Hey Joe.
I am running breakaway AE from my win7 x64 box since about a week ago and have had no issues. Mind you, I’ve reduced win7 down to looking like XP/2000 and have all the extras turned off.
I’m running it on a p4 HT 3.0ghz with 4gb ram. and running through an audigy 2zx PCI card.
Never had that problem you mention.
I imagine this post isn’t directly beneficial, but an instance where it does work.
Thanks.

All default except
Power: 65
Bass boost: +5[/quote]Thanks!

One reason I settled on using the Reference Classical preset. No apparent boost in the high end.[/quote]mind sharing the rest of your settings?
I think all you’re talking about is good. You can always have one live instance running and registered. It’s not machine specific. You can have a backup that’s not activated (demo mode). But the system will not let you activate any more than one instance or installation at a time.
Jesse, confirm?
Thanks.

You should be able to get it down to 2 buffers each, then just tweak the size until your jitter stabilizes around 10-20% or better.[/quote]
I don’t recommend doing this if you’re trying to get stable (at all) sound right now. Find out where the problem is, before tossing more wood on the fire. 😉[/quote]
Yes, listen to Jesse! He is wise.

First thing that pops out its the speed. Keep everything at 44100 khz. Check the main config file in edcast to make sure its set to 44100 as well.
Cuz, why not??
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P40TP1ughek[quote author=”Audio”]We will amend the jingles levels, but the dilemma we have now is to which level (?) since we have uncompressed musical tracks at all kinds at level as well.
Upon checking, our jingles are sitting at around 0 dB and so are some of our tracks (say Oasis) but we also have some tracks sitting closer to -10 dB (some Coldplay, Evanescence, etc.).
So which dB level would you recommend we normalize our complete library to? The reason I am asking is that I am unsure whether bringing up the levels on the -10dB tracks will hurt the audio quality of these tracks? To which level would you recommend we normalize our library to?
Thanks,

Assuming your uncompressed tracks are .WAV, you can find a tool called wavegain ( http://www.rarewares.org/others.php ) and use it to bring all your audio to the same level. I’ve not used wavegain, but it’s partner, mp3gain has a default of -89db. Jesse recommended I lower that to -85db for what would be industry standard. If wavegain is the same, then I would recommend levels like I mentioned. You don’t need to be anywhere near 0db, as you wouldn’t have any headroom.
Hope that helps.
Someone correct me, but what he’s describing sounds like the processor’s AGC is lowering the output during the jingles (ducking) and once the next element comes on that is at a much lower volume, the AGC has to try and bring back the audio to the desired levels. If the processor’s ultimate goal is to provide a consistent sound and your track to track volume is so different, you’ll get that response on all but some of the fastest and loudest presets, like New York or Eruption, etc.
When I do live shows, I don’t use a mixer so I just amp my mic up quite a bit so that it ducks the music in the background. Sloppy? Yes. But with my available equipment, it does ok. I’ve had to experiment where to set the mic’s volume so that it doesn’t totally obliterate the music so that when I "hit the post" the processor doesn’t have to recover and the opening vocals are still drowned out.
Hope this helps.
