GKIye Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Well .. you'll find attached my crossfade settings They give very good results by using both the S-curve and Line fading SAM don't fade files lesser than 7 sec ... works out very nice to short IDs or promos However you can always add to some specific tracks / songs a seperated crossfade ... because there are songs who start with an intro who has a very low volume .. at that moment you can choose into the settings of that particular song for "no crossfade" (aka disabled) .. because it can happen if the intro volume is to low that SAM gonna skip that track Hope this was usefull Visit and listen @ BW !

MADcHATTER Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Well I like how Arthur has his...but mine are a slight bit different, instead of dropping the sound level 83% I only drop my 30 - 35%. So the music is still heard solid in the background by my voice is in the foreground through nice mic levels. Pretty much what most FM rock stations like to do... I guess its all a matter of preference! This is mine! But the fade out/in times are almost identical! lol MADcHATTER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwdservices Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 In my opinion, there is no such thing. All depends on your genre and your style. Everyone will have a different opinion about what is better. Just as an example, a station that played Smooth Jazz wants songs to fade out slowly and have very brief silence in between songs; whereas, a station that played some sort of upbeat format like Hip-Hop or Rap, wants all the songs to be pushed together as close as possible and for you to not even hear the song fade out. Then a Top40 station or classic rock station would be in the middle of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKIye Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Thats correct Karl ! I agree but it ain't bad to share some of what We are doing Visit and listen @ BW ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THREETEN RADIO Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I agree also, a lot will depend on how the mp3's (or other formats) are edited. Mine are topped and tailed with no gap at the beginning and a short fade to end with no gap at end. Other people may edit differently and some do not bother at all. My songs don't overlap as such but fade until you can just hear it and then the next one starts. That's my format and style, each to their own really but thanks to Philippe and Arthur sharing their settings, it gave me ideas how to set mine.

Arfa B Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 The crossfades I set up were tested with a test bed of edited down songs and carefully chosen songs at that, all were totally different, and some had very awkward begiinings/ endings. They wre all interspersed with id's stingers ads etc and played out and the crossfades set up to never fail on me. I am glad to say, it all worked out perfectly in actual use. Over-lapping can cause terribl;e problems with certain material. My settings will never suffer in that way.
