More Cross-Fade Control
Some have suggested cross-fading during playlists and I know cross is an option now, however the following would be suggested:
1. Intersect the cross at a designated db rating e.g. -30db
2. Max Duration of the fade in seconds: e.g. 5 seconds
3. Ability to adjust fade in and out in seconds. e.g. Fade out: 3 seconds, Fade in: 1 second
Option to enable or disable in/out crossfade on track by track basis.
This would make a huge difference in the overall sound of the stations.

WillAbsolutely. Especially the ability to identify dead space at the end of a track.

Rick - 97.3 The ARCWill, exactly! Kinda like:
Trim silence [ X ] (Check to enable)
Trim silence at start if below:
-50 dB < >
Trim silence at end if below
-50 dB < > -

RobHundred percent on board with this! Actually came here to suggest better fading in and out of station IDs and promos as the silence before and after them is terrible.

James YokersWould like to see a 'slip-cue' option - fade out song 1, start next song full volume (no fade in) . Similar to #3 above, along with track by track option.

Jim DeBaunAll of these suggestions are great. At Sam Broadcaster we had more control of Cross-fade.

Alex H. NievesThis feature needs work. It should act like a "Blend" but I don't hear that. If I select a 3 second cross fade then I would expect the incoming track to intro 3 seconds before the playing track ends. I clip my tracks at the end with no dead space at the end still this feature does not crossfade well and to boot makes the incoming track like someone raising the volume at the last minute. I would love this feature perfected. It would definitely make a huge difference. Include Station ID too.

Tim BoudreauAgree with all the comments above. I have come to the point with my file editing where I have done all I can do. It's up to Live365 to get this feature fixed for us asap. My station will never flow well as long as I can't control overlap. I want overlap, no fade. I do my own fading on my files, and I want the next song or my announcement to come in full volume. I want overlap in .25, .50, .75, 1.00 second increments at the very least, if we can't get the ability to enter our own fractions.

BilldB based crossfade is a must-have feature for me. I tried using the autoDJ without it and quit because of all the dead air between songs. My offline playlist software fixes this perfectly with more intelligent crossfade and as soon as that is working here I'll switch to it.

USA Dance MixYes when the system finds dead air at the end of track it would be nice if was able to MOVE ON to the next track.

FredI've tried many Crossfade Types, various lengths of Crossfade durations & Fade-Ins/Outs. But nothing I try removes a silent gap at the end of an element, which can sometimes stretch up to 7 or 8 seconds. There's simply no consistency regardless of the settings I select. Dead air can sometimes be 2 seconds and other times it's 8 seconds. I don't always need overlap; I just want them tight. Especially in & out of IDs, Promos & Stop Sets. We need more control over dB trigger settings.

DavidAn auto crossfade per track with the ability to set personal preference crossfade settings per track. Start of song/End of song settings and segue (crossfade) begins at the end of each song or promo, ID, etc. is essential for a radio station.
I've been in radio broadcasting and know that this is a given fir for any radio station. And of course audio processing., which is in another thread. I'll be happy to address that concern as well. Happy Broadcasting 😊 -

SakeBitoDissenting view: Crossfading vs. silence gaps should both be available choices. So I add silence buffers to the start and finish of every song I upload. YMMV, but if a listener is fickle enough to tune out over a gap, then arguably he wasn't into the station anyway. Personally I hate crossfading - it's disrespectful to the songs IMO.

John Lyman MergedOne thing that would possibly make auto DJ stations sound better would be to have the option to do either of these two things:
A) Have the option to disable crossfading on a per-track basis.
or
B) Have the option to disable crossfading globally; i.e., disable crossfading on tracks of a certain length or less.
The crossfading in AutoDJ mode is pretty good, but occasionally Station ID's, short promos, etc., get caught in the crossfading and it doesn't sound very professional.
