First off, I’ve been internet broadcasting for about 8 years or so? I’ve tried everything you can imagine for processing. I have to say, Breakaway Live blows everything else away, great job Leif! I’ve been messing around with this for a few weeks and have some great settings now. It’s clean and loud with plenty of low end and very little to no sibilance. I have different genres of music playing at different times of the day/week, and this handles them all very well (minus a few crap mp3’s I’m still weeding out). Your source audio is critical for good sound obviously. These are my settings, feel free to listen in if you like at radiospinnaker.com:
Plutonium
Peak 0
Final -01
Range 70
Power 29
Speed 34
Bass -1
Shape -2HPF 30
Bandwidth 16I’m using clunk/slam but have them at 0
NR is on, no stereo enhancerI also turned the input down to keep it peaking in the "yellow"
EdCast out
Cheers!

I went for dynamic peaks instead of generally loud all the time as that wears me out quickly. It’s still great volume output but if someone was looking at a spectrum analyzer, you wouldn’t see all frequencies smashed at peak. That could be obtained by turning up the power a bit or increasing the final drive. I really hate sybillance (sssss sound) so that’s why I chose to keep the drive low and closer to the source audio sound. I like a little bass ‘pop’ but that could be easily tweaked with the bass shape most likely. Thanks for the feedback!
That what you want "Rustonium" is much better choice. Plutonium is not intended for that from start.

Tried that, didn’t like it. I still want a little punch in the sound 😀

Trying out Rustonium, I do like it better after I dialed it in a bit, thanks for the advice Boki 😉

Sure, no problem:

And Rustonium is better in that 🙂[/quote]Now that I have my audio chain set up correctly and the settings where they should be.. all I can say is "WOW". This program is absolutely amazing. My 32k aac+ stream sounds as good as my 128k stream. If you’re reading this and wondering if Breakaway Live is worth the cash, I say to you absolutely!
My question, if this is just for streaming, why use HPF and enable bandwidth limiting at all? Why not shoot the moon and sound as full and complete as possible? No need to filter to protect a transmitter anywhere…
What is the rationale?
Thanks!

I don’t like excessive pumping and noise in my stream 😉
Ok, learned some things by reading the forum posts (a lot). So much great information from Leif, Jesse and many others here, I think it’s great how much people are willing to share for people like me to learn.
Most important, input levels need to be the same! ❗ mp3gain’d all my tracks to 89db and got rid of a normalizer plugin I was using on the input side. Big difference. New setup that seems to sound good on both my hits and classic rock streams using plutonium.

Even though I’m somewhat addicted to the output sound of Plutonium, I’m sticking with Rustonium using the settings in a few posts above this one. It just seems to handle a wide variety of music more consistently.
