Brian, I’ve been wanting the same thing. I was thinking of writing a RLM to do 
it. It would look at the next thing in the log and replace an empty voice track 
with a cart that contains liners.

I don’t know if there’s a better way to accomplish the same thing.

Re: [RDD] Substitute Voice Track If Missing

2018-07-12 Thread Jonathan Cohen
I’ve been looking at exactly the same situation, though we also want to add 
“power intros” to songs if the presenter doesn’t voicetrack a link (where the 
intro contains audio relating to the next track to be played).

 
The solution I’m working on breaks all the Rivendell rules about not editing 
the database, but as it’s only the current log I’m hoping the opportunity for 
damage is minimal. Basically we have VT markers in the log before tracks which 
get voicetracked. Then we have a PHP script that will run just before midnight 
when the log is due to be loaded. Basically this will (it’s not finished yet) 
find any VT track that’s not been allocated a card number, get the cart number 
of the next track and then do a lookup on the ALBUM field of any cart in a 
special IMGINT group. This group contains just the intros and in the album 
field we put the cart number of the related music track.

 
If a matching intro cart is found the cart number is swapped in the log table 
with the power intro cart (this seems to work, but might be unwise). If one is 
not found, a generic station ID is used.

Another possible way to handle it is to schedule liners in front of the voice 
track break. When the announcer records their voice tracks, they remove the 
liners. That way the default is that if the hour has not been voice tracked, 
the liner will play.

Hello,

I have a unique situation whereby we have numerous student volunteers 

who do airshifts.  Sometimes they fail to show up for their shift, 
leaving the Program Director to scramble.  

To alleviate some of the load on the PD, I'd like to figure out a way to 
substitute a liner or similar content if a voicetrack is missing.  For 
example, if we have three or four announcer breaks an hour and the jock 
doesn't show up, I'd like the automation to pop a liner in there without 
needing human intervention.

I'm new enough to Rivendell that I think there's a way to do it but I 

don't quite have the knowledge to make it happen or the vocabulary to 

adequately search for an answer either.  Maybe a macro?
