Sam Broadcaster Bad Audio Processing (Distorted Audio)

Image
Recently searched through Audiorealm and started tuning into a few random radio stations. Some of them sounded OK(ish) & Some of them did not. The reason for the poor distorted audio quality on some of the stations was immediately clear. They were using badly ripped files or the sound processing in SAM Broadcaster Pro wasn't configured they sounded Distorted You know a SAM Broadcaster station when you come across one The badly coded website or #audiorealm on the Shoutcast server page gives it away I could never get a decent sound out of SAM Broadcaster even with the built in sound processing. Hey Spacial when will you exchange that lousy and terrible sound output with Professional Audio as used on regular Radio (Web) Stations? We think the sound processing in SAM is a rehash of a Winamp plugin called SoundSolution. Last time I tested the DSP version of Sound Solution it crashed and locked up the computer running RadioDJ. The audio would never s

Large Playlist Freezes RadioDJ?

Someone tweeted me recently to say they were going to try RadioDJ free radio play out software. Later on I received this Post: @DJGaryBaldy After spending time with RadioDJ it isn't looking good It Can't seem to handle loading a large playlist without freezing Marius the author of the software stated this before on the forums about playlists: I don't recommend you to load a single large playlist Otherwise it will slow the program down The user went on to mention the number 25,000 in a later Tweet regarding loading the playlist into Winamp. Our key library is a randomized playlist of over 25,000 tracks If that's the size playlist he was trying to load into RadioDJ then there's no wonder RadioDJ froze. Its down to the processing power of your PC & the amount of connections MySQL can handle It's NOT a limitation of RadioDJ! We'd imagine other radio automation software would lock up, crash and freeze if you tried loading a 25,000 tra

Sam Broadcaster Crossfade Problems

Image
As hard as I tried I could never get SAM Broadcaster to transition smoothly between songs. I'd either end up with a few seconds of dead air or a complete car crash of a crossfade. All my files were ripped properly and volume levelled so that wasn't the issue. It happened with every version of the software from v2.7.9 through to the newer versions. So it's not just a problem confined to one version of SAM Broadcaster but every single version of it. The default settings would cut the end of songs off & jingles and station ID's would never fade/play properly. I even tried settings suggested by Festerhead on the SAM Broadcaster forums but that only made the issue worse. We think Spacial Audio ripped off a Winamp DSP plugin called SQR Crossfade to make the fadeout feature in SAM. I need a little help with cross-fading when there is a voice-track or Station ID SAM Broadcaster cuts off the last second of the track Where would I deal with that? Can

The Most Perfect Piece Of Music Playout Software

Image
Q: Have you ever found the most perfect piece of music playout software? I've tried LOTS of music playback software over my 20 or so years on the Internet. Winamp, Foobar, Real Player, Windows Media Player, Musicmatch Jukebox, SAM Broadcaster, SAM Party DJ Some pieces of software were OK for playing music and some of them would crash if I added a large folder of music into them. This is a Quote from a RadioDJ User: This release is the closest thing to Perfect! Certain Radio Automation Software couldn't Crossfade very well and I'd end up with a CAR CRASH transition betweeen songs. RadioDJ excels at crossfading, It has a better Cue Point editor than some paid for software. It was 2010 when I first used RadioDJ and I haven't looked back since. RadioDJ has been the bedrock of my music automation since I discovered it via a search in
