(N.) CUE EDIT & TRACK MANAGER "ADVANCED" - "operating ideas"

[Nicky G.]

I think the most exhausting thing in a radio automation software is to put all the songs in the database and set all the necessary CUE points.
Here are some of my considerations for the request and improvement of CUE EDITOR.

1. as already requested I believe that having the CUE EDITOR as stand-alone software and TRACK MANAGER as stand-alone softwareis a good thing, to be able to install it everywhere or anyone without having to install RadioDJ (RDJ), and MSQL database etc .. this for the production is a real manna.

2.Cue Editor is a great tool, the possibility to have the waveform of the song helps in the search of the "musical beat" to mark intro, outro, voice etc ...
The most uncomfortable part in my opinion is to zoom inside the track. The operation is very slow (and speed up this operation I think it is essential to be able to set many audio tracks).
The zoom tool inside the track should work the same way as it works in Audition CC, the zoom + / - should work with the mouse scrool.
You can see the video of the operation by downloading it from this link: http://www.virtualnoise.altervista.org/Adobe%20Audition%20CC%20zoom.mp4

3. enlarge the screen to full screen

4. Increase the Zoom percentage on the track so as to set the Cue point more precisely.
es. 500% / 1000%....

5. The vertical lines above the track where the various points are positioned can not be done with a greater thickness? I find it difficult to see them well and sometimes even take them to move them manually.

6. Press the track PLAY / STOP with the pivot bar

7. Is it possible to add more NEXT points? I appreciated the possibility of inserting a voice over from a next point (like a jingles with a base, the VO will start after the jingle sung but will remain in the background with the base), but not having a next point at the end of the jingles, the passage with the next song is too clear ... maybe adding more points of next is ideal for these uses ...

8. the addition of a VO (voice over) marker, with END setting, in practice I put a point in the middle of the track where it is feasible to insert a jingles (random or defined) and that jingles must end up playing when reaches the set point VO

9. I would suggest adding keyboard commands to the SET of track points
       
S = start
I = intro
Pag Up = Loop In
Page Down = Loop Out
HOME = Hook In
END = Hook Out
INS = Voice Over Ins
Next In: N
Next Out: Ctrl + N
O = Outro
E = End

DELETE = delete selected pointer (set 0.00)

10. Insert a VU METER to manually adjust the track volume, as it is now I can increase the volume of the track (loudness), but I will never have the certainty of the volume, I just have to rely on my ears and is not always optimal as a thing .

11. You would need a button to switch to the EDIT TRACK mode to set or change the TAG, Category, etc. values. without closing and reopening, I press the EDIT TRACK button and open the track in that panel. The same thing works with the CUE EDIT key on the EDIT TRACK screen.

12. Have a Next Song button, Previous Song so you can immediately switch to the next song setting
(in practice it serves to speed up the process)
