"We are a full power FM in the USA and the system sounds great on the air, the crossfades are nice and tight, and StationPlaylist Creator has made it a snap to put new music into the library. I use StationPlaylist Studio 24 hours a day, and also for my morning live show, and it makes it very easy to do a show and gather and write news at the same time."

Why are some songs and spots fading out too early?
Studio provides an intelligent automatic crossfading system.  This starts the next track playing when the last peak volume of the current track drops below -14 decibels by default.  This system works very well for most tracks, but in some cases, manual adjustments may be required.  There are several solutions.

  • Manually specify a segue position for a track.  This can be done in the Track Tool available from Creator and Studio.  Or use Track Properties and set the Segue position to 0.  This will play the entire track with no crossfading.
  • Adjust the automatic crossfade parameters on the Input options tab.  Change the Segue DB setting to say -18db.  All tracks will fade out to a lower volume before the next track starts.
  • Apply some waveform compression to spots so that the volume is reasonably consistent throughout the track.  This can be done using an audio editor.
  • Turn off crossfading for all spots.  This is an option on the Input options tab.  Note that spots will still crossfade if a manual Segue position has been established for an individual track.
