OverModulation…!!!!!

Jesse, Vorbis actually does not beat Layer 2 in audio quality if the bitrate is high enough for Layer 2 (for example 320 – 384k), and neither does Layer 3. The reason is that Layer 2 is a subband codec, so it has a much simpler filter bank, which yields more accurate reproduction with much less generation loss for previously lossy-encoded content. With Layer 3 and Vorbis, you get severe generation loss even if you run them at maximum bit rate.

Flac would be an alternative, except it’s not CBR. I think I’d rather avoid VBR as it adds another layer of uncentainty and unpredictability.

Sneradio, it will be win32-software like all my other products. Recommended usage will be two machines with solid state drives.

One with Breakaway Live and the STL transmitter, at the studio site. This way, you also get a low latency processed feed back to the studio.
One with the STL receiver and Breakaway Broadcast, at the transmitter site.

All you’ll need between these (if it all goes well) in an internet connection, or even wifi with proper directional antennas at both ends.
