Having just purchased Breakaway LIVE this week (loving it) tested it for over 2 months – I have seen references to Presets i don’t see (IE Eruption) so, my question, can someone supply my a ore list of presets I should be seeing?? Next, can someone advise me on how to achieve this stream sound with Breakaway ( http://1club.fm/dance-old-school/jammin-oldies.html)-
–You guys are the best TY–
Jammin OldiesIf you enable the obsolete presets (Edit the INI file, and in the [Master] section add ObsoletePresets=1) it will look like this:
For the latest presets (ie Eruption) ensure you download the latest version from the sticky at the top of this forum.
The versions downloaded from the main site are quite old now and do not contain some of the newer features which have been recently developed, including many new presets.Hope this helps,
Yorkie.
Thanks to all who replied so far. I have breakaway_live_setup_0_90_77.exe installed, there is a newer?? Also, where is "the sticky at the top of this forum" you refered to??

Announcements ➡ The Latest Software TopicFor Eruption preset you do not need to enable obsolete presets !
Only the presets at the end of the preset menu list with the extra ending "OB" are so called obsolete presets (older presets).

As greatstart already has wrítten, if you want to have these too, you have to edit the breakawaylive.ini file (inside your Breakaway live program folder) with a text editor.
Very simple:
In the [Master] section add "ObsoletePresets=1" !
➡ Save it (as breakawaylive.ini !)As I have come to expect TY all for the quick and exacting tech advice, I uninstalled .77 & reinstalled .96, I now see Eruption & Motor City Yeah!! NOW, can anyone tell me why the BreakawayLive.ini file is not in my Breakaway directory??—The Hits Just Keep On Comin..—-
TY in Advance..
—JamminOldies—[quote author=”jamminoldies”]NOW, can anyone tell me why the BreakawayLive.ini file is not in my Breakaway directory??[/quote]There should be another .ini file called "EffectMuxer.ini" inside C:Program FilesBreakawayLive.
Can you find this one ?
➡ Try to use the windows search (search for "breakawaylive.ini").
It must be somewhere, because without it Breakaway would not work.
In Windows XP this file is inside the program folder.
Maybe the location for this file is different in Windows 7 (Vista) ?
What Windows version do you use ?Or:
If you cannot find it even with the Windows search, I guess that on your Windows all files with the ending .ini are considered to be system files and are hidden by default ?
Have you ever seen any file with the ending .ini anywhere on your system ?In Windows XP pro you can open any folder and then use the menu to navigate to:
Tools ➡ Folder Options ➡ View ➡ Hidden files and folders ➡ Show/or do not show hidden files and folders option
Though on my XP system all .ini files are still visible when I switch to "Do not show hidden files and folders".
But this could be different on newer Windows versions.I understand for the sake of keeping the preset menu leaner and cleaner it makes sense to eliminate some of the "obsolete" presets when newer ones become available, but I for one am grateful for the option to include them if I so choose by editing the .ini file.
"Obsolete" shouldn’t be confused with "bad". I use the orignal Zenith in BAE the vast majority of the time, and never thought I needed an improved version, though I do like the new Zenith in Live better. (You’re spoiling us, Jesse…)
The two Rusticity presets are fun, too, and Magnifying Glass remains one of the best-sounding, detail-enhancing presets past or present (IMHO). I like that it leans more on the multi-band compressors than the AGC, a strategy I prefer personally.

I’m going to try and get another new preset called "Tokyo" into the upcoming new stuff too. I sent it over to Frank to see what he thinks of it too. 🙂 (reminds me, I should send it to CG too)
The new framework can have basically anything done with the GUI that you can imagine, since it’s all custom code now. Not hijacking the rendering of Windows controls like it’s doing now. So hopefully some of the "OB" presets that were removed due to space concerns more than quality concerns can be moved back into the "non-OB" lineup.
