Wayne Merricks covered this a while back on this list with Fade instead of stop. This might not be a complete copy and paste from his email last year.... apologies to wayne if this isn't quite right. I've personally added a button to the Hotkeys panel to trigger this macro. Or you can copy it to the main log just after the current event.
cheers Geoff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is from the Rivendell Mailing list from Wayne Merricks Any suggestion where I can read of a way to FADE a playing source when we come to a live event rather than having to chop audio cold with the STOP button? Im sure its here; I just cant find it. Two simple ways of doing this: Make a macro and stick it on the panel to fade to be fired manually Make an aux log that fires a few seconds before the live event starts to fade down the main log The macro itself is fairly simple: PS executes a stop with an optional log/port to stop and optional fade, so we'll do the following: PS 0 5000! SP 5000! ( wait for 5 seconds, this is important otherwise the fade will start, the macro will then nearly instantly terminate and the fade will mess up before its actually finished fading (especially if an event is queued to follow the fade) The way I do it is to create an aux log so that I get a nice fade into hard timed events that start on the hour and on the half hour. My aux log is a simple log that looks like the following: 00:29:54 Play Fade Macro 00:59:54 Play Fade Macro (etc etc for the whole day) I chose to start it a second early as I had some odd results with overlapping of macros and hard times that sometimes seemed to make the times get missed and the hard timed event would therefore not auto start. The strange part was most of the time it worked fine but then you'd get that call at 3 in the morning. So I decided 1 second of dead air was preferable to a phone call. At the end of the aux log is a log chain to the same aux log (so that the timed events refresh). FYI don't put the macro in your main log as a timed event even though it kind of makes sense. My feeble brain expected a nice fade out but the reality is an abrupt song stop, then 5 seconds of "fading" deadly silence before the next event kicks in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ On Thu, May 2, 2013 at 9:32 AM, Gavin Stephens <[email protected]>wrote: > Just remember, if you operate in Auto mode and have RD stopped for a live > break -if a timed event comes up it will crash in over top of any live > programming.
