Talking over intros is called ramping upor ramping down if you are doing the back end of a song. Most of the automation software packages that I have looked at have a digital display indicating TTV. If you are familiar with the intro of a particular song, ramp up time shouldn't be abig issue. I have yet to find a fully accessible music scheduler that will tell you everything that is going on on the screen from song placement in the lineup to song title and artist. Believe me I have looked at a number of radio automation software packages, and there simply isn't a package out there that I could find that will meet all of our needs. As I see it a screen reader would have to be separated and put onto a cue channel, so that the speech would not go on the air, but the operator would have full control of all of the functions and would know what is going on at all times. Unfortunately many of the software packages that are being developed today use a touch screen system for live on air presentation. If you want the system to go into automation mode you simply touch an icon on the screen and the switchover automatically takes place. There is a software package called Tune Tracker that I am looking into. It comes with preprogrammed time checks, current temperature, ramp up and ramp down times etc. I am not exactly sure how user friendly it is going to be for blind or visually impaired people, although the developer of this particular software package would probably welcome the challenge of coming up with a radio automation system that is accessible with the use of a screen reader. . system. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brent Harding" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
