anybody run it? was messing with it last night and it seems to work well on headphones. leveled up my mp3's pretty good and gave them good punch. really livened up the sound. it has presets to emulate orban units.
im going to put it into my audio chain tonight on my AM TX and see what it does. i got my behringer compressor tweaked up to where im ok with the sound but it is a behringer and has its shortcomings.
I run the Canadian equivalent of a Part 15 FM micro-broadcast station, and have experimented with SoundSolution. While it appears to work well, and there are some good sounding presets (beware - there are many that sound horrible, at least to my ears!), it uses up a lot of CPU cycles. It may not matter to some, but for various reasons, I use a single box to run Radio Automation software, encode the results to MP3 (using IceCast to stream) and to also process the audio. I ended up deciding on VSTHost, with the Classic Compressor and various other bits and pieces along the audio chain. It sounds good and uses minimal CPU power (but your results may vary).
so heres the follow up... did it work? yes. made a notable difference in my range since im now running closer to the limits of my TX. you know how it is, squeeze every ounce you get out of those miniscule watts.
im using the orban 8100 preset but have dropped down the AGC to about 15, the output to 92 and turned on the AM filter preset. obviously, killed the stereo features.
the processing seems just a little too heavy for my taste so tomorrow i may drop the AGC a few more bars. aside from that, im getting some pretty surprising range for a 6aq5 output and an antenna thats only 12' off the ground or so.
btw.. its running on an asus netbook. 900mhz proc, SSD, winXP. im using the netbook to run sound solutions and winamp. audio out is via yamaha audiogram3 external sound interface. i did away with my behringer.
