We have a translator within our main signal contour giving me the perfect chance to run bbp vs our omnia 6exi.
Running the emu0404…adjusted for the cards tilt…on a 6 year old pentium 4 on xp….bbp set to lowest quality…I know I know….
I love the cosmic setting in the omnia. Hands down the best preset that comes with the box. Anyway….bbp sounds cleaner…the plutonium preset has a touch more mids and the highs are a little more strident for my taste….its pretty amazing.
We play 70s and 80s…some are remastered. Any suggestions on another preset that keeps the punch…song to song consistency and calms the highs a smidge? I’m still amazed by this product…

I’ll give it a try. Thank you!
One of the more interesting things that I’m able to notice while a/b’ing is that if we were running BBP exclusively on both signals…I’d feel an urge to back OUT of our mic processors. BBP is much more kinder and gentler to voice than it’s processor-in-a-box brethren…and for whatever reason, requires less mic processing.
I do notice with my BBP plutonium setting: (1.5 drive, 70 range, 50 speed 50 power, basically flat bass, no bass plugin, 2 and 2 for impact/clunk) that some consonant/plosive sounds in voice end up sounding greatly exaggerated.

I second this.. Many other customers seem to have noticed the same thing — as long as you never clip the input, it seems that the less mic processing before Breakaway, the better the mic sounds!

Hmm. For whatever reason, I still prefer the up-close, apparent dynamic range sound of Plutonium over anything else I’ve heard come out of Breakaway.
Cosmic is my favorite preset in the Omnia 6, because it gives an up-close, consistent open, and potentially lethally loud sound on an incredibly W I D E variety of formats. Same thing with Plutonium. I just wish I could back out the highs a little, and it’d be perfect!!!
Although, what I DID get out of your suggestion is to adjust Stereo Challenger differently, and for that, I thank you.
🙂 Good to hear you like my Stereo Challenger settings.. I found by limiting the amount of Gain/Attenuation as well as slowing down the Attack time resulted in a much smoother effect that stops the stereo image from "pumping" as much..
How about trying the Twente preset then – it’s very similar to Plutonium except the bass is punchier – you might be able to use your existing Plutonium settings as a starting point, alternatively I like the sound of Drive +1.5, Range 50, Power 60, Speed 35, Bass Boost +1

[/quote]Why don’t you just gently EQ them to your taste, I have an Anwida 31 Band EQ I can send you to try if you wish, it’s a very small .dll file which yields good results? 8)
[quote author=”Leif”]Sgeirk, have you tried running it at 50us pre-emphasis in the US?
///Leif[/quote]
That did the trick with me.. 50 uS rather than the standard 75 uS in Brazil…
The issue could be in the exciter, now that I think about it…I’m scared to run an additional dll on this particular machine.
The cpu is screaming at 80-90%…for now. (Its a little below spec…heh)
Ill try the 50 pre setting tomorrow. Brilliant…almost like I’m talking with the guy who designed the thing! 😀
