I built a Rivendell machine for WZBR AM 1410 a couple years ago when that
station moved from Brockton to Boston, MA; it's been running flawlessly.
Last month, however, my client decided to lease the station 24/7 to a
third party, and had me move the machine to the transmitter site where its
function would be to run a top-of-hour ID on top of programming that would
be coming from the broker's new studio via Internet stream.
The broker's new studio isn't ready, so he's been feeding the station from
somewhere in California. The stream has been dropping out a lot, so I
suggested he give me his audio files and I'd load them into the Rivendell
machine and play them from the transmitter site until his studio is ready.
His audio files are all MP3's, alas, but I rdimported them all last night
and put them on the air about three hours ago.
At the end of each cut, I hear an electronic buzz for five to ten seconds
just before the transition to the next cut. I don't know what's going on,
but I'm guessing it has something to do with the transitions. I've tried
fiddling with the crossfade times and using "play" instead of "segue"
transitions, but nothing seems to answer.
Just now, I heard a clean transition, but it happened about four minutes
into a supposedly 17 minute cut. Looking at Edit Markers, the cut is in
fact only four minutes long; somehow Rivendell got bad information from
rdimport.
I believe a good many of these cuts are shorter than Rivendell thinks they
are. Is there a way to fix this other than manually through Edit Markers?
