  • Updated

Learn how to combine songs without interrupting your broadcast, add fade-ins, fade-outs, specify the start and/or end moments of the tracks.
Make your broadcast more professional! 

 

Mix points are individual settings for each song, to better manage their transitions. This makes it possible to sequence two files together without having breaks in your broadcast. When a song is uploaded to the Radio Manager, the mix points are calculated automatically if the option is enabled (Settings > Broadcasting > Enable automatic mix points). However, you can check or even edit them yourself by following the steps below.

Mix points are not obligatory, for example, clips can be trimmed without having a fade-in. Furthermore, all mix points are independent.

Here are the details of the 5 possible mix points:

  • Start: this is your intro, this is the position where the file will start (what comes before will not be read)
  • End: this is your outro, this is the position at which the file will stop (what comes after will not be read).
  • Mix: the position in that song will trigger the broadcast of the next song. However, the broadcast of the current song will not be stopped, so the two songs will be overlapped until the End point.
  • Fade in: if you add one, the volume will fade in from the Start point up to the Fade In point.
  • Fade out: if you add one, the volume will fade out from the Fade Out point up to the End point.



Top Tips:
• You can zoom in on your mix points so that they are set exactly where you want them.
