Update?

[Dj Buik]

Can i install this latest version of VAC over any Breakaway version without problems?

I have a license for VAC.

Yes, it installs as its own driver separate from Breakaway Pipeline. You can use both at the same time as well, no problems. You can even uninstall Breakaway Pipeline manually in Device Manager without problem UNLESS of course you’re using Breakaway Audio Enhancer which will only accept input from one.

so in theory i could use vac or use both to process 2 seperate sources through the same breakaway instence?

you don’t need any more than 1 vac or 1 pipeline to do that… they both are multi-client on input and output on all of the APIs they support (wave/mme, ds/directsound, ks/kernel streaming)

Rumours,

Well yes, and they are both tru and false…
On another forum i discovered some photo’s of another breakaway version, and since i was at the IBC last September i tried to have a chat with Leif himself about this.

So what became clear to me after the chat we had…

1. Leif has no obligations to Omnia in terms of software licences.
2. Leif has ideas to update breakaway, but there are some other priorities regarding another hardware omnia box.
3. The future hardware box is an lika an Omnia .9 but less control, and possible somewhat less loudness. (but much cheaper)
4. There is a possibility breakaway will get an update Leif quote "yes, i definitely thinking about an BBP update with more control" unquote

So lets wait and see when Leif is willing to give us what were all been waiting for….

Kind regards,

Jeroen.

With the risk of sounding negative…
Except for no.3, I got the same answers during IBC 2011 when I talked to Leif. I really, really hope Breakaway doesn’t take the same route Octimax Streamsolo did.
Leif also needs to keep an eye on Hans van Zutphen’s Stereotool which is developing really fast now.
