Hard-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, as with the soft synchronization

method. However, in hard synchronization, XStudio stops all audio playing on the primary

playback channel (channel 1) and immediately starts playing the first audio item following the

directive on the log. The synchronization is immediate and abrupt, hence the term "Hard Sync". Since

XStudio begins playing the next audio item on the log immediately rather than waiting for EOM of the

currently playing item, synchronization of the scheduled air play time with the clock is very close,

generally within a few milliseconds.

Refer to the definition of Hard-Sync and the Hard Sync directive key documentation for additional

information.

Suspending Local Automation Manually

In our example, the radio station is running local automation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. But what if

we want to run a 4-hour live show? In our example - and in many other cases - it's a simple process.

You can suspend local automation by simply changing the XStudio operating mode to something other

than Automation. Use the main menu item Options | Operation Mode and select Live mode.

As soon as the mode is changed to Live, XStudio will no longer perform the synchronization

commands we described earlier. It will continue to play the log until you interrupt playback in some way

and take control of playback. For instance, you may simply turn auto-segue off (turn off the [Auto]

button on the primary transport) and wait until the currently playing audio finishes. At that point, it's all

up to you. Running a live shift when you normally run local automation is pretty simple, since the log

probably contains all content you need to play back - plus you have the flexibility to move items around

and do the normal things you might do during a live show, like taking phone calls and putting them on

the air, etc.

When the live show is done, use the main menu Options | Operation Mode to select Automation

mode. Start playing an audio item from the log and XStudio will continue from there, playing the log in

sequence. Any synchronization commands on the log are again active.
