== Fading in RDAirplay ==

'''Q:''' At the top of a clock, I want to fade the music for 4 seconds just before the next start time (00:00 in next clock)

I created an event Called FADE. It is a macro PS 1 4000!

If I run this macro with RDCatch at 59:56, everything works but I have to program for each hour !

If I put this macro in a clock, it does not work as I would like.

the clock:
<pre>
57:00 MUSIC EVENT (music, segue)
59:56 FADE EVENT (this macro, hard start time, PLAY transition )
next clock starts with a liner
</pre>
But at 59:56 the music stops abruptly, then it is the liner that is faded !

How do I get the music to fade at 59:56 and the liner resume at normal volume?

'''A:''' Ok, Here is how you can have a fade in RDAirplay at a certain time then stop the automation. No need for a macro.

1) Determine how long you want your fades to be when Rivendell segues to a '''hard start time''' (Start at + Start Immediately) event. Then go to ''RDAdmin>Manage Hosts>Select the Host>Edit>RDAirplay>Force Segue'' and enter the fade time in milliseconds. I am going to use a 4 second fade for this example so I put in 4000.

2) Record or use an audio editor to generate a audio file with the same length of silence (as entered in the ''Force Segue'' field above) and import this into RDLibrary.

3) Setup your log this way
<pre>
57:00 MUSIC EVENT (music, segue)
59:56 4 seconds of silence EVENT (hard start time, PLAY transition )
next clock starts with a liner
</pre>

This can also be used to stop the automation at a certain time and fade down whatever is playing before joining a satellite feed. Use a '''Transition Type''' of '''Stop''' on the next item in the log with a '''Start at:''' time to get the log rolling again after the feed.
