Sam Broadcaster Crossfade Problems

-
As hard as I tried I could never get SAM Broadcaster to transition smoothly between songs.

I'd either end up with a few seconds of dead air or a complete car crash of a crossfade.

All my files were ripped properly and volume levelled so that wasn't the issue.

SAM Broadcaster Crossfader

It happened with every version of the software from v2.7.9 through to the newer versions.

So it's not just a problem confined to one version of SAM Broadcaster but every single version of it.

The default settings would cut the end of songs off & jingles and station ID's would never fade/play properly.

I even tried settings suggested by Festerhead on the SAM Broadcaster forums but that only made the issue worse.

We think Spacial Audio ripped off a Winamp DSP plugin called SQR Crossfade to make the fadeout feature in SAM.

I need a little help with cross-fading when there is a voice-track or Station ID
SAM Broadcaster cuts off the last second of the track

Where would I deal with that? Can I see some Gap Killer settings?

This is not a problem I've encountered with RadioDJ.

RadioDJ crossfades without cutting the ends of songs off even songs with sudden endings seem to transition pretty well.

Station ID's and jingles also crossfade properly in Radio DJ. I've never had it cut off the end of a Jingle or Promo.

These are the crossfade settings I use with RadioDJ.

Fade Out Duration = 3900ms
Mixer Buffer = 3
Start Threshold = -25 db
Mix Threshold = -15 db
End Threshold = -28 db

If you've been frustrated by SAM Broadcaster cutting the end off jingle/promos/adverts off then I know how you feel.

That's where RadioDJ excels you can control the cue points far easier In RadioDJ than you can SAM Broadcaster Pro
