Omnia.9 Bass help

Lossy codec artifacts will mostly affect the high end, not the low end. A 128 kbps MP3 stream can sound fine as long as you're feeding it lossless audio, have processing that avoids hard clipping, and use the LAME encoder.

Update: For my stations, I now use 64 kbps HE-ACC on the new websites, and I had to downgrade the original website to 64kbps MP3 because I don’t want to use too much data. Caster’s cloud platform allows up to 96kbps, but unlike the old free plan, you can use just about any format (MP3, OGG, Opus, AAC) rather than just MP3. 64kbps HE-ACC actually sounds pretty solid, and does a pretty good job with keeping the original stereo image. The high end sounds slightly brighter than MP3 at 128, but to me it just sounds better. On the legacy website, it sounds just about the same as the 128 MP3 except it’s in mono.

For my Hip Hop station, I settled on a louder preset with a few tweaks to the AGC and the EQ. As for the Southern Soul/Blues station, I found a hotter preset but tamed it down some. I’m not telling which presets because competition might be seeing.

Here are the websites… I’m on air pretty much all day today.

I just put a Telos ZipstreamR-1 on Voice of Vashon's web stream. The Zipstream has built in Omnia Processing. Also running 64 kbps HE-ACC. It sounds pretty good.

Voice of Vashon Link for the webstream is at the top. Yes there are two streams. one is the main stream which features the various shows and programming, using the Zipstream. The other is just a informational stream using a Deva encoder.
