing how the audio is routing.
What I like to do on normal use systems, like laptops or home desktops etc… I’ll have Breakaway cranked, and set the speaker output level to as loud as it’ll go without distorting. Then use Breakaway to control the volume, and since maxed in Breakaway is right before distortion happens, it works out pretty nicely.
I also almost always use the toolbar, so that I can control breakaway volume from the taskbar. You just right-click on the taskbar, go to "Toolbars" and you should see a "Breakaway" toolbar matching whatever flavor you’re using.
