Track-insert volume

Post by fredrich347 »

Is there a setting for the volume of a track-insert transition? I noticed the volume of it is quieter than when played separately in a DJ player, which results in a noticeable volume variation when using a VO transition type as it will sometimes be played in a separate player and sometimes not.

Attenuation adjusts the background track which is not what I'm looking for.

The volume of a track insert transition is not changed at all, but played exactly as is.
So I do not see any reason why the same track would play louder when played alone in a DJ Player.
Please provide 2 sample tracks to test them here.

I'm not the original poster but I found that track-insert volumes are affected by the gain of the background track.

e.g. if the background track has a gain of -10 dB and the track-insert track has a gain of +3 dB, then the track-insert track is played with an effective gain of -7 dB, while it would be +3 dB when played alone in a DJ player.

Not sure if this is intentional, but it causes inconsistencies in levels particularly when using a VO track-insert transition.

That would be it.

Is there any way to address that?

Yes, that is indeed true. I'll double check this, as this doesn't look/sound right.

A new v4.0.3.66-beta is available, which should address this issue.

To install the beta, please click on the blue question mark icon at the very top right and select "Check for Beta-Version..."

P.S.: I also tweaked the pure Random scrip-line mode a bit (according to this post of yours: http://www.proppfrexx.radio42.com/forum ... f=8&t=1927)

Thanks! The track-insert volume is working now.

I will be trying out the 'Random' line change over the next few days.
