If the only thing you’ve changed is the playout software, then that’s where the problem must lie. If you’ve changed other parts of your system, then they could be possible culprits also. Make sure you’re barking up the right tree before cutting it down.
Dr.JMemberAs much as USB should be just plug-n-play, I’ve found it is very finicky related to the port you plug it into. With my M-Audio FastTrack Pro soundcard it will produce a lovely "white-noise" if I plug it into a different USB port that it was originally installed on. To circumvent this you can re-install your hardware on the new USB port, or just make sure you plug it into the same port each time.
Dr.JMemberThere was an issue with long "pauses" when accessing the preset/settings files of older versions of Breakaway Live. I would highly recommend upgrading to the newest version available here… http://www.claessonedwards.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1010
Dr.JMemberAdditionally, which version of Breakaway Live are you using?
Dr.JMemberTry turning off FM mode and turning up the volume (it’s currently set to -84db, very quiet by anyone’s standards). That should fix your problem.
Dr.JMemberNo worries Dave, I just couldn’t make out the "/" between the 1 & 2 on the screen shot provided. Glad it’s working for you now.
Dr.JMemberHi Dave,
Sorry if I wasn’t clear enough on the settings I recommended for you to try. I’ll try to clarify.
In the OtsAV output window (your first image), you want to select "1/2 : Breakaway DJ ASIO" for the On-Air output device.
Now in the Breakaway DJ I/O configuration window (your second image), you want to select "GIGAPort #12" for Output L1 and "GIGAPort #2" for Output R1.
This is the basic inputs/outputs you will need, so give it a shot and report back.
*** Looks like you got things worked out while I was writing this response. Glad you got it all sorted out.***
Dr.JMemberIt’s kinda hard to read but if I’m correct, you want one of the following settings depending on your needs:
1) For a single output from OtsAV, having the audio mixed within OtsAV –
A) On-Air output device = 1/2 : Breakaway DJ ASIO
B) Output L1 = GIGAPort #12
C) Output R1 = GIGAPort #22) For a dual output from OtsAV, having the audio mixed with an external mixer –
A) On-Air output device = 1/2 : Breakaway DJ ASIO
B) ASIO cue & live input:-Cue: 3/4C) Output L1 = GIGAPort #12
D) Output R1 = GIGAPort #2
E) Output L2 = GIGAPort #34
F) Output R2 = GIGAPort #4Dr.JMemberMake sure you are running the latest version of Live (http://www.claessonedwards.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1010) as there was a problem with the older version and reading/writing the settings file.
Dr.JMember[quote author=”jameskuzman”]Hi Leif –
I downloaded 1.3RC this morning onto my Acer Timeline 4810T laptop with an Intel Core 2 Solo (1.4Ghz), 4 GB of RAM and the on-board Realtek sound card. I’m running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
This is the computer upon which I have been running BAE 1.30.02 for several months without any issues.
Jim[/quote]This is an old post (Dec 2009), so if I’m correct you just downgraded to 1.30.00RC from the 1.30.02RC that you have been running for months. I would reinstall 1.30.02 again.
Dr.JMember[quote author=”winsorpd”]Hi,
Error starting audio engine:
Core 1: Unable to open "Gigaport AG"
for output at 48000hz, 2 channels, 16 bits.
Device does not support requested format, or sound device is busy
[/quote]From a quick look on the Web, it looks like your soundcard has 8 output channels. Make sure you change the output of BADJ to 8 channels so it matches, and you should be able to leave it at 48kHz – 16bits as this is also supported. I would also make sure you have the latest soundcard drivers from ESI’s website.
Dr.JMember[quote author=”JesseG”][quote author=”Dr.J”]If I remember correctly, Apple created the FireWire interface and they still use it on all their MacBook Pro’s, including their newest batch (FireWire 800 to be exact).[/quote]
It was the regular MacBook I guess I was thinking about. Apple coined the term FireWire, but it’s actually known as IEEE 1394, and I’m somehow doubting they created that and decided to make it an international standard. That’s so unlike Apple.
[/quote]Like or unlike Apple, they did create FireWire (IEEE-1394)… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_1394_interface#History_and_development.
Dr.JMember[quote author=”JesseG”]
And a final note… Apple doesn’t give a crap about the audio scene anymore despite their buying Emagic and partnering with Apogee Digital… case in point, the new MacBook Pros don’t even have Firewire on them. Sort of crapping in the face of Apogee, and everyone that uses a Firewire converter of any make or model… for probably a mere $5 more profit per machine if that. Nice, Apple. 😉[/quote]If I remember correctly, Apple created the FireWire interface and they still use it on all their MacBook Pro’s, including their newest batch (FireWire 800 to be exact).
Dr.JMemberI too think those results are too high. Here is mine running on a fairly minimal machine. It does jump up slightly beyond 500 on occasion, but that’s it.
Dr.JMemberThat is correct. I have several paid copies and none of them do any sort of pop-ups.
