All good, I appreciate it! It doesn’t do Metadata. I was fiddling with it, though. And it worked otherwise. Thanks!
I would also love some LUFS! Output/Input measured/controlled by LUFS, they’re all the rage these days.
My main reason behind asking for this DSP/VST plugin version is that it would integrate very cleanly into Station Playlist, eliminating need of any Virtual Audio Cable or extra “hops” in the audio path. Eliminating risk of over/underruns and other dirty SRC type activities…
I totally understand this is a silly request because it’s built entirely as a stand-alone software tool and is likely too “big” or “complex” to be squeezed into a package like a DSP or VST plugin… But they asked for requests/ideas/suggestions and this is one of those, for sure!
I would also submit a request to make this available as a VST plugin. VST2 32-bit, specifically, you can do vst3 and 64 bit too, but in my use, it would have to be vst2 32-bit.
So, this is already a thing, you pay $79 to add the Streaming Module shown in the Extras HD section on the Buy page: https://www.breakawayone.com/buy/
Few things: Output level control on streaming encoders. Currently, they appear to be on 0dB. Modern codecs need a little headroom, like -2.5dB. I think there’s adjustability in the custom encoders, but you lose functionality like metadata.
Also allowing sending 48000 Hz on streaming encoders (whether it’s auto-sensing, or there’s a setting offered)
These both may be able to be resolved by more tightly integrating the streaming encoding section with the main program, as far as setting up the I/O with bit rates, bit depth, and sample rate.
Modernize the entire framework for OS compatibility as well as hardware, such as new CPUs and other such elements.
Update the BA Pipeline to match up with current version of VAC, which has a lot of tweaks and improvements for the current windows audio system
I removed the -x switch in the command line and it worked! Found this bit:
-x
swap bytes in the input file (and output file when using –decode).
For sorting out little endian/big endian type problems. If your encodings
sound like static, try this first.I added the Lame.exe to the breakawayone folder and now the custom encoder enables but all i hear is white. noise… so odd
When I use that command-line (it’s there by default), it fails to enable. It’d be great if the program was setup to automatically shift the codecs to the appropriate sample rates… This obviously isn’t a huge issue as moving form 44.1 to 48 is not a major game changer. But a lot of audio in radio is moving to 48k/24-bit.
I remember getting that version through Leif or JesseG directly back in the day… But Not sure why it wasn’t published…
Can we confirm that 3.19.84 is the latest “legit” version that’s available? I know there’s other versions “out there” I just have this one and think it’s the latest. Let me know.
