BreakawayOneOverview
The consistent, clean, polished, and powerful sound of BreakawayOne attracts and holds listeners in every broadcast medium. Processing for: - FM Radio - FM Radio with ITU BS-412 Multiplex Power regulations - DAB - HD Radio - Web Radio (Internet Streaming) - DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale)
BreakawayOne reaches a new level of audio quality by intelligently masking distortion, placing it where it's least likely to be heard. It's not magic -- just pure science. BreakawayOne is the best software-based processing solution both for AM, FM, and all forms of digital broadcasting wrapped up in a software program. The difference in quality when compared to certain leading hardware processors is obvious. Where other processors strain and fall apart, BreakawayOne is loud, clear and consistent, even with extremely difficult program material. The result is a broadcast that dominates the competition with volume and punch, and a clarity that they cannot possibly achieve, while strictly abiding to modulation and power regulations. BreakawayOne builds on the legacy of the legendary Breakaway Broadcast Processor, but is completely re-written based on Leif Claesson's state of the art audio algorithms and road-tested platform code. With state of the art multi-band processing and back-end peak control, BreakawayOne is the ideal choice for all forms of radio. FM Radio - Ensures loudness, punch, and clarity within legal limits. Web Radio - Attains unbelievably full, clean, and powerful sound online. HD Radio - Makes the most of the limited bit-rate. DAB Radio - Works extremely well with both MP2 and AAC Plus.
The highly integrated and flexible BreakawayOne software can process audio for multiple stations simultaneously, and comes with an extensive library of carefully tuned presets appropriate for any format, to get your station on the air sounding the best that it can in no time. Manageable. Full IP remote control with: Management of all your stations in one interface. Bandwidth-efficient locally rendered instruments and meters. Audio streaming, for direct remote monitoring. Common Monitor Output to easily monitor all your stations as you're making adjustments. Reliable. Road-tested, proven software with many years of real-world run-time, written by an audio software engineer and inventor with over 20 years of industry experience. Can run as a service, for robustness and security.
NEW
Primary/Secondary inputs. PT cores can now serve as secondary input for backup / voiceover insertion / EAS (emergency alert) purposes.PT core: 12dB stream attenuation option added (useful when using the streaming encoder as the STL with the declipper at the studio end)."Standby or Primary" mode for the secondary stream receiver: Gives the secondary stream receiver, when in standby mode, higher priority than the main input;Useful in conjuction with the "Give up if slow" primary stream receiver option;Also useful when the main input is a local backup player.FLAC Reduced mode (700kbps) is now 24-bit.FLAC bit-rate management added -- bit rate now longer drops on silence or mono tracks. Much more reliable for streaming.
I am pleased to be able to announce that there is a new release of Breakaway One available from their website (

I'm reposting the patcher for BreakawayOne that was on the previous TSRh forum. I'll update this post if I missed anything.
This is the universal patcher for BreakawayOne, from version 3.19.43 to the latest 3.32.05. This patcher allows you to fake a licence for BreakawayOne, enable expert mode and other hidden features, and customize the interface (color, logos...). However, the patcher will intentionnally NOT let you create a fake licence for the latest 3.32.05. This is by design, if you want the newest version in full you'll have to buy a licence (you can use the patcher with an official license to unlock extra features). Also, you CANNOT customize the Mac and Info field in the licence, to prevent the tool from being used by sellers.
