This is true, but wasn’t Linear Acoustic there? Well, they will be this year.
I was listening for a few hours today, and had a few other people tuned into the uplifting vibes too. Good stuff 🙂 from your neighbor in MN 😉

You might try using the quarter inch outputs. They are +4dBu outputs… that’s 14 dBv more than the RCA outputs !!!
Are you using the RCA outputs or the quarter-inch TRS outputs?
If you’re using the TRS outputs, are you using TRS a balanced TRS input? Or TRS into TRS cable that goes unbalanced at one end into a TS? Or just TS into a TS?
And what is the impedance and dBu (-10 or +4) of the device you’re plugging the Juli@ into?
Honestly, this sounds like a Vorsis AP1000/2000. And imho it sounds like crap. You can make a better sound than this. 8)
Uhgg, had to stop when the Lady Gaga came on. How can people listen to that sh**?
[quote author=”guidebook”]You’re right Alexey, but I think Leif asked that on a technical point-of-view, not on a "main source" p.o.v 🙂[/quote]
And he sort of answered his own question. That clip WAS recorded from that WIndows Media stream. Not off-air. 😉Getting a sound like that (which imho again is way too compressed) is easy on DAB/streaming. Not so easy to do on FM, which is what my sample was of.
And yeah, that’s the regular original album version. I actually like the radio mix better too, just have never had it in hand.
50uS emphasis was applied & un-applied. 😛 16kHz low-pass.
This is completely lossless, taken from the album’s CD (EAC Secure), I don’t have the 12" single of this track which is where the track on your uploaded sample comes from. So it won’t sound completely the same of course, but if you played that through Breakaway with these settings I think you’ll find that it’s both cleaner and louder on air. That’s what I’m already hearing now despite the difference in mixes.
You probably don’t need to hit the clippers as hard to keep up with this other station, so back off the final drive if you’re losing clarity but are louder (you’ll be louder 😉 ). You’ll lose a bit of density (which will sound good imho) and you’ll gain a bit more bass punch.
Oh, and here’s the file:
psb-cleveland-overloaded.flac"pure" and "pleasant" are not words I would use to describe what you uploaded, but I’ll have a try with one of the already included presets in a bit. Not sure why you would want to sound this bad tho. 🙂
[quote author=”ASchuelke”]I’m currently trying "New York" with final drive at -1.0, power at 60 and bass at -10. (Bass shape is 0)[/quote]
turning the power above 50 on this preset does nothing since it’s starting at Infinite:1 ratio for the AGC and multiband compressors. 😉[quote author=”ASchuelke”]It’s my understanding that by turning bass down to -10, I’m actually lowering the threshold, correct? Does this mean that the bass is controlled a little better?[/quote]
In a normal compressor it could improve consistency in two cases… if the ratio was less than Inf:1, or if the compressor was not "working" to reduce the levels "enough". But Breakaway has a few other things that are effecting it that may or may not improve consistency. It really depends on the program material. Some material is just too far outside of what makes sense to try to correct for, because of how bad it could potentially make much more other stuff sound. Audio processing is the art of compromise.[quote author=”ASchuelke”]Challenger is at 50% on all bands and is pretty close to what I’m looking to achieve. What am I accomplishing exactly, in simple terms, by having all the bands at 50%?[/quote]
Challenger will try to have the L-R signal be 50% the power of the L+R signal, per band.
You will probably want a good 6db of "Max Atten" in each band so that it can also reduce overly wide material. Without a Max Atten good enough to do this, you will lose consistency in the width. 6db is enough to reduce material that has a "perfect" 50/50 balance between L+R and L-R (in a given band) to your 50% "Target" width (in a given band).Did you go into Breakaway IO config?
Then in there…
And set the input & output settings as desired. Depending on your computer (DCP Latency) & converter, and what you want to do with the output (low latency, or higher stability)… will give you different priorities for those buffer settings.
