[quote author=”TRININIT”]The main idea is to insert BBP as a VST plungin in my favorite audio editor to check "how it’ll sound on the radio" ! 😉[/quote]
A valid idea. I think there’s a lot of people using Breakaway System and Breakaway Live to do this… routing the mixed audio through Breakaway. But just because a track sounds good on Breakaway doesn’t mean it’ll sound good on the radio in general…
at least not until Breakaway takes over the world.
The presets will first be out in the next Breakaway Broadcast update… which should be getting released today or tomorrow. Followed by being included in the next update to Live, whenever that is.
8)I’ll leave this thread open for those who want to comment on the two presets when they are available. 🙂
I’m sorry too Erwin. I have to realize that people are coming from all different angles, and have to be educated sometimes "from the ground up". Usually by the time someone gets to "play" with a processor of this capabilities, they’ve worked their way up to it. Breakaway opens this world to an entire new level of users. So I’m sorry for getting "short" with you. 🙂
I also wanted to post and let you know… there is a release coming either today or tomorrow (depending on what all Leif has to finalize) with two presets that I think you’re really going to like a LOT.
8)[quote author=”TRININIT”]What about doing a VST plugin version ???
It should be great for mastering job..[/quote]There will be a mastering clipper in the future. But that’s it. Multiband *ANYTHING* in my humble opinion should NEVER be used in anything one would dare to call "mastering".
Some people who rely on cheats like that which RUIN albums call it mastering. But it’s just not. I’m probably one of the most diabolically obtusely opinionated people you’ll ever meet, when it comes to dynamics. Because of being a career radio processing and mastering engineer. 😛
In radio, I’m always pushing for the absolute latest in the bleeding edge, for quality and what will allow for that extra little "edge" against the competition.
But for mastering, I’m an absolute purist. I have literally *never* used compression on a single master that I have ever done. Just protection limiting, if I’m forced to (i usually am), and no more than 1-2db peak RMS limiting, ever. And yet…. my work ends up sounding almost as loud as ANYTHING else on the rack. Ruining the dynamics is clearly not the answer to the loudness puzzle.
Anyways… I’m glad you found Breakaway. 8)
Sounds better for sure. I can also tell which mp3s you have that are encoded with Fraunhoffer, which cuts off almost everything above 16kHz, even at 320kbps. 😛 It’s quite a crappy codec compared to Lame.
This isn’t related to what I hinted about, but… I thought it was cool to post all the same as I’ve already said it was done. I searched through my archives and found this video 🙂

I told you Leif was too modest.
And yes, the machine starts up THAT fast.

Cool, that works great. It’s too bad the relays won’t use the same stream id, or that their relays are not public, because they don’t cluster on shoutcast with your stream. Oh well. 🙂 Sounds nice.
Hot tip for you:
Get this lame
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jfe1205/LA … 3.90.3.zip
replace the lame_enc.dll EdCast is using now.Open the config file for the encoder profile, change these values like so:
code :LameQuality=0
LameLowpassfreq=19000
LameHighpassfreq=0
LAMEPreset=12…and you should get a higher quality stream. With that codec and those settings, I’ve done 128kbps streams that sound better than the 192kbps you have right now. So your 192kbps will see a jump in quality without a doubt. 8)
It was done with a development version of a newer backend which now became the currently released "efficient" backend. And yes, the slope was changed a bit because when the cutoff was set to 18kHz it was getting even more dangerously close to the pilot – but still filtering to stop-band levels (under -90db) before 19kHz. 🙂 But yeah, the low-pass was indeed set to 16kHz at the time.
[quote author=”Erwin”][quote author=”sebastien.wittebolle”]Thank you leif , the last version 0.90.66 run with lower cpu usage on my system.
With my pentium dual core 1,8ghz , 30% of usage. 😉
you can hear the result here : http://91.121.21.176:8704/listen.pls[/quote]
Sounds very, very good! Also very loud. Which setting do you use?[/quote]I wish you had better bandwidth. It’s basically impossible to listen over here in usa.
there IS no setting or sound that "sounds like an Omnia" because an Omnia can sound like a million different things. You can not make a sound and say "this sounds like an Omnia" with ANYTHING. NOT EVEN AN OMNIA CAN SOUND LIKE AN OMNIA.
Instead, you must know the kind of sound you want to get. If you can’t describe the closest thing to the sound you are going for, and what it is missing, then there’s no way anyone can help you.
For title streaming to work from a program that isn’t Winamp, it has to support pulling from the Winamp title (if you’re even using winamp) or some some other method like pulling from a file, or a database. The former is how EdCast is able to have titles from a different host.
[quote author=”lpy”]It’s listed on Shoutcast…only a quarter of the listeners for now though until my bandwidth issue is fixed.[/quote]
Possibly, but if someone can’t find it by typing in your name, it’s as good (or rather bad) as not being listed.[quote author=”lpy”]Tuner2 found us a couple of years ago, so that’s cool. Xiph I’ve never heard of, might have to look into that one.
Cheers[/quote]
Yep they run a YP. Steamcast also runs one.quote :Unfortunately, there weren’t any SHOUTcast radio streams found containing the term Clubbers Radio. Please search again.But then I tried Google:
http://www.clubbersradio.com/I suppose that you guys should probably be listed on Shoutcast, no?
[edit]Yeah, not on xiph either. you are however on Tuner2.
[/edit][quote author=”sneradio”][quote author=”buffalos”]1st:
As we already discussed by e-mail, the title streaming option (encoders) does not work.[/quote]
Leif,
FYI: Title streaming works great with Edcast.[/quote]EdCast is compliant with Winamp SDK, and sounds great.
Shoutcast is not compliant, and sounds…. not great. 😆
ASIO4ALL just provides a virtual ASIO driver, and then uses Kernel Streaming (or MME, if your card can’t do Kernel Streaming) to relay it. So it’s actually not ASIO at all, in reality.
Actual real ASIO is a very very low latency method of accessing soundcards.
If you try Kernel Streaming directly within Breakaway Live, you’ll probably get a much lower latency that ASIO4ALL can get you. Imho ASIO4ALL is not very optimized, not to mention all you’re doing is adding another 2 more layers of buffering for no real reason.
Try KS and tell us how it goes 🙂
