Hi Milky,
I’d like to know if it’s possible to add a streaming upgrade to an existing licence. I have a HD + PT licence for my main computer and I may want to upgrade it to HD/Streaming + PT. That’d be a $79 upgrade, can you confirm if it is possible and how?
Also, I’m hesitating with the Separate Low Latency: does the Streaming Encoder uses the same setting as the core, or does it use high quality processing regardless? Would I have to buy the Separate LL if I want low latency for my monitor but high quality for streaming?
These are probably questions best aske of John Edwards
I assume you know that the streaming option shares the same preset as the core it is attached to? For instance, if you have an HD core and you run Plutonium preset, then the stream from that core will be Plutonium.
Yes I know that, but latency isn’t part of the preset, it’s part of the core, hence my question. I would assume the stream will get the same quality, but I want to make sure, as I don’t think there’s an easy and convincing way to test it by myself.
Well I’ve looked on the website and I think I have my answer by the paragraph:
“Separate Low Latency processing with the same settings as the main processor, so that you can use the highest-quality processing for your stream or digital on-air feed while also providing a low-latency headphone feed for the studio.”
I guess then the streaming gets the same treatment as the main processor, and if I want both streaming high quality and low latency realtime processing, I need the Separate Low Latency feature. I’ll check on that and see what I do with the upgrade. I tried it on trial mode and I see it uses double the CPU and RAM, so I don’t know if it’s worth the upgrade considering the low use-case I have for this.
Good research!
When you say that it uses twice the CPU and RAM, what does that take it to? My experience is that CPU and RAM usage that is around 50% and occasionally transients to 75% still leaves enough headroom provided that the PC is adequately cooled.As you probably know, the whole point of the LL path was intended for radio presenters to be able to hear their own foldback, without there being a delay. It is very confusing if you are hearing your voice 1 second delayed because of processing delays.
