Hello All, We have been testing a way to give rivendell some new life in one area it is seriously lacking in, remote voicetracking.
Below are results from some initial tests, we wanted to share them with the community, we will update this as further testing becomes successful PROJECT OUTLINE (prereq) 1. Ability for DJ to voicetrack with limited user knowledge 2. Ability for DJ to voicetrack without having to have a complicated multiple database setup) 3. Ability to avoid having to have duplicate copies of rivendell and its entire library on multiple linux workstations in multiple locations 4. Ability to allow DJS to voicetrack into rivendell from any device (tablet, smartphone, computer running any operating system) 5. Ability for DJ to record voicetrack shifts while having minimal contact with rivendell system 6. Ability to allow DJS to hear "backsell" and "upcoming" audio without complicated server and streaming configuration 7. Ability to avoid any files having to be uploaded from DJ device to rivendell 8. Ability to allow DJ a way to interface additional audio into voicetracks (IE: weather beds or sound effects) this audio can be on rivendell system, but in the voicetrack file a copy of this audio will exist, the copy being purged once voicetrack has been aired from the prereq above a test session was performed, follows is the results of that test!
