Would be killer if you could change the settings in real-time, instead of setting, playing, stopping, re-setting, playing, etc…
A few updates. If you’re using the Fixed Edcast from Club Rio, you no longer need NSCRT.dll or the VS2005 add-on. Bass.dll is part of edcast as well (I might be confusing the dsp version with the standalone). He’s also added some killer functions to it such as attenuation per encoder along with several fixes to the code. All that detail is on his site as linked above.
The biggest benefit to the attenuation is that you can run your MP3 stream at full volume but can cut the AAC+ streams by the 2db as discussed before here, to avoid clipping.
We also need Jesse to repost his Best for MP3 streaming version of Lame Encoder. I believe 3.91 but don’t quote me.
Thanks for this though, it’s invaluable for us stream-heads!
http://www.cloudbroadcaster.com gives you up to 25 slots up to 192kbps FREE. It’s based on CentovaCast stream management. They also have some pay scales for more slots. This is pretty cool for the money!
Live is your best bet as broadcast has extra features that while needed for FM broadcasting are not necessary for streaming and can actually lower the overall quality. In the internet realm, there’s no loudness wars or overmodulating to eek out that last few inches of coverage. You want to sound consistent and clean. Not loud and crunched. That’s just my 12 cents.
[quote author=”Th3_uN1Qu3″]To make what JesseG said clearer:
I would go for an AMD processor at this moment. The performance difference is minimal (i have both) and AMD is much easier to upgrade in the long run. Imo Intel really screwed up with the i series, come on, 3 sockets for 3 CPUs that are made from the same building blocks? [/quote]The only thing I would add to this is that Leif has described in his posts many times that there is code in Breakaway that takes advantage of specific functionality/instruction sets only in Intel CPUs. So I would stick with an Intel.
I’ll give it a go… As far as my understanding… Bass is just a volume slider for how much bass you want or don’t want. The bass Shape is to curve the boost or decrease of bass higher or lower on the spectrum. If you want louder mid-bass, you would raise the bass shape if you want to get louder lower bass, you lower the slider. There’s tons more to it than that, but I think this is about right.
My interest is peaked (piqued?)! I’m always looking for the best sounding audio. Jesse, Leif and a number of you all have really guided and taught me a lot about quality. Face it, it’s why we’re all here drooling over what Jesse says will be "jaw-dropping"!
If you could really come up with some compelling evidence as to which player is "best" I’m game to changing. The only caveat would be whether the victorious app would be compatible with winamp plugins….
Thanks!
Thanks, Jesse. I don’t know what I was thinking. I swear I looked around and couldn’t see any actual DLL files. I see them now in the plugins folder.
Guess I was high or something!
Thanks!
[quote author=”knigget”]Where are people getting their codecs from?
I think a sticky for ‘get your codecs here’ would be a great idea also
[/quote]Except for the latest versions of Winamp, you could pull the enc_accplus.dll from the winamp folder. The Lame encoder is posted up on a sticky by Leif and Jesse called something like Best for Streaming MP3 something-something.
By the bye… now that winamp has somehow embedded the aac+ encoder, where’s a good place to find newer ones as they are made available?
[quote author=”Guillou”]Same question as JesseG : HE or PS ?
An other question. Have you tested the modified version of edcast ?
http://users.tpg.com.au/radiorio/
This version would improve PS… I haven’t tested it yet.
Edcast doesn’t seems to be developped by his autor…[/quote]What is "custom" about this version of EdCast??
For music, AAC+ is pretty much the way to go for lower bitrate. Down to 24kbps is still really good sounding.
Compatibility is hardly an issue anymore as for the past year or so, iTunes has supported AAC+ streams. So you have Winamp, iTunes and a number of flash-based players that can all play aac+ streams.
Good luck!
