OnAIR TrackMixer (OTM)


CrossFadeMixer is not supported by Database Manager v5.x

The OnAIR TrackMixer (OTM) is a simple tool to define crossfades in an audio entry and mark specific positions. Such editing is done to prepare an audio file to be broadcasted with TurboPlayer (and the BCS System). For more information, please refer to the TurboPlayer manual.

For a selected audio entry, the OTM can be accessed in several ways:

  • simply by dragging the entry to the OTM tool button  ToolbarOnAirTrackMixer.png , or

  • via the Entry menu option Entry to OnAIR TrackMixer, or

  • via the Entry tabs Music2 or Marker/Subclips and pressing the button Open in OTM.

    Please note: for displaying all possible tabs in an Entry mask, double click on an entry and press ctl+shift+A.
