congrats. 🙂 google code is great, i’ve run a few projects on it in the past.the best advice i can give you to start out with is to change the link to your sourcecode page in the navigation to point to a wiki article instead… And then to copy the content from the normal source page, to that wiki article, but NOT the clone button.
If you have the clone button available on your sourcecode page, people (read: newbs who couldn’t code their way out of a paper bag) will spam it and make clones like crazy.
btw, this only applies for Mercurial, not SVN, so you’re OK for now. 😉 But it’s still a nice thing to do, cos then you can add all kinds of extra information on it.
Also another trick you can do when linking to the pages is to add tm=[tab_number] on the URL, like so:
http://code.google.com/p/edcast-reborn/ … gelog?tm=4
And it removes some of the internal navigation for that given section. That helps it look more like a real source/etc page.Cheers. 🙂

PS profile doesn’t require any decoder changes at all, so if the decoder supports HE profile, you’re good.[quote author=”michi95″]Jesse, have you tried the free FhG V4 CLI encoder yet ?
@ CBR128kbps I prefer it (for my ears it is even better than LAME 3.93.1).[/quote]
I haven’t tried it. Now that I’m not the Chief Engineer of the #1 net-radio in the world (for 2.5 years straight) I don’t spend nearly as much time doing that kind of thing. 😉I would be interested in stats, if anyone does some blind ABXing.
These little guys are probably your best and cheapest bet…

You can find even the 8GB ones for that price and cheaper sometimes, when a special deal comes along. (on a site like w00t or some such)The killer app… is that you can change the stock firmware to: http://www.rockbox.org/
8)
So really, any small cheap player with a decent CPU that supports RockBox… is what I would recommend.
Assuming you already have EdCast running in Breakaway… have you also created an mp3 encoder in EdCast yet?
Next I would change from mp3, to Vorbis.
[quote author=”kthelen”]I’m using Live for protective limiting before the stream. I always assumed that was important, if not necessary. Is that not the thing to do?[/quote]
It won’t provide you ANY additional headroom. At all. Originally the AGC was put before the link because of noise, but now with digital links, that use is gone. But even with analog, it’s never been possible to get more headroom.In other words, if you are running a device (analog or digital) loud enough where the input audio will clip within it, then adding a device before it to prevent that won’t actually add headroom. It’ll only add noise, and the "distortion" of altering the dynamics. (sometimes good or bad, that’s not what i’m discussing now)
The only solution is to give yourself headroom with thoughtful engineering. Give yourself a good 12dB peak of headroom on the inputs, when you’re playing an already maximized CD. Understand what I mean?
it depends on how it’s coded actually. for this to work, the plugin has to specifically look at itself’s filename, and then have that filename checking as part of the ini (or xml etc) loading. in other words, there’s much easier ways to do the loading code which ignore the filename of the executable. luckily Leif (and many others) already have their own code to make this happen, and like to use it in projects where dll files get loaded by other things.
[quote author=”richardphelps”]I had an old version of enc_aacplus.dll dated from 2006.[/quote]Wow you’re in for quite a large improvement in the sound quality too then. Enjoy.
[quote author=”radiorio”]it is a 90% rewrite[/quote]cool, can’t wait to see how organized the code is this time around.
[quote author=”radiorio”]sourcing DNAS v2 rather than emulating it 😉[/quote]i have some fun stories to tell you some time.
[quote author=”DjSmoothOrl”]I’m still not sure why we can’t get a Winamp plugin for Breakaway Live.[/quote]
Mainly so Leif doesn’t step on his feet before he has a chance to get them out the door.
There’s this new software
http://omniaaudio.com/fxe
but unfortunately its biggest con for me is that it’s not Leif’s. Undo is much too good to not have in the picture for file processing, eventually. 8)in the midbass, which is where the kick definition is at, there’s an easy rule of thumb… if it’s muddy, there’s little dynamics, if it’s punchy there’s lots of dynamics.
so basically… you’re setting final drive too high for the amount of bass you’re getting, and for the amount of punch you would like to have.
makes sense?
It’s one of my factory presets in the Omnia.9, unchanged. Planning to upload song clips from a 60 minute MPX recording Leif sent me last night. Tomorrow, when I have time, maybe. Sooo busy right now.

This isn’t a reference tuner, and it’s somewhat DX. 8) "Normal" dual side band, with RDS.[quote author=”Modulator”]… And why isn’t that lossless or even in any better quality, my ears bleed because of the artifacts ;([/quote]
The artifacts are from the syndicated show, probably MPEG2 on sat. Leif recorded the MPX for me, and I edited out the talking/commercials/imaging (and more than half of every song) to protect the innocent.[edit]I have some new MPX airchecks of it, I’ll have to render and edit them down soon. The tuner used is calibrated better on these too.[/edit]
[quote author=”Modulator”]No, I meant are there any streams that could be using O9 😉[/quote]
Possibly, but not that I know of.[quote author=”Audio”]@ Jesse, would it be possible to listen to a couple of different tracks in one file to check the consistency on a cut to cut basis?[/quote]
Yes.I’m thinking about sharing a torture test of it soon. When it’s final final. (it’s close) As Leif put it… it has the same shade of rose colored glasses as ["that analog box"].
[quote author=”Modulator”]So, where can we listen these test stations? Streams?[/quote]
It’s up to the stations that get an Omnia.9 if they want to tell anyone they are using it or not. As for the test FMs, that’s even more secret.
