Good Morning,
I really like the station…sounds great. Hope I can help, since no one else can:

1) is there a breakaway plug-in that I could use in StationPlaylist to get the audio processing rather than running Breakaway Broadcaster on my automation machine?

you can only use the plug ins that can bypass the soundcard. You can download those at:

You’ll see ones for breakaway broadcast. you load it into the output plug in list and you’ll be able to go directly to BB, but will still need to run BB on the pc.

2) we use a company to host our website; I currently run my automation to the broadcast console, as we also have a couple of live programs, and then STL to the xmitter. I use a distribution amp to split the console signal to feed the STL, a logging computer that records the live generated programs, and another computer to send the complete broadcast to the hosting company for our Internet stream. Could I accomplish the same thing in reverse by running my console into StationPlaylist via an AudioScience sound card, using the "mic in" switch in StationPlaylist to get the live programs into the automation computer, and using the Edcast plug in with Breakaway Broadcast to get the broadcast to the hosting company?

You could go that route but I think there might be a delay for monitoring purposes. I know I get a slight delay which makes it tough to listen. But using edcast in BB is great.

I would leave Station Playlist, mics, etc through the board and input that to run BB on a seperate PC for processing both STL, logging and then the edcast plug in for streaming. I think maybe Edcast might have a setting to log audio that runs through it as well. That might help.

Hope that helps a little!
