    Hi Leaf and everybody in the forum ,

    I want to try your software for about 30 days before i decide to buy it and i want to run it continuously on the broadcast PC in order to test it..
    Is there any limitation on that?
    Any noises or cuts at the sound cause of unlicensed version ?

    Will it work on an infrasonic asio card? It 192k ASIO capable card.
    The RDS unit i want to connect will i connect it after the ASIO card output or before?

    The input will be from another pc running the automation software directly connected to the input of the asio card, cause of that i need to calibrate the signal or not?

    PS : i want to use the mpx function of the BBP software and after that i’ii send the audio to the radio link for the tramsmitter

    Thanks in advance for your reply..

    Hi DJ Scooby.

    The unlicenced version plays a short demo jingle (thru the processor) every now and then I think its about every 30 minutes (CMIIW).
    Your soundcard looks like it should work fine, it is however excessive, you could use much cheaper cards such as an ESI maya or ESI Juli@. The very best card to buy is a Marian Trace Alpha, there is no better card for BBP and the price is not too bad.
    The signal always needs to be calibrated (unless you use a Trace Alpha) but this is on the output (to the transmitter), the inputs do not need to be calibrated.
    Finally, By far the best method for your RDS is to use Airomate software (it costs €25) on the same PC, this software has more features than many hardware RDS coders and is far more convenient to program than a hardware RDS coder. The signal from this will then be added to the Breakaway signal and correctly synchronised by Breakaway, if you really must use your hardware RDS coder, this would go after the PC output and the Tilt calibration would need to be measured at the output of the RDS coder, with the transmitter (or link transmitter) connected and switched on (and connected either into a good aerial or a dummy load if needed).

    Hope this helps.
