The skipping thing might be related to timed events. As noted in the
other reply there are many ways to do it. I use the AUX log.
Normally I do this:
AUX
59:55 --> Macro Fade MAIN log down over 5 seconds and stop
MAIN
00:00 --> Hard Timed Start (Stop transition if not yet time)
But for midnight I handle it differently:
MAIN
59:50 --> Make Next on the LOG CHAIN event (I use a marker/empty event
as the MN target)
AUX
59:55 --> Fade Down MAIN log and Play Next
MAIN - NEW LOG
00:00 --> This is not a timed event, otherwise you can get log glitches
due to machine timings (not fun when you run out of log at silly am).
The important bits are the make next and play next for the log chain
followed by no timed event for the start of the new log (midnight).

Hope everyone had a relaxing Memorial weekend!
Following James Harrisons OpenOB tutorial [1] (Thanks James!!!!)
and this wiki article [2] to capture the input of the sound card and
route it to RDAirPlay, we managed to pull off our first live remote
last night!!!
HERES WHAT WEVE DONE SO FAR...
* Created slightly modified* macro cart, based on the wiki above, in
RDLibrary, to capture input of sound card and route it to RDAirPlay
named REMOTE ON -- *We flip-flopped lines 3 and 4 in the RML macro,
and extended the time to wait until the intro was finished playing
before stopping RDAirPlay. (working)
* Created macro cart in RDLibrary to shut off capture of sound card
input named REMOTE OFF (working)
* Created an event in RDLogManager with a hard start time set to
make next with a pre-import cart for REMOTE ON.
* Created an event in RDLogManager with a pre-import cart for REMOTE
OFF.
* Built 3 generic (non-music) clocks as follows:
* Live remote first hour: Produced :20 intro for the remote, then
REMOTE ON from :20 to 59:59
* During live remote: between the first and last hour of the remote
that does nothing (except keep RDAirPlay on time and load the log at
midnight)
* Live remote last hour: does nothing for the first 59:40, then
plays
a TOH ID, then REMOTE OFF. It should automatically advance to the 2AM
hour of local programming.
* Scheduled clocks in the grid.
9PM went off without a hitch. Intro played and REMOTE ON routed
capture of sound card to RDAirPlay. All programming for the 5 hour
duration was sent via OpenOB back to the studio and it sounded
AMAZING!!! But things quickly devolved and the end was very sloppy.
Steps 1-6 work. But steps 7-9 seem to get skipped over and fail
miserably. Meaning, the log doesnt load at Midnight and RDAirPlay
skips through the commands and plays the 1:59 am TOH at midnight.
Dead
air at 2:00 requiring a manual log load and start. :-/
HERES WHAT WE NEED TO HAPPEN:
FIRST HOUR OF REMOTE (9:00 PM)
* 1st clock position: :00 - :20 produced intro for remote
* 2nd clock position: :20 - 59:59 REMOTE ON
HOURS 2, 3, AND 4 (10PM, 11PM AND 12MN)
* Timed event with NO AUDIO for 59:59.
* Do nothing, but keep time for RDAirPlay and load log at midnight.
* Maybe 11PM needs a dedicated clock for log load?
LAST HOUR OF REMOTE (1 AM)
* 1st position: 00: - :05 REMOTE ON (Do nothing for 59:35)
* 2nd position: 59:40 TOH ID
* 3rd position: REMOTE OFF
* Fire first local song of 2AM clock
Any help would me appreciated!
Thank you,
Brandon
