Hi,
I recently purchased Breakaway Broadcast for my Internet Radio Station. It sounds great on my own computer!!
But now I will use Breakaway for our radiostation. I play my music with Radiohost Broadcast Private Edition..
Next, it goes from the Music PC to the mixer (Behringer XENYX 1204FX), and afterwards from the mixer to the Broadcast PC.
For broadcasting to my Shoutcaststream, I use the DSP Plugin from Winamp..
Now, my problem is: I hear the music in my Broadcast PC trough the Stereo Mix but it is not processed…
The VU meters don’t move.. But when I play a music file on the Broadcast PC (for example : Windows Media Player), I see moving the VU meters.Sorry for my bad English. I hope someone can help me!

Hi Carl!
I’m confused as to what you’re trying to do. Why play music files on the broadcast computer, when you also have a music computer?
Could you draw a detailed diagram (hand drawn is fine) of how you want the signals to flow?
Remember, computer and mixers are not single blocks. A computer will have at least one sound card which has at least one input and output.. Pipelines have one input and output, Breakaway Broadcast also has one input and output. Windows media player only has an output, no input, et cetera. If you could draw all these things separately, it’ll be much easier to understand what you’re trying to do.
Best,
///LeifI want to process the sound signal from the Music PC…
Sound on the Music PC : Not processed…
Sound on the Broadcast PC : Processed…I will try to draw a detailed diagram now..
So, I maked a detailed diagram of the problem..
I hope you can help me! 😉Did you go into Breakaway IO config?
Then in there…
And set the input & output settings as desired. Depending on your computer (DCP Latency) & converter, and what you want to do with the output (low latency, or higher stability)… will give you different priorities for those buffer settings.
I use Breakaway Broadcast, not Breakaway Live. 😐
Is this a problem?Carl, I see the problem.
The audio is coming in through line in, then you send the line in audio to shoutcast, as well as to breakaway, and then breakaway sends the audio to the line out.
Of course shoutcast will not be processed — you’re feeding it from what’s BEFORE breakaway, not after 🙂.
The easiest way to make it work the way you want is to load shoutcast as an encoder plug-in in breakaway.
If you must run in standalone, then you can set brekaway to output to a pipeline, and then set the standalone encoder to record from that same pipeline. However, if you do that, it won’t be driving the sound card — so you’d have only streaming, no line out.If you load shoutcast as an encoder plug-in, you get processed streaming AND processed line out.
Best,
///LeifOk, many thanks! 🙂
I will try it tomorrow in the studio… 😉
So, I have tried it, but it works yet… 🙁
As you can see : The input levels of the shoutcast source moves (red stroke), but the meters of Breakaway Broadcast don’t move (red stroke), they move (process) only when I play a musicfile with Windows Media Player…Shoutcast needs to be set to Winamp input (or DSP input or whatever they call it), not sound card input!
In Breakaway, you do need to select the correct sound card for input. Check the I/O settings.

Ok, many thanks!!
I tried it at home on my Windows Vista by linking my Line in cable from my mobile phone to my Windows Vista and it works!! 😀 😀
Now, I hope that it also works in the studio with a Windows XP! 😕Ok, It works, Thanks!!!
But I think we can’t use Breakaway.. 🙁 The Broadcast PC has 704MB of RAM-Memory.
When I look to my CPU, it’s always 85 – 100%.
In my I/O configuration, I selected Optimize CPU usage instead of Maximum Quality but that makes no difference. 🙁
Is 700MB of RAM-Memory not enough or can I do something that my CPU declines??700mb memory is plenty! In fact it runs even with 256mb.
The question is, what’s the CPU speed?
///Leif
How do you mean?
Where can I see my CPU speed? 😳
I see that my CPU is about 90% 😕
