putting the file in your system directory isn’t the same as installing it. first off there’s lots of registry settings it puts in, secondly it’s not supposed to be directly in the system folder anyways. it’s part of Windows new localization features for libraries called "Side By Side" (aka SxS) so…
you need to actually run the installer for the "end user runtime" 😉
if you go to microsoft.com/downloads and search for "end user runtime" you’ll see them all listed mostly under "visual studio" or "vc++"
version 10 is aka Visual Studio 2010
version 9 is aka Visual Studio 2008 😉
version 8 is aka Visual Studio 2005
version 7 is aka Visual Studio 2003
version 6 and below corresponds with the version numbers of Visual Studio. But you will find very very little that’s compiled with anything under version 6 since a long time ago.cheers
If you have ASIO4ALL installed, you might need to completely remove it, I’m not sure how you have the config for that setup, if you have that installed.
That warning will come up when something on your computer is using that audio device.
Another thing you can do to try to remove the problem is to set the default soundcard on the computer to be Breakaway Pipeline 1.
Finally… you don’t need to set a second input for Breakaway DJ if you’re not sending any audio to Breakaway Pipeline 2.
it works here, make sure you run the actual installer for edcast pointed at your breakaway folder…
also might want to install all of the latest VC++ runtimes from microsoft, to make sure it’s not one of those.
[quote author=”timmywa”]Don, use the built-in jitter measurement tool to get your buffer #’s and size down to the lowest size while maintaining under 20% jitter. There’s some posts about this in another thread, I think up in a sticky post. Not sure at the moment.
You should be able to get it down to 2 buffers each, then just tweak the size until your jitter stabilizes around 10-20% or better.[/quote]
I don’t recommend doing this if you’re trying to get stable (at all) sound right now. Find out where the problem is, before tossing more wood on the fire. 😉
Where does SPL get the clock it uses for its audio outputs? That would be the first thing I would try to figure out.
[quote author=”silverfox”]Now waiting for 1&2[/quote]
You must have just joined us then. 🙂 You’re welcome.Also, I know Leif doesn’t have a blog (maybe he should) but it’s been posted a few places that are not visible or high priority enough… that Leif has essentially been "in the bat cave" for almost the last 3 months developing an improved framework for all things Breakaway, and that it’s one that will most likely go un-noticed by everyone at first.
The thing that will be noticed by everyone is if it lives up to its goal of allowing Leif’s time spent working to be much more efficient. From everything I’ve seen, it FAR surpasses that goal. In fact it makes a bunch of new things possible at such a fundamental level, that we’re (all of us commoners) probably going to see some new products come out of his new framework.
As far as updates to features in the already existing & (i shouldn’t have to mention) insanely cheap product lineup… I personally don’t see much coming down the line other than new presets, and improvements on the core’s audio quality. But as I mentioned above, I would expect some new products & new add-ons to existing products.
I’m sure Leif thanks us all for being patient as he’s kicking ass. 8)
The core actually has Range controls; one for the Downward Expander, one for the AGC, and one for the Multiband section. The core actually functions that way, so there’s no need for it to mess around with anything else.
The Range of the AGC and Multiband are adjusted with that meta control in the GUI. The Range of the Downward Expander doesn’t get adjusted, but the thresholds do in relation to the "ITU Input Ref Level".
[quote author=”mick heaphy”]some of my songs are lower than others so maybe should i just have the power at a high setting but not the range?[/quote]
power and range both effect the total range. i can’t really say though, there’s too many variables. just take it slow and do what sounds good. if it distorts too much, try turning down the final drive half a dB at a time, and wait for some hours before you make another decision. and when you get really close, wait for a day. 🙂I don’t know that this is possible without using virtual machines, because the license for each breakaway "type" is kept in one location (within Windows’ registry) for that specific type.
The license with CEAudio would have to be updated to allow more than one instance, or you would have to run additional instances in virtual machines.
[quote author=”mick heaphy”]i’m sure this has been asked all though i didn’t find anything. what would be the recomended dance presets for breakaway broadcast? was thinking french kiss newyork and putonium and amsterdam? but i’d say newyork would be my favourite so far. i’m looking for base but don’t want to cancel out everything else for it. newyork gives me the sound but i notice a little distortion on some songs. what would be the recomended settings for this preset? my basic settings are, power range and speed at 20, base and base-shape at 0 and final drive at 0 and pre-emph at 15. suggestions would be welcome. as to which preset and settings i should use. thanks[/quote]
Well at default settings New York is already at the edge of how loud it should ever go. So if you’re changing settings that make it go louder sometimes, without reducing the final drive, then there’s your problem. 😉
Actually, there’s a v0.90.96b available.
You should be able to reference the "latest versions" topic to always have the latest. Good for when the versions update, and these eventually old topics don’t.
[quote author=”Captainfirst”]1- Does the demo expire, or do I just keep getting the bypass every 30 minutes?[/quote]
I’m guessing you’re talking about BAE. No it doesn’t expire. I’ll move this to the BAE forum since this is most likely about that. Nothing else has a bypass trial.[quote author=”Captainfirst”]
2- I have a slight stutter on some songs- I should make some sort of adjustment to latency, right?[/quote]
Correct.[quote author=”Captainfirst”]
3- What presets do you good folks recommend for a late 70s-early 80s AM radio sound?[/quote]
Maybe try French Kiss with the bass turned way down, see if you like it.There’s several affordable plugins out there that get really close to that sound.
But since it’s working against the grain of creating a sound that translates well to lower end playback systems, and it is also working against the grain of reducing peaks while getting the average loudness up (if that’s the goal)…
I really doubt that’ll ever be in Breakaway.
One of the ways that Breakaway does bass peak control is through clipping which generates harmonics upwards to a point… so any extra peaks would just be getting clipped more and turned back into the harmonics that generated them in the first place… potentially (and quite easily) causing the original bass to become less solid sounding than it would have otherwise.
It depends on the track, the subharmonics, the broadcast processing, and how loud it’s getting pushed.
