The volunteer who voice tracks the links tells me the following: When recording the link he positions it carefully to work with the extro / intro of the song On playout when broadcast, Myriad often re-positions the start / end of the voice track link thus making it sound awful I'm assuming this might be because Myriad needs to make adjustments to ensure the hour is delivered exactly to time in A-Fade mode Thanks.

Myriad should 'lock' songs either side of voice links, thus it can't drop of fade them. -- Myriad user since 1998, now custodian of dozens of Myriad,Autotrack, Powerlog and Scoop boxes of many different flavours. http://www.philedmonds.com Edited 12 Years Ago by philedmonds 295

Some cards when set to "Single & in Sync" cannot start playback of another wav when the soundcards is already outputting one. So this would leave Myriad waiting for the soundcard to respond and adjusting the sound of the segue. Regards David Boulton Brand Manager Broadcast Radio Ltd 288

It's happily playing the voice links, just moving them sometimes in relation to the intro / extro of the songs they are positioned between. I checked with the presenter whether he was saving any adjustments he makes to the position of the seque but he never adjusts the position so this is not going to be the source of the problem. Could it be a setting we've got wrong? In Myriad Station Database settings it's got a tick next to the option 'Allow items preceding voice links to be faded at their normal extro'. Is this as it should be? I was trying to work out what this would actually mean in reality and am still scratching my head!! Any thoughts? Thanks, Neil Hollins 107.5 Switch Radio 302

Is it just this one presenter who has the problem? Do they log into the system with their own username, have you set any customisation options for them? Can you send us an example of a link that sounds wrong after its been edited (an off air recording??) - also if you could send us a support file then we can have alook at your settings to see if we can see anything else?

I'll ask the presenter concerned to note any specific incidents and then get a recording together. Thanks for now. Neil 284
