I am GM/advisor/instructor at a college station, and the previous regime used StationPlaylist – we are moving to a renovated classic building with new studios next year. It is solid software, but being a teaching facility, I will probably upgrade to WideOrbit or RDS to give my students a more "real world" automation experience.
ANYWAY – I really like Breakaway Broadcast – I am just using the audio processing functions, as we STL to a final processor (that I now only use for the Clipper and an extra fail-safe limiter for operator error). I have been reading some posts regarding StationPlaylist and Breakaway Live as a plug-in, I believe? I am assuming those people are streaming only and using a plug in post Breakaway for streaming.
I have two questions
1) is there a breakaway plug-in that I could use in StationPlaylist to get the audio processing rather than running Breakaway Broadcaster on my automation machine?
2) we use a company to host our website; I currently run my automation to the broadcast console, as we also have a couple of live programs, and then STL to the xmitter. I use a distribution amp to split the console signal to feed the STL, a logging computer that records the live generated programs, and another computer to send the complete broadcast to the hosting company for our Internet stream. Could I accomplish the same thing in reverse by running my console into StationPlaylist via an AudioScience sound card, using the "mic in" switch in StationPlaylist to get the live programs into the automation computer, and using the Edcast plug in with Breakaway Broadcast to get the broadcast to the hosting company?
The website is http://www.southernmissradio.com
Thanks – I hope someone can make something out of my rambling!
I must assume since I have had no replies that if I set up my automation software using the instructions for people that stream that it will run the same way using a sound card/traditional set-up with StationPlaylist.
I had seen that thread, but was not sure if things might be different for someone that uses a different method to stream – I guess if I am not streaming, following the other instructions will allw me to use the software as a plug-in under station playlist
Good Morning,
I really like the station…sounds great. Hope I can help, since no one else can:1) is there a breakaway plug-in that I could use in StationPlaylist to get the audio processing rather than running Breakaway Broadcaster on my automation machine?
you can only use the plug ins that can bypass the soundcard. You can download those at:

You’ll see ones for breakaway broadcast. you load it into the output plug in list and you’ll be able to go directly to BB, but will still need to run BB on the pc.

You could go that route but I think there might be a delay for monitoring purposes. I know I get a slight delay which makes it tough to listen. But using edcast in BB is great.
I would leave Station Playlist, mics, etc through the board and input that to run BB on a seperate PC for processing both STL, logging and then the edcast plug in for streaming. I think maybe Edcast might have a setting to log audio that runs through it as well. That might help.
Hope that helps a little!
