Crossfade Issue for Me ...

[RebootFM.com]

Hey Guys,
It appears I'm having issues with crossfades on numerous tracks in my music library (see below example). Also be advised, I'm still pretty New to Radio Boss .
As the track seguoes to the next, the current playing music overlaps for a really Looooong time (it varies,15 secs or more/less at times) over the Next Up track. How do I avoid this issue?? There are other tracks in my library with an even wider Crossfade point !! ...
Note: Crossfade, Fade In & Out Settings are all set at 2.5 sec.

Please check if you have the "Trigger mix at" option enabled, this may lead to placing the Mix point earlier for quieter tracks.

I'm having a similar problem.... Im playing worship music with Earlier mix points I have set in the music library. What I understood was... When the audio reaches its mix point it will fade by the set fadeout duration since it also says start fading out on mix. But it doesn't happen. Songs just continue playing like they are in manual mode. Its kinda a mess , is it a bug?

*also the fadeout happens when the next item is a container for adverts. But between song and links its a mess...

If a track also has the Fade Out point set, it will override the "Start fading with mix" option.

Can you please provide more details on what is actually messed up? Screenshots of the configuration will help.
Crossfades have certain priority when applied:
Voice Track > Segue Editor > Track Tool > File Type Crossfades > General Crossfades.

I scanned from the library. No fadeout points set. Just start, mix and end.

Not on the RB machine now. But I had disabled fade in, mix point and only left fadeout settings since all music have been processed from the library. Even for the file type for music that I experimented with did the same... But music just keeps playing no fade out. For example a song has a mix of 20s.... A sweeper will play at the segue and next track starts but the previous track will still be playing all the way to end.

This doesn't seem to reproduce here, so, in order to test this, we'll need screenshots: main window with playlist contents, Track Tool windows for the involved tracks, and Crossfade settings window.

Here are some shots.

Thank you, we'll check if there's something wrong. One thing, from the screenshots it seems that you use the file type Songs while there's already Music file type (general crossfade settings).

I was testing different options. But results were the same. Thank you

Did you also use the Segue Editor? If so, it overrides any other settings (Track Tool or Crossfades window).

 

[Levine66]

I don't use the segue editor. What's crazy is when the playing song has a mix point is 30 seconds and next item is a container from Ad scheduler the fading happens... But not after IDs, Sweepers... I've tried all options even changing fade types from linear to parabola... Same thing. In my mind I just thought it would work like other automation that any point in the song you set a mix point or segue point it can fade out by the specified seconds.

 

[djsoft]

With the same settings as you have posted before, the fading does occur here correctly. Maybe IDs or sweepers have some special configuration?

One more thing to try: start the track that's not going to fade out, press Ctrl+F4, and send a screenshot of the small window that appeared. Probably a screenshot of the preceding sweeper crossfade settings will also help.

 

[Levine66]

Here are some screen shots... I've even tried using overrides.. But nothing. You could give me some settings to use... For music, sweepers and station id's as you intended them to be.

In the debug window, it shows that the fade out duration (time during which the volume goes from 100% to 0%) is 5.8 seconds - that means, there is a fade out.

When you use the Segue Editor, most of the settings from Crossfades window and Track Tool are ignored. Fade In/Out, Mix, Detect Mix, Fade Out on Mix - they are not used if you edited tracks in the Segue Editor as it sets its own parameters.

OK I get it. I don't use the segue editor. But this Is what I deduce... If I set the mix point earlier in a track and it shows 15s or 30s means that will be the time it will take to actually fade out not the set 2.5sec at fadeout at mix. That explains why songs that have fade endings still play in the background. I set my mix points earlier in a track for automation purposes and tight segues... In manual mode it's OK for the remaining part to still play because a dj can talk over it. Maybe the time set on mix at fadeout should happen regardless of whatever is set in tracktool.

Songs should have a mix point checked. like 2 seconds or so. Then it will trigger the next element and will fade.
