It's an interesting idea Fernando, but IMO, I don't know how many users would be on it.
Here in Washington DC, music stations are not doing a lot of overlapping audio (such as liners into music right up to the vocals) because the audience seems to want to hear a song in its entirety without intrusion --- either that or automation programmers here are lazy and just engaging their START NEXT commands only. Voicetracks work well overlapped with music because there is an expectation of "live" voices to mix with the music. But in this singular market, produced IDs and liners work better standalone -- YMMV. If this were to be a considered feature, I'd propose making it user-defeatable; it is going to add one more warning box that changes color to the screen, and there are users out there now who panic enough with the ones that already exist. I would just use the voicetracker. My nickel's worth of grousing. -AP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fernando Della Torre" <[email protected]> To: "User discussion about the Rivendell Radio Automation System" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 8, 2011 5:57:46 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [RDD] Transition Suggestion Hello all! Just an idea. What about a kind of "intro protection" on segues? This way we could easily make the ID's mixing sound better, jsut like we do with voice tracks. This could be something like this: Imagine that we have an ID that is 10 seconds longer and after the 3rd second it can be mixed with the next song, what give us a 7 second overlap. Today if we just mark the SEC tone at 3s and the "do not fade at segue" the ID and the music will play together, but it will not care if the song's intro is less than 7 seconds. If we have this "intro protection" and the next song had a 4s intro, the song wold start playing when the ID was at 6s, so the end of the ID world be right on the end of the next song's intro. If the next song has no intro time set, then we could default it to the "segue time" set in rdadmin.(~ 1500ms) Dear Rivendell users and developers, what do you thing about it? Would it be useful anyway?
