Thanks for the answer! I didn’t knew livelink is also pushing back the audio to the host application, i thought it only transported the audio directly from the host to BBP.
I only question if SAM is not putting his own audio into the soundcard instead of the audio sended back through livelink. Mmm i am now testing it, it is actually working! If i close BBP when SAM is playing SAM is playing his own audiostream, when i turn BBP on BBP’s output is pushed into the speakers.
Then i am keep using Livelink instead of the Pipeline. I can also use the new registery modification for the pipeline (to stop the hackling and stuff), didn’t try that one yet. But Livelink is still using less CPU capacity as the pipeline.
I am still wondering why that is the case
Edit: Correction! It appears to be the onboard soundcard that is eating 25 – 30 % CPU power of my AMD Athlon X2 5050E processor. SAM and BBP and are using together only 10 – 15% of the CPU power, along with Windows Server 2008. But i turned on only the necessary processes, so everything is optimized for low CPU power. BBP is running at full capacity (maximum quality) 😉
Strange that a onboard soundcard uses that much CPU power…
Well, i use a standard on board HD soundcard (from realtek). I have installed SAM Broadcaster and BBP on the server. I am using livelink to transport the sound to BBP, and in BBP it’s configured like this:
I am using the edcast plugin with the lame encoder inside to transport the audio on to the web. That is all working fine. But as you can see the speaker output on my soundcard isn’t producing any output…
On that output my FM transmitter is connected. The settings in BBP are right for the L/R output, it has to put the output to the speakers (and edcast, but that part is working fine).
If i am using the pipeline instead of livelink, then BBP gives output to the speakers and edcast. With the livelink it is only giving output to edcast. I could use the speaker output in SAM, but then the audio isn’t processed by BBP, so that is not an option. I find it very strange that there is no output on the speakers when using livelink.
Do you need to know more details?
I know "dubbelposting" is not allowed, but i really need an answer… Are you still alive Leif?
I hope somebody has a good solution for the problem. Otherwise i have to connect the FM transmitter to the mixing panel, but then i can’t listen to my tuner at the same time i think (that one is connected to my mixer too). Maybe with the alt 3-4 output. But it’s not ideale at all.
Good stuff Leif! It’s really an improvement, especially on rock music and 70’s / 80’s stuff. You don’t hear it that much on dance music, but that kind of music doesn’t have a wide variety of tones. An exception is trance music, you can hear it working well on that too
The Breakaway updates are released faster as you can imagine 😆 I haven’t been on here much for several months, and then you have to read a lot on here to keep track 🙂
I was planning to ask what the noise reduction option exactly did, but it’s already explained in this topic… so i keep my mouth shut now
I have posted a new version of the BBP manual, see the top of this topic
I also changed the download locations, you can now download it from the servers of one of my websites… forever!Leif, good work again to further improve BBP! Still have to buy myself an ASIO card to use for the Live shows (and BBP ASIO), but that comes in a later stadium. Just bought a Sennheiser HD 25 II headphone, and i love it 8)
Also Studio 26 Radio is relaunched in a short time… legally and of course with BBP running as sound compressor / limiter for the stream!
Hey Leif 😉 I am still living too!
Does the new version also reduce CPU capacity more? Or does it not make any difference with the previous version? I don’t know if i am going to upgrade to the new version, because it’s 100 dollars and it reduces the sound quality a bit. Of course the latency is lower, but for my nonstop music server it doesn’t matter what the latency is.
For my live pc it does matter, but i guess it’s better to use breakaway live instead of BBP then? I have no live shows at the moment, but i am planning to do this in the future when my station is running legaly.
If anybody is interested in hearing my stream with BBP, send me a pm. I don’t do public broadcastings anymore, because of the high license fees that have to be paid.
With the right configuration the Orban 1100 sounds great as well
I would love to have one, it does save on the energy bill i guess instead of BBP. Only i can’t afford a 1100 and i can afford BBP 😉 But i guess BBP sounds just as good…It takes 1 or 2 days tops. You can already use the trial version, only with a commercial every hour. I had my code voor BBP within 24 hours.
