It happens to me all the time - I sometimes can't believe my ears either. It's very easy to get fooled by the lack of THD distortion in Breakaway FM's back-end. It should also be said, that the Helix preset was never designed to be that loud. Doing this will actually lower the AGC thresholds for band 1 and 2, and clean things up even further, while still leaving warmth. Also, if you still want to clean things up - try decreasing the bass to -10. I think you'll find the bass clipper perfomance much improved with the settings you were using. I just hadn't tried drive levels that high. I have fixed this now (it's still beta, after all).
Breakaway FM has actually had a bass clipper all along, but now that you mentioned it, I looked more carefully, and found that it became ineffective at Drive levels above 2.5dB! It was a bug with the way the threshold signal was generated. When you do not have to have high loudness as with the settings I described, the Helix in standardsettings (everything 50%) makes a great perfectly fast and clean multiband AGC/leveller as preprocessor for processors with better end-parts, but slower gainriding, like (O.)! Of course things go wrong when playing records with a lot of low end (bassclipper before the final clipper?), and maybe it would be nice to be able to have a final singleband compressor-limiterdrive (something like 0 to 4 dB in very small steps) to blow up the sound for more impact without distortion, before the final clipper.Īnd I think I miss a slider for stereo-enhancement? Input: peaking at -5: readout AGC: somewhere between +12 and +6 (important of course) I think for FM radio with a lot of loudness and every record have the same sound, especially in the highs, together with some good gainriding, these are the best settings of your betaversion so far:
and it is quite nice in fast gainriding too, something the other processors lack from time to time with the new designs! However we must keep in mind that the big struggle is the delay, and is in this setup it is not free of it either of course, so no live-monitoring here. Think you enjoy laughing some producing companies of very expensive processors in the face, huh? I see it perfectly gating on all bands below certain levels, I see expanders working (however they have to be lightning fast because else they can make it sound a bit dull and less fresh). Just read the topic and could not refuse to test it. 75us is even harder than 50us, but of course Breakaway can be used at 50us - or even 15 or 25us, for webcasting!Īnd finally, here's the beta version of the actual program:Īs far as I've been able to measure, it's fully stokkemasker-compliant. I chose a few very difficult songs for FM processors for the test. Here's a few audio clips (all 75us pre-emph - play with mpxtool, ) It has a brand new advanced distortion cancelling clipper, which causes *much* less distortion than any other clipper I've ever heard, at the same loudness level. We are friends, but we all want to win and we will always fight it out all the way.I'm developing an FM processor algorithm.
Unfortunately, I was a little too short at the end but anyway it was a really nice day for us."Ĥ0 seconds on Roglic would, he argued, be sufficient if they came through to the final time trial in La Planche des Belles Filles in the same circumstances, perhaps hinting that he would play a more defensive game in the Alpine stages to come.īut he insisted that there had been no gifts to Pogacar at the summit of the Grand Colombier, saying "for sure he was the strongest and I am a little bit disappointed about that. "But then saw we can control it and the guys were feeling really well. "The guys were really strong, actually the plan was to let the breakaway go, it wasn't on us to the race," Roglic argued. George Bennett took over before Tom Dumoulin did another huge effort close to the summit. On the sporting front, Roglic conceded that Pogacar had had the better of him in the final sprint, but he praised his teammates to the heights for their hard work throughout.Īfter Tony Martin did a massive amount of work on the flat run-up to the three first category climbs, Jumbo-Visma's Robert Gesink handled almost all of the Col de la Biche by himself, then Wout Van Aert was particularly notable on the Grand Colombier, even causing Bernal to crack. "I also now I just had a control, so I think there is really nothing to hide, and at least looking from my side, you can definitely trust it."
Today, a little after 6 a.m., I had a full control," he said. "I think they are doing a lot of controls.
