RadioDJ Sounds Wonderful (Professional Audio Output)

Image
I'm testing streaming codecs in Sound Empire Caster and it doesn't matter what bitrate I stream at the audio from RadioDJ sounds Wonderful. I've ran 3 different tests on an Icecast server. Streaming out in 64K OGG/48K AAC+/64K OPUS and all the streams sounded amazing. Sadly the OPUS stream encoded by MB Recaster kept cutting out on song change which was a bit annoying. The Audio quality from RadioDJ when you have properly ripped files can be amazing. I couldn't get this sort of audio quality from other radio playout software I wonder why. I found software such as Zararadio made everything sound awful. The AGC & EQ in SAM Broadcaster makes everything sound distorted. You cannot get a professional sound from some software that often costs $$$ I'm so glad I discovered Radio DJ when I did in 2010 I found it had great programmed audio processing from the get go. ...

Frustration At Audio Distortion (Sam Broadcaster Pro)

Image
A long time user of SAM Broadcaster is complaining about really bad distortion on his stream. I get a distorted audio stream with SAM Broadcaster Pro I searched the forum and couldn't find any conclusive troubleshooting on the topic I have to think whether SAM Broadcaster is right for our station anymore I was NEVER able to get a decent quality professional sound in SAM Broadcaster When will you exchange that lousy and terrible sound output with professional Audio as used on regular Radio (Web) Stations? Even using DSP plugins such as Stereo tool I would always end up with distorted audio. This is not the first time I've done a post about the terrible audio quality in SAM Broadcaster I tested a recent version of SAM Broadcaster and thought the audio quality was poor compared to RadioDJ. Baffled, I have been using Sam Broadcaster for many years There is a Click or Clunk sound when I start a track playing In the years I...

RadioDJ Sound Settings (Built In Audio Processing)

Image
I've used RadioDJ as my music automation solution since late 2010. The one GREAT thing about RadioDJ is: Once you nail the settings of the built in audio processing everything will sound amazing. A user had this to say on the forums. We tested RadioDJ and it gave us the playout sound we wanted by default I've tried all sorts of settings and configurations on the processor plugin it was all trial and error. These are the settings I've used for a while in RadioDJ From RadioDJ v2.0.2.0 (beta) You can now disable and enable different parts of the audio plugin. I'm pleasantly surprised by how great the music sounds with just the compressor and stereo widening. A user posted on the RadioDJ forums recently that he was using my configuration with the audio. Sound quality from RadioDJ is great being able to adjust the audio gain is a big plus side Running DJ GaryBaldy's settings the crossovers are how I want them. Then there are all t...
