Re: [RDD] Building a music library

Here is my contribution to the topic with a half-dozen years of Rivendell now under my belt. The Brett blog entry on scheduling has some useful tips: https://thebrettblog.wordpress.com/2009/12/31/rivendell-how-to-schedule-music/ One of the suggestions I have found very valuable is to tag all

Re: [RDD] Building a music library.

It is important you have a high grade sound card on any machine you use for collecting music, be it from CD or dubbing from some earlier format. Using any 'On Board Sound Card' is dangerous and you can actually hear the difference. I have been building a library of music stored on Rivendell

Re: [RDD] Building a music library.

Tongue-in-cheek: If you want to be competitive, just do what all the PDs, Producers, Production guys, and almost everyone Ive run across does: Download the source in crappy mp3 format. Bring it up in the digital editor and add compression until the resulting waveform looks like a rectangle

Re: [RDD] Building a music library.

On the other hand... If all your source material is 44.1 already and you're broadcast medium is constrained to 15 KHz, then using the extra time to transcode 44.1 source material to 48 when you rip and using the extra disk space seems a little silly. The audio from the 44.1 source is never

Re: [RDD] Building a music library.

Hi, I do agree with what Andy's said. To add a few thoughts: 1. On the 44.1/48 question, the only time I'd use 44.1 in this day and age is if 44.1 has already previously been set as a standard in a facility or there is some other compelling reason to use 44.1 (for example, some sound cards

Re: [RDD] Building a music library.

And be sure to think through your groups before starting. Get that right from the beginning with expansion room on the cart number ranges and it's easier going forward. I encourage setting up schedule codes at the beginning too so you can assign the codes to the carts as you go but these can be

Re: [RDD] Building a music library.

Hi, As you say, this is a major undertaking, so you need to get this right from the beginning. You don't want to be making any mistakes. My tips would have to be. 1) Make sure you start off at the right bit rate. Do you use 44100 or 48000? Part of this will depend on how you are going to
