I have a station that plays weather forecasts on top of a music bed.
What we do now is open Audacity, pull in the forecast and the bed, and
save the combination as a single cut that gets uploaded to Rivendell.
What we'd like to be able to to is hard-code the bed into the log, such
that we only have to upload the forecast and it always plays on top of te
bed.
So far, I've conceived of two ideas:
1) The cart containing the bed is mapped to a SounPanel button, which is
"pushed" by a script called weatherbed.sh invoked by a macro titled
"Weather start" that immediately precedes the westher forecast in the log.
I test-ran this and it appears to work.
2) Set up the bed with a Segue cue a fraction of a second into its audio,
with the End Segue cue at the end of the bed. Thus, the forecast that
immediately follows the bed on the log will play on top of it.
The problem with both of these approaches is that I want the weather to
always be exactly 30 seconds, the length of the bed, regardless of how
short a file the weather guy may send us.
Will either of these methods produce that result? Or will the bed end and
the next event on the log start right at the end of the weather guy's
audio, if it's less than :30? On my test run, both were close enough to
:30 that I couldn't tell.
