Gap Killer / Silence Detection

30 votes

Will Live365 be incorporating a "Gap Killer" anytime soon... those couple seconds of dead air can really hurt a station's listening viewer count as listeners may log off.. Im pretty content with live's scheduling and autodj software but a gap killer would make it even more better without having to use a 3rd party automation software! Please Get Us A GAP KILLER!!!

This was one of the complaints I recently issued to you guys. To me it would seem like a "common sense" issue not
to have "Gaps" in between tracks because it doesn't make the station sound professional. And for the reasons
"Mixx 716" described.

A flipside: I may be an oddball, but I hate crossfading and I add silence to both the start and finish of each song. Every person has his own style, but to me it's about respect for art. Every second of a song is integral to it IMO, and plastering one on top of another is unthinkable - a couple seconds' silence between songs is a needed "gear shift".

most definitely please!...Makes a smoother sound to the overall performance.... 'dead air' sounds less professional. Thank you.

The problem with a "gap killer" is this: how much "gap" are you talking about between songs? 1 second? 2 or 3? Which number does Live365 pick? Then what about songs that have a second or 2 or 3 somewhere in the track? You can see what would happen. The best way IMO to eliminate "gaps" is to trim your songs and use the crossfade option. That would give you MUCH more control over your broadcast than a generic "gap killer".
