Aquileo | FDK AAC - More Granular Control Options

2025-11-04T15:37:11.031000Z

Hi Daniel,

I'm just wondering if it would be possible to enable more AAC features.

For example: the 17kHz cutoff in CBR mode (0), is it possible to disable this in FDK AAC and have it as an option in butt? I'm genuinely not sure if this is possible.

Another example: could you add more control over the VBR modes (1-5) that we can use?

I'm trying to go balls-to-the-wall with AAC in terms of quality.

Thank you for your time!

Aquileo | BUTT conecting... Thats it..Help

2025-08-26T15:57:23.863000Z

It's now 2025, and I have the same time trying to send a scanner feed to Broadcastify. It just says "Connecting..." when using the supplied broadcastify info for setup. After checking and rechecking what broadcastify says to do in settings, I just can't seem to find a reason why it's not working. I'm running the Mint flavor of Linux.

Aquileo | Butt meter question

2025-04-27T11:29:53.508000Z

Hi David,

BUTT shows dBFS. So you should make sure that the vertical black peak-hold bar does not reach 0. Otherwise you risk distortion.
The audio signal does reach BUTT directly. It also has to pass through audio settings of your operating system or audio driver. Please make sure that you did not set any gain or attenuation there. Also have a look at the audio settings of BUTTs internal mixer.

Best,
Daniel

Aquileo | Butt meter question

2025-04-27T10:52:36.404000Z

How accurate is the metering in Butt - running a Rodeprocaster II pro into butt - but the meters do not always match at all - the procaster meter say the mics are real low but butt put them in the red . Some of the audo track are in the red on rode but no not in butt What should we be mixing to in Butt -6 or is 0 the 0 as per a normal VU meter ?

Aquileo | Broadcasting issues

2024-08-27T12:29:29.176000Z

I run a Radio Station where my DJs connect remotely to RADIO DJ via BUTT using Shoutcast.
Most of my DJs ( and i mean 99% of them) can connect fine and have no problems. There is that 1% that are just really having difficulties staying connected ( note i said staying connected). They can connect with BUTT no problem but then they are loosing connecting which in turn disconnects them from Radio DJ and then I have to connect them remotely again.

I would like to ask if their is something they have to ensure they are doing on BUTT that we havent been able to figure out already that can help them so they dont disconnect.
Obviously we know they have to have a stable internet connection and also. i have told them to be hardwired in where possible via ethernet cable.

It is just a select few DJs and its absolutely causing me distress in trying to understand why they are having trouble especially as they have used BUTT before and havent seemed to have problems.

I have asked the same question in the RADIO DJ forum, however i know that from their end, the program is working completely as should be.
As it is a connection issue then i feel it is from the end of BUTT and the workings on these DJs side with their setup and BUTT.

Any advice would be majourly appreciated

Aquileo | #52 BUTT not broadcasting on version 0.1.37 and above on MacBook with M1 chip

2024-04-20T11:31:41.329000Z

Hello Paul,

please provide more information. There is no known issue with M* processors. It works fine on my M1 Macbook Air (Ventura) and M1 Max (Sonoma) and no one else has reported issue so far.
So it must be individual problems.

What does "not broadcasting" mean exactly?
Try to explain in more detail what you do and what is happening.

It would be best if you could provide a screen recording that demonstates the issue.

Best,
Daniel

Aquileo | BUTT not broadcasting on version 0.1.37 and above on MacBook with M1 chip

2024-04-20T11:19:57.033000Z

Hello

Hope you can help.

We are an internet radio station and we have 2 DJs having issues broadcasting from BUTT on version 0.1.37or 0.1.39. Both are using Macbooks with M1 processors and the other DJs uses either older Macbooks with the older Intel processors or Windows laptops.

i have uninstalled ond reinstalled the software and reverted to older versions with no success but as soon as you connect a non M1 chip to the setup, it works perfectly..

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
