[cma-l] Myriad Autotrack 4 - help

[Pippa at Curly Radio]

Hi Daniele,

Is your query related to when you have a live presenter, or when the studio 
is unmanned?  I'm not an expert in Autotrack, but take a look at the studio 
playout machine.

Across the top of the log (playout)  page, do you have 'Live'  'Live Assist' 
and 'Autofade' options?    It may need to be in 'Autofade' mode for this 
feature to kick in.   Another part of this feature is that it removes any 
red stops down the right hand side, meaning that you can leave it in 
'Autofade' mode to run right through the night without stopping, and it will 
keep to time.

Of course, every single station using Myriad seems to have it set up 
differently!!   David at Myriad / Psquared is very helpful too.

Hope this helps :)
Pippa

Subject: [cma-l] Myriad Autotrack 4 - help

Hello,

I was wondering if somebody using Myriad Autotrack (the version 4, not the 
pro one) would be able to help me solving an issue related to absolute times 
and 'fadeable' items in the log.

In the log there are some programmes that exceed the right duration and 
hence overrun into the next hour.
In the clock, on Autofade Mode, I put an absolute time XX:59:50 followed by 
a news sting (10 seconds long) in order to fade the programme out and play 
the news sting before the top of the hour.

However the programmes don't fade out and continue playing. Which means the 
news (played automatically from IRN) are often 'crashed'.

How do you set items to be 'fadeable' or 'droppable' in your clocks?
According to the Myriad manual AutoTrack Pro allows you to chose those 
settings; but I use AutoTrack, how do you make sure Pre-rec programme do not 
overrun in AutoFade mode?

Thanks for any help you can give,

Best
Daniele
