    [quote author=”Leif”]LuK,

    Breakaway Personal and Breakaway Broadcast aren’t really comparable products, but because you’re a loyal customer, I’ll PM you a $15 discount coupon for BBP, and you’ll get to keep your BAP license too, so you’ll have both 🙂.

    Hello Leif,

    unfortunately is official: My Athlon 3200 XP is not sufficient for Breakaway Brodacast. 🙁 Therefore, within two or three weeks I will assemble a new PC. Do you think that a computer with CPU INTEL CORE i7 920, it could go well? If you can, hold valid my discount! 😉

    Bye. 🙂

    Now THAT is what I call an upgrade, Luk!

    I wouldn’t be surprised if BBP uses maybe 5% CPU power on that machine 🙂.

    I can confirm that ouractual processing machine (AMD Athlon64 4000+ 2400MHz) is a bit too slow also. 😯
    It runs in CPU saving mode at nearly 100% with hidden scopes
    I am upgrading to an Intel Pentium Dualcore e5200 (2x2500MHz).

    On This CPU the actual build of bbp runs at aprox. 15-20% CPU load.

    Is this because AMD does not support for the SIMd instructions (SSE3, SSE4)?

    AMD does support those instructions as well — I think part of the problem is that I make heavy use of Intel’s IPP library for certain math operations, which is of course "optimized for Intel processors". However, it seems to run fine on more recent AMDs — Athlon 64 is a very old CPU, basically Pentium 4-class.

    I can get BBP running on my Athlon64 3000+ at like 85% CPU…. in efficient mode. XP Pro v2002 edition, SP3… hand optimized. So that’s not really acceptable for production use. For production use under normal environmental conditions, you’ll want to be under 60% load ideally… for everything.

    Hi,

    What would be the nearest preset and settings for BBP sounds the nearest of Orban 8500 with preset Rock-dense (Less-More 9.0), 75us ?
    Thanks

    Hi Guillou!

    It’s been a long time since I played with an 8500. How about you record an MPX of a station? I’ll be happy to listen and match the sound. 🙂

    Best regards,

    The sample of MPXTool webpage is a very nice sample !

    Hehehe.. Well, it’s accurate, but I’m not sure I’d call it nice.

    Try the Amsterdam preset. It’s slightly louder than that 8500 sample, but you can always dial it down a bit with the controls.
