Hi,

I have been using Butt for sometime now without problem. Yesterday evening on a radio show, several people commented that my sound was flat/tinny. When I went and checked the live stream on another stereo in my house, it sounded like the stream was being EQd to remove most of the bass content.

In my studio, the monitoring (which uses exactly the same inputs that go into Butt) sounded perfect.

I also have Butt set up to auto-record. The recording also sounded perfect.

The only difference was the live-stream.

Nothing has changed since the last show I did (a week ago). I have also tried 2 different sources (different mixers feeding my audio interface). I have also updated butt to the latest version and gone through and checked all sample rates, buffer sizes etc. Unfortunately, I still have the same issue - Butt stream sounds bad, Butt recording sounds fine. Live monitoring sounds fine.,

I've run a load of tests this morning, and still have the same problem.

Has anyone else experienced this symptom?

Any ideas?

Thanks for any thoughts!!!

After much experimenting with many different settings, I installed an older version of Butt (1.20) and this has resolved the issue, so I'll be sticking with that version for now!

Thanks,
