From: "Marc Steele" <steele...@gmail.com> The catch with your suggestion is that you need a complete standalone copy of Rivendell running. That's audio library, database, etc. that all need to be separately maintained.
-------------------------------- It works for us here, but that's just our own unique situation (long-form talk programming) and realize its not the solution for everybody. We have two side-by-side RD systems running; one set up to augment live talent, and a second running hot-standby audio with pre-recorded host segments. If the connection to the host collapses, we jump to the standby box. Except for the odd continuity in the topic being discussed, we dont miss a beat. Since all audio is pulled from a server and the machines are essentially running the same show, we dont need to maintain two separate audio libraries. Only thing different is the program log: one version has carts of pre-recorded show material, the other has long stops for the live host to do his/her thing. Spots and program elements are the same. There are lots of solutions to the silence-sense issue. All are valid, and what works best for you is what works.
