Hi,
Does anyone know where the last stable version of BBP has gone? The only version available now from the website is the highly unstable 0.90.95 which causes no end of headaches whereas the older version It was either .78 or .87 which used to be downloadable from the website is gone.
I’m in the process of setting up a machine for a client and purchasing BBP but the machine is going into a remote location and .95 simply won’t do as it has the stuttering issue. The older version was always rock solid.Help me please..
March 22, 2012 at 2:03 am #13116bennylein1985Memberfor my opinion, the last release likes stable.
you know the sys req??
a clean isolated win2k or xp is needed.so if you have problems tell us about it.

March 22, 2012 at 3:20 am #13117wjustinmartinMemberI have had stuttering problems with BBP and Live- have to reboot after 72 hours or so.
I have disabled all of the throttling stuff in the bios – I guess it could be video card conflict, or something else. I love it, but the unpredictable "Dubstep remix" on air sounds horribly amateurish.
March 22, 2012 at 8:57 am #13118yorkie98ParticipantThank you Bennylein1985, I’m well aware of the sys reqs. I’m a professional broadcast engineer and a veteran of this forum of several years. I’m usually one of the people giving the technical advice on here.
There has long been a known issue with .95 version of BBP which did not happen with the former "stable" version which used to be downloadable from the website. This affects some people and not others and as yet, a solution for everybody has not been found.
A fix for this problem has been waited on for over two years but this was not a problem as I would only install the website version on client’s machines and these have never given a problem.I have found on my various machines a .79 a .91 and .92 versions as well as .95.
I think maybe that the .79 version is the one I need. Hopefully this old version will still work with newer reg codes.March 24, 2012 at 5:36 am #13119bennylein1985Memberthis problems happens not at the asio version, right ?
March 24, 2012 at 11:59 am #13120Joop KrauthausenMemberi’m sorry to say it.. but your both right.. the last version is stuttering on slightly inferior machines.
The older ones work on almost any machine.So yes.. i would like the old ones to be downloadable to.

Processor and RAM unfortunately only tells you half the story…
The motherboard with all it’s I/O’s and bottlenecks for example is one to take a good look at, so is your power supply. I’ve had good C2D’s running circles around ‘cheap’ i7’s in terms of stability and overall real life performance…March 26, 2012 at 8:48 pm #13123wjustinmartinMemberEither way, that machine should be capable of running the limited amount of software it runs and not have the stuttering/dubstep effect, right? When I run Latency Mon, I show only the Audio Science card and the ethernet port having any latency at all.
I get the stuttering with Broadcast AND Live – there must be a software conflict with the video driver or some other issue.
March 26, 2012 at 9:13 pm #13124MilkyKeymasterHere are the facts. "Off the shelf" laptops are built to run office applications and simplistic Windows sounds. No thought is put into optimising audio, video or any other sub-system. They simply provide a range of day-to-day tools. Unless the laptop is a purpose-built gaming machine, which includes specialised audio components and a LOT of effort put into maximising performance, it is almost inevitable that some bus-hogging will occur.
What Joop and radio oude stijl say still holds. An i7 with heaps of RAM but a badly designed motherboard architecture will always be out-performed by a better designed i5 or even i3.

March 27, 2012 at 8:27 pm #13126JesseGMembernotified Leif of this problem, again.
March 27, 2012 at 11:35 pm #13127AnonymousGuestCome on guys… Are you still bielieve that Breakaway will update? See the truth. The experiment was succesful. We was beta testers (and the paradox was that we paid for it). Now Breakaway is closed to a "box" and traveling to Las Vegas (NAB)… The new version no longer belongs to leif but Omnia.
Leif has to write a message for over two years, with the excuse that he don’t have time. However he is uploading photos and other stuff to his facebook profile. Do not be surprised if sometime this website does not exist. All lead there. Some will remember what has happened with previous applications of the same author.I hope I’m wrong…
March 28, 2012 at 1:13 am #13128JesseGMemberIn both cases previously, that happened because Leif didn’t maintain 100% control over his creation. This time, that is not the case. Nobody retains any rights to Leif’s creation besides Leif. Omnia & Leif are making some money together by releasing it. So is Linear Acoustic, for a decade now. Leif has had hardware boxes with Telos Alliance for almost twice as long as Breakaway has been around. Boxes which almost completely dominate the digital TV market. It was because of that success which allowed Leif to do hobby products like Breakaway. In reality, the success of Linear Acoustic boxes are the reason Breakaway exists. Why would the Omnia.9 do the opposite?
Worry if you want, but let’s keep this thread on topic. There’s other topics with plenty of worry to post in.

Linear Acoustic web guy/s are actually who’s hosting/sysadmin on this website now, so it’s on them that these files aren’t available. I told Leif about this months ago, when I discovered it myself, and he told them. Totally inexcusable screwup of service, I agree.
April 12, 2012 at 10:42 am #13129RodeoJackMemberI’m running 90.95 ASIO on several machines. 5 of them are on stock Dell computers with solid-state drives in them. They run 24/7 and I’ve had no problems with them at all. Matter of fact, they are good examples of Leif’s very early posts about how to build a machine you could just set up and forget.
That said, I can understand… sort of… the feelings here. It would be nice if Leif would pop his head in once in awhile.
On the other hand, I’ve seen the feeding frenzy that goes on at Stereo Tool. People there are just never happy with what they have. There just has to be another upgrade or all is lost and Hans is the bad guy.
Not sure how you win at this, but the product here is sure a good one.
