[quote author=”SDF”][quote author=”sfinx”]On my system, when ‘Audio Realtime Priority’ is enabled, the plugins will not load correctly. When I try to configure the plugins, the corresponding windows appear but the do not respond. After a while the title for these windows changes to ‘not responding’. When ‘Audio Realtime Priority’ is not enabled the plugins work fine. This happens with all plugins I tried: both your impact/clunk plug-in and the dsp_vst plugin.
I’m running the latest Breakaway ASIO (low latency mode) on an Intel E4500, Esi Juli@ (latest drivers: 1.05) and Windows XP SP3 (32bit).[/quote]
Hi,
I’ve got exactly the same problem… Leif check it out 🙂[/quote]Done! Try 0.90.78.

Hello everybody!
I’m new arround here, in your forum, i’m not even a good english speaker, but one thing i guess i’m good at is the thing called "sound".
I work in this business for over 9 years now, mostly radio stations and studios of all kind.I tested this product a few months ago, a dear friend from London told me about it, he also works in this business.
I really was surprised what i heard. I liked it. Tested it with 7-8 genres of music, just voice, for voiceover applications, online broadcast, even fm broadcast.
But (and this is only my personal opinion), beside it’s (how i like to call it) audio fingerprint, excelent clear reproduction of details, i do not like something about it, and maybe you can make some changes. The overall result is a cold, flat, and in many situations a less dynamic sound. Tested with my Mackie studio monitors, an Infinity home audio equipment and some Alesis studio monitors.
I do not wish to criticize in a negative manner too much, i do it a little because it has a big potential to please more and more professionals, as it did with my friend and i too. After all, it is about the perception of my ears, which after all is relative.
Thank you.
Regards!
..wow!
cold ????? = maiby you want..the old 2 bad compressors which go up and down..up and down…pumping up and down 🙂
flat ??? = don’t forget that this is for FM broadcast… so flat…is good…and LOUD!!
( car radios, home radios, small radios, big radios..e.t.c.)if you play with the EQ on your chain…you can make a unique sound using breakaway..! 🙂
i disagree with u
Breakaway and Stereotool are the BEST FM BROADCAST PROCCESORS EVER !
forget orban and omnia.
just forget them! they are 900 % more expensive and less ..loud.
..but clear as weill…and ..hardware.. 🙂Hi! Thank you for your comments.
How odd — my experience is the exact opposite of yours! I suspect perhaps something is not calibrated correctly.
I would really like to know, how did you do your A/B comparison? What processors did you compare to? Perhaps you can record MPX (either off air or directly out of the processors), so that we can hear the comparison you made. Perhaps then we can identify what exactly it is you don’t like, in technical terms.

Leif, i have a question. Why is BBP Live still existing if you can use BBP ASIO? What are the differences between those two?
And the studio output of BBP ASIO is from less quality as the air output i guess? Because with a live show the sound of BBP goes into the mixer, and from there it goes into the encoder. So the microphone connected to the mixer has no compressing / limiting.
Another setup would be to put BBP in front of the encoder, the same as with the nonstop server. But Breakaway Broadcaster isn’t very good in handling the voice, i tried that before. So for that i need BBP Live or ASIO.
🙄 lol
I agree and disagree with the earlier poster.
I agree that Breakaway has "a sound to it."
Where I disagree is that it’s unpleasant or odd or different in a bad way. What I believe the earlier poster notices is that Breakaway is transparent…much more truthful to the original source, especially compared to other broadcast processors In that regard, it really does sound DIFFERENT. It sounds far far far less fatiguing. Worth thinking about.
Everyone’s ears are different, and I am biased though, I think BBP is a groundbreaking development. cheers! 😀
Thanks, Sgeirk 🙂.
I agree. It’s one thing to make a random statement, but it’s quite another to actually back it up. Or, as Americans say: "Talk is cheap". 🙂Cyborg, Live has other uses. For example the parametric eq allows it to be used for speaker calibration, and Breakaway Live is also suitable for web and digital radio, and does its job with far less cpu power than BBP ASIO requires.
///Leif
CPU power is no problem on this PC, i also use it for web streaming so…
But i want to buy the soundcard anyway, because this one is giving a little noise when i turn it louder. But hey!, it’s an onboard soundcard 😆 And if i buy one, it’s going to be an ASIO card.
So then i could use BBP ASIO. However, BBP ASIO is the most expensive one. So then is the question: what’s in it for me?
Is the low latency of the studio output worse then the air output Leif? And is it better to use BBP or BBP ASIO then in front of the encoder for live broadcastings? (if i have an ASIO card).
Cyborg, if you need any of the following:
– Low latency on-air output
– Separate ultra low latency studio output and low (or high) latency on-air output through 1 sound card..then only ASIO will work. If you don’t need either, BBP or Live is better. 🙂
The low latency studio output is worse than the air output — it doesn’t have the same peak limiting, so you’d lose loudness if you tried to broadcast that one. It’s for studio headphones/speakers.
