Does Studio have multiple player decks? |
The short answer is No. We decided to not go down the path of emulating multiple CD decks. We realize some DJ's prefer a more hands on approach, or have become accustomed to manually starting and fading multiple players with other broadcasting software, but we wanted to automate everything as much as possible without the need to manually control multiple players.
Studio internally utilizes 4 audio file players, 2 for the main player for songs and spots with crossfading, 1 voice track player, and 1 cart player. The software takes care of all mixing and volume reductions while overlapping etc. The 2 main players are mixed together before being output to one sound device. The voice track player and cart player can be output to independent sound devices on the Output options page if desired.
We know of several commercial stations that prefer this level of automation as it prevents mistakes, sounds professional, and most of all is much easier to operate.
The cart system may be used for overlapping tracks playing in the main player. This supports loading up to 96 individual tracks, usually used for backing music, jingles, or sound effects. As mentioned, this can be output to a different soundcard output device for manual mixing if required.
