Setting 'time-left' triggers for Voice Tracks within "File Types" Settings

[box26609]

Under "File Types" in Settings we currently have the ability to create file types and assign specific folders for where those files will be located. We also have the option to have that particular file type treated as a voice track by checking the appropriate box for it, and even associate specific music beds with it, and set levels. Very wonderful.

My question is, would it be possible to include additional settings that would allow us to determine the number of seconds left on the preceding song that would trigger any voice track scheduled or placed after it? I ask because I have over 10,000 songs in my music library, and I cannot imagine having to manually set outro points on each file that would trigger the voice track. I'd never finish. If it became possible to have the option to set a 'time left' trigger for voice tracks falling under particular file types, then what would happen is that it wouldn't matter which song it is, the voice track would be triggered when there is, for example, 10 seconds of whatever preceding song there is left to play - if we have set the voice track to trigger when there are 10 seconds of any preceding song left. This setting would apply to all voice tracks within that specific file type.

Or if there is another way to do something close to this kindly let me know.

Maybe the Auto Intro feature will be a better fit for your needs: https://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/auto-intro.htm

I tried all of today testing this but, sadly, it doesn't do what I'm asking about.

Auto intro seems useful for what should play before a track, rather than what should play after it or how soon before the end of that track the item should be triggered.

Currently I load my voice tracks onto the playlist by pre-recording them separately and assigning the audio files into specific folders with corresponding categories in the playlist generator. When I generate the playlist the voice track then appears where is supposed to, usually after a song. My voice tracks have also been assigned their own file type in settings, with music beds allocated for each. So far so good. My problem is, because I haven't set outro markers on my songs, all the voice tracks will usually only be triggered to play at the mix point of the song before, which is usually at the end. Thus the voice track doesn't 'blend' very well with the preceding song. I could, of course, manually move each voice track into position in the segue editor but that would be too cumbersome to do for all instances.

My suggestion is to have a setting that allows for a specific file type (as determined in the General settings) to be triggered when there are a specific number of seconds left (or any time of one's choosing) on any preceding song. This way it would be easy for the voice track to start playing, let's say, 10 seconds before the end of any preceding song, without needing to have set outro markers on each and every song in my library, which I may not be able to do as I have over 10,000 songs.

I want my voice tracks to start playing within a predetermined time frame before a song ends but without first having set the outro markers on every song. If this would be possible, in my case for the sake of convenience I'd probably just select a -10 second trigger by default in my settings. Ideally this feature I'm proposing would allow each user to select their own time frame for each file type that is to be treated as a voice track.

We'll consider this for the next updates. An option called like "Default Outro value" may be added for this.

This will be very good. Thank you for your consideration! I appreciate it.

Hope "Default outro value" is in the works for the next update! Been waiting for it. I would recommend that it apply for tracks where outro markers have not already been set by the user and skip it for the tracks that already have the outro markers set.

Yes, it will be added in the upcoming RadioBOSS 7.1, and of course the default option is only applied to tracks without Outro set.

Sounds very encouraging. Thank you for this. Looking forward to it's implementation.

Saw this in the new beta version. I am grateful beyond comprehension. Thank you so much! Will test it and offer fredback. You guys are the best.

Great feature purpose Box !

I purposed some months ago a feature for AutoIntro, It would be great if the autointro could also function between the end of the previous song and the start of the next one. So that it bridges the gap between Outro and Intro in an intelligent way. I use the Voicetrack system for this, but I think it should also be possible from AutoIntro, and sometimes if the intro or outro are too short it can have strange working and the voice track is playing on song lyrics.

Best

Auto Intro has an option to end at track's Intro, this seems to be what you need. But it doesn't consider Outro, though.
