XStudio 3190

two extra songs (in our example) are not needed.

XStudio provides the means to get back on track - get synchronized with the clock - either in a non-

intrusive way or a rather abrupt way. These methods are referred to as a "Soft Sync" and "Hard Sync",

respectively. Both methods are driven by the log using a Directive Key added to a standard log

directive.

In the following examples, we show how to place a single synchronization

command on the log for a given hour. There is not a limitation on this technique

- you can place as many synchronization commands as are needed on the log.

Using the Soft-Sync Method

The Soft-Sync method is the most commonly used method of synchronization because it is not

noticeable to the listener. To force a soft synchronization, modify a log directive that appears on the log

(has a log time) at the time you want the synchronization to occur, or add a new Load Required

directive with the desired log time. Add a Cast-Off directive key to the directive. As viewed in XStudio,

the log appears similar to the example shown.

Soft-Sync directive key, as it appears in XStudio

In our example, when the clock reaches 3:00:00 PM, XStudio detects the synchronization key and sets

the Next-To-Play marker to the first element following the directive. The effect is that XStudio skips

over any remaining unplayed audio for the preceding hour and when the audio currently playing

reaches EOM, it starts playing the first audio item following the directive. Since this occurs when the

currently playing audio finishes, the actual start time of the next audio will vary with the remaining play

time of the active audio. Thus the term "Soft-Sync", which means we got "close" rather than exact.

Refer to the definition of Soft-Sync and the Cast-Off directive key documentation for additional

information.

Using the Hard-Sync Method

As the name implies, the Hard-Sync method of synchronizing playback to a particular time is an abrupt

method, but it is more exact. Like the soft synchronization method, hard synchronization is driven

adding a directive key to a log directive. Change an existing directive or create a new one for the

specific time you want the synchronization to occur. Add a Hard Sync directive key to the directive. As

viewed in XStudio, the log appears similar to the example shown.
