Breakaway Audio settings

S

Smiths and Smittys

Former on air guy and PD here. Not behind the mic any longer but certainly think I had pretty good ears when it came to processing. LOVE the sound of the 8100XT!!! Still is nothing that sounds quite like that.
I have been relagated to listening to spotify and running the Breakaway audio enhancer.
More so to see if my ears are getting rusty would anyone be open to trying this setting if you are running Breakaway?
Probably works best on a 70's 80's Bob or Jack Classic Rock format, doesn't sound to good on newer music.
I am using the Perfect Blend setting:
Range 76
Power 74
Speed 72
Bass to taste
FM Mode
HF EQ .25
HF EQ Width .24
MF EQ .50
MF Freqency 3700
MF Width 2.38
Bass tilt 49
I know there are other parameters in the broadcast unit. Would leave that up to you as you are going to have first hand experience with this processor.
I know this is a bit unconventional request and I certainly don't want to impose on anyone but would just like to see what that setting might sound like in the real world?
Thank you
 
The broadcast software doesn't have the EQ settings on it, and the pre-emphasis and clipping are different. And that preset isn't in my version of BBP, which is .96. So I don't know how this could be tested on air.
 
I understand and thanks for the reply! Surprised not all presets are available across all the platforms. If the cheapie Audio Enhancer is any indication the broadcast software must be very impressive!!

Words can be sprayed at the idea of trying to describe how good the product is, but can never do justice to the sound.

With BBP using the Amsterdam preset with the Speed dialed down to 0, it is louder, cleaner and far less 'crunched' than an Omnia 6 using the standard AC preset as heard on a Bose Wave Radio. As Tom says, words are a futile way to express the sound of this (if I can bring a Christmas song title in) Marvelous Toy.
