Hi Leif.
just want to say thank you for the great piece of software you made.
I just purchase the BBP ASIO version and I’m enjoying the piece of art.Greetz From Holland.

August 28, 2009 at 12:05 pm #8198TDCatMemberI would like to also say thanks for your support and for a great product. I have now purchased Breakaway Live for use initially on testing.
Now, if I may, I would like to add a shameless plug 🙂. For the duration of this weekend there will be a 256kbps stream (CruiseOne) running at the following addresses (depending on your player)…
http://tdcat.com:8000
http://tdcat.com/cruiseone.asx
http://tdcat.com/cruiseone.plsHardware Setup: I am currently running the playout system (SAM), Breakaway and the mp3 encoder on a fairly old Intel Centrino 1.8Ghz laptop. The OS is XP and is dedicated to the task with no additional applications installed. CPU usage sits between 40% and 60%. Not exactly idle but the laptop seems happy.
Audio Setup: Although I tend to go for a cleaner, more ‘virginal’ sound, I have gone against this trend for the purposes of this test. I have gone for a more punchy ‘fm’ type sound with plenty of gain makeup. I’ve done a good amount of listening with this setup and it copes well with a wide variety of music (which is good because, believe me, the playlist currently has a crazy eclectic mix). It’s loud but remains fairly clean on all but the most hypercompressed content (where it’s more a matter of it bringing out the flaws rather than causing them!).
It is based on the ‘Reference Settings’ preset.
Range: 70 (plenty of multiband drive for a variety of material and levels)
Power: 50
Speed: 50
Final Drive: 3dB
NR: Off
Peak Limit: -1.5dB (kept back to cope with peak uncertainty with lossy codecs)
Bass Boost: +20 (too much?)
Bass Shape: Normal
Frequency Cutoff: 15kHz (may not be needed with 256kbps really)
Filtering: Phase LinearThe codec being used is LAME 3.98.2 currently at 256kbps.
I’d appreciate any thoughts or comments. I’ve looked at a lot of software processing and this is without doubt the best I have come across. In some ways I wish there were more adjustments but, you know what, I think that might just spoil the enjoyment of the music as I’d just end up in a never ending tweak session. It’s great as it is.
TDCat.

It should never be needed, or the encoder is a total piece of junk. Encoders have low-pass filtering built into them, which is usually automatically set at the ideal frequency for the rest of the settings you are using.I’ll tune in a bit later, glad to see you are re-purposing your old hardware. 8)
