Winamp switched from CT to Fraunhofer in version 5.62. Google for version 5.61 and grab the aac+ encoder from there. Good luck!

Here's the link to 5.61 from FileHippo:

This may not be the best, informitive answer. But the best advice I ever heard was, "use your ears". I'm partial to Rustonium. I've also learned that jamming power up to 100 and lowering the drive to -3 or -4 is a very nice sound. But only you can determine what sounds great!

Good luck and welcome!

Even freebie Winamp and freebie SQR Crossfading plugin will do good transitions, nearly perfect in most cases. I was using that for years until I was able to invest in Station Playlist, a more robust and complete radio automation suite.

Again, I’m curious to know what settings and presets you are using and if you use any effects or outside gear to process your audio.

Thanks!

I think Leif is an incredibly talented and all around good guy… But this extended "absence" really is starting to feel like an invitation to start using Stereo Tool… It’s a sad thing because I love putting my loyalties towards a product that I believe in and easily recommend to many others. I still have a thread of faith that at some point, I will come to this forum and there will be a new sticky post that says Breakaway 1.0 (or whatever). But when Stereo Tool Basic with Declipper is $119… it’s hard to stay away knowing that it’s alive and active and being constantly developed.

I really love what I have in Breakaway Live and have no complaints. It works incredibly well and I have no issues with it. I’m not even interested in new presets or anything, just the Undo feature is making me drool! My buddy who works at an FM station here in my home town got an Omnia.9 and it’s outstanding and no one on the dial sounds as great… There’s a station that’s got an Omnia.11 and it’s nowhere near how good the 9 sounds.

I guess what I’m lamenting here is that Leif has to do what’s right and best for Leif. And we can only assume that Breakaway isn’t. I wish he were more forthcoming and open about it so we can all really decide what to do. If he said it’s due 4th quarter 2013 or 4th quarter 2020, at least it would be something. If he said that he has no further plans at this time for Breakaway, then we’d know something.

I mean nothing against Leif as a person, as mentioned, I think he’s a great guy and very, VERY talented. And we have to respect his need to do what he must for his own well being.

Thanks for a moment of free expression.

Was actually listening to your station a little earlier here in the UK…

Thanks for listening!

So the player has to be able to recognize the replaygain tag…. hmmm.

I wish there was an MP3Gain-like tool just for WAV files. Lossless and batchable.

I left all defaults except the LUFS. Changed it from -18 to -23 and while it helped a bit, all my meters still go all pink. Should I just keep lowering that setting? Any other settings I could fiddle with?

Thanks.

What are your recommended settings for this tool?

For MP3Gain, you recommended 85db for the target level.

What about this tool to get the same, optimal levels?

Thanks.
