Hi Leif,
now I’m using BBP for my web streaming (http://kos.broadstreamer.com:7280), with this preset/settings:
Preset: OLDIES
Final Drive: -0.5 dB
Range: 75
Power: 70
Speed: 80
Bass Cut: -10
Bass Shape: -3:PreEmphasis: 15us
De-emphasis: NOHPF: 30 Hz
BandWidth: 15 KHzL/R Ref Level: -2 dB
DSP Bass EFX: Level 3
I like the Oldies preset sound, but, in my opinion, the voices (speaker, news, ecc…) are not much bass supported (ecessive mid) and, something result a little distorced. For you, Leif, the Output level is correct, or too low?
I love analogic Orban like sound (8100 XT2), do you have some tips to obtain best result with Oldies (or other, alternative) preset?Thx, bye 🙂
Hi LuK!
No de-emphasis = big problem. Listening to pre-emphasized audio is extremely bright and shrill, even if it’s just 15us.
Output level is fine.
The speaker and news voices, are they pre-processed?
Breakaway seems to sound best on voice when you back way off the mic processing (or completely remove it) and let Breakaway do the job instead 🙂. Also, rather than cranking range up, it might make sense to turn it down, so that bass and treble won’t get boosted as much on voice.
Could you record a dry aircheck (what you’re feeding to the input of the processor) and send? This way I’ll be able to hear what you’re hearing. 🙂
Best,

Now I’ve inserted the DeEmphasis (at 25us), but the sound is poor brilliant. There is no way to add treble boost, like bass-ex or through BBP controls?quote :The speaker and news voices, are they pre-processed?Breakaway seems to sound best on voice when you back way off the mic processing (or completely remove it) and let Breakaway do the job instead 🙂.

The problem is, that not all files are directly produced. News, spots, trailers and some other programmed files are external productions on which I haven’t directed control. I think that this is common problem for all network.

Hi Luk!
The Helix preset is similar to the Oldies preset, except Helix has more high-end and less noisegating.
Try Pre-emph 15, De-emph on, Helix, Final drive +1.5, Range 70, Power 70, Speed 80, Bass Cut -10, Shape -3.

Thx so much, Leif,
I’m testing your preset/settings suggestions and I love it (more anolog Orban like). I’ve only a doubt about Bandwidth and Ref Level settings: Now, I’ve, respective, setted to 15.5 kHz and -2.5 dB. Are corrected?
Bye. 🙂
Hi Luk!
-2.5dB ref level is a good, conservative setting level for aacplus. This way we can be pretty sure to avoid the protection limiter in the decoder.
I’d use 16 kHz bandwidth though. There is no need to use less, especially not with aacPlus, considering that the high frequencies are basically "free" in terms of bit-budget, thanks to SBR.
Best,
///Leif
