Hello everyone, I'm webmaster for the Art Bell web page. (www.artbell.com)
I've been on this list for about 2 weeks, after I myself purchased a Sony
JB920 Deck and have a RZ-MD50 portable on the way. I thought I'd finally chime
in, since I could contribute to the initial message about Art Bell.
Art uses his Sony MD unit to prerecord and then playback his commercial spots.
At each break, he simply sets up the "programmed play" feature to select the
spots needed for that half hour. He has all of the commmercial spots needed
recorded on one minidisc.
Here's one problem that maybe those on the list could help us with. When
playing back a "programmed play list" there seems to be a 2 second or so delay
between plays of the tracks. This has caused uncounted number of flub-ups of
Art jumping in between the playback of spots, thinking the playback is over.
Is there a way to keep each of the tracks, tight up against each other, so
that when the unit is seeking to
the next track for playback, there is NO silence gap?
My guess would be to EDIT the ORDER of the tracks, so it's a continuous
playback, but the order keeps changing each hour and it's easier at this point
to program which one's he needs for each segment.
As for the "tunes" he's been playing, he's been recording those Digital Audio
channels off of his 4DTV Satellite Receiver, then dubbing the ones he likes
onto the MiniDisc. They are not MP3 files, but simply recording off satellite.
Most bumper music is played directly from CD, but some of the newer tunes he
has been playing recently, and asking people what title and artist of the song
is, have been played directly from the minidisc.
