Something is brewing. You’ll probably hear us teasing stuff and screenshots when it’s close enough to start biting your nails. Save up some protein till then. 😉
As large caps as used in that mod, they might get you a pretty respectable peak control in the bass. Not fully DC straight, but you also won’t have that 200mV offset, which is most easily dealt with by a large cap. It’s the first thing I would try, if there’s no way to get rid of that large offset.
lol, wow that sounds horrible. there’s almost no bass, because it’s getting swept up in a phase tornado or three. it really does sound like phase tornado.
personally… my opinion (formed from tweaking the #1 station online, backed up by a real-time statistics package with over 50 patents pending on it), I think this is the kind of sound that drives away listeners, and it’s not just the "bass" or phase tornado. the rest of it is over processed and the treble is distorting and "searing" pretty badly too.
it that’s what you want to do, then phase tornado will help you.
link not lost, just not found, until now. 😉
http://mpxtool.com/site/hardware-mods/3 … 2-mod.htmlI learned my lesson about not trash talking products, only saying what is technically facts, a while ago. The hard way. It was the time that I said "Our Barco wall makes these Daktronics look like shit wiped on a portable DVD player." at the Fargodome… without knowing one of Daktronics main engineers was literally 5 feet away from me, in the same circle.
When I realized what happened, my face got more red than any O-face I’ve ever made. I felt like a total asshole. And I kinda was. Ever since then, I am very careful about that, even in private… unless I really really trust everyone who is around. It’s not worth acting like this… technical facts are always better than opinions, if you are trying to convince someone. 🙂 And of course – what I said was highly exaggerated. And Daktronics is actually a way better value than Barco.
Good to see more radio companies around here, Aareff person. 🙂 Hope you hang out and enjoy our silly processing talks too sometimes. Cheers.
Hmm, Phenom 9500 is actually 8% slower than an Athlon64 X2 6400+. I would still go for the quad though, for daily use. =) I even compared HyperThreading on/off (8 and 4 "cores") and 8 cores was smoother, even under 50% CPU used. The more the merrier in a modern OS.

It’s an old platform though, so you’ll probably have better luck finding something cheaper on eBay. You’ll knock a bit off the price by removing the Radeon HD 3000 onboard from the picture too. The HD 2400 XT your system came with is considerably faster than the HD 3000.
If you have the cash, jump all over this:

the Z68 chipset is awesome, plus most of the latest ASRock features, Win, win.Or $30 cheaper
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6813157233But those only run i7/i5/i3:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6819115078In order to run a Pentium like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6819116401You’ll need a lower-end chipset board, and the only decent one meeting your spec for now is a reference Intel board:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6813121503Personally… I would go for the i3 on one of those ASRocks. If you factor in the cost of a GPU (the Pentium doesn’t have one), and that 1600mHz memory is a bit cheaper now (not that you couldn’t run 1600mHz memory on a 1333mHz slot), you come out at almost the same price.
It’s normal. Any filtering of any part of the spectrum will cause loss of peak control when there’s signal there getting filtered out.
I would guess because it’s limiting inter-sample peaks. But… I didn’t think Breakaway Live limiter did that. :< Do you also have the high pass and low pass filters disabled?
[quote author=”Dj Buik”]Breakaway Broadcast
Airomate RDS
Breakaway Live (ASIO)
OtsAv (audio mode only)[/quote]You should be fine. BBP itself will just barrrrely run on a P4 3.4gHz. The G620T should be more than 3 times as powerful (i wouldn’t be surprised if it’s 4-5 times as powerful). In comparison to BBP, Live, Airomate, and Ots all use a small fraction of the CPU. So yeah, you should be well under 50% with all of that.
Actually… we just were, for the last 5 hours, screwing around, having cross processing sessions, and remote DXing from USA/German connection, yeah boyeeeee. That quiet station was only hitting 50kHz peak modulation, lol. It sounded great otherwise tho. Definitely NOT part of the loudness war. 😆
Anyways, tune in now. 😛 We’re done messin’ around. lol
Well reCAPTCHA didn’t work at all. Trying a question/answer thing now. They shouldn’t be able to get around it unless they send someone to do it manually, which would normally be able to get around a captcha (hopefully) anyways, so… we’ll see what happens. Please any other mods/admins post here if you get a spammer that you ban, since we’re trashing the messages too. And please see if they joined AFTER this post, so we can confirm they got through Q/A or through the captcha from earlier. =) you get it.
If you’re using it strictly for voice, then you should check out Voxformer
http://www.voxengo.com/product/voxformer/It’ll very cheaply give you the "voice of god" on the air too, hehe. But yeah, the 4 band spectral gate in it would do a decent job on playback too, and it can be used by itself. Good double purpose.
It’s not free though. I don’t remember seeing one that’s free and multiband (or good). It’s only $70 right now, which is an extremely good deal considering a hardware analog processor with even half of the capabilities are $300+ and a comparable digital unit doesn’t even exist yet at any price (and there are several multi-thousand $ units out there)
Try the demo. 🙂
As for reverbs on Windows, this one is KILLER at any price, it’s a true algorithmic reverb, and it happens to be free. 🙂
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4063301/epicVerb_1.5.rarI recommend checking out everything he’s done, it’s all stellar. 🙂
