You might use multiple cuts in a cart if, for instance, you have several takes of a promotional announcement. You'd add a "Promo" cart, then import each of the takes into separate cuts in that cart. If you configure no further constraints (e.g., day parts, weights, etc.), Rivendell will play the next cut each time that cart gets played. Some people place all of their legal station identification announcements in one cart (each as a separate cut); then each top-of-hour event simply plays the same cart, but you get the natural rotation of cuts within carts to "mix it up" so the legal ID doesn't always sound exactly the same... Hope this helps explain carts and cuts a bit! ~David
Thanks, David. That's what I thought. In fact, we are using multi-cut carts to rotate the station ID, just as you describe. Someone had an idea to use multi-cut carts for grouping community bulletin board announcements, but they wanted to be able to see the titles for each cut. That won't work, so we'll stick to one cut per cart.
