Adding a short gap after Voice tracks

[box26609]

I am curious to know how to create more space between a voice track and a sweeper. Currently on my station a voice track will play and will cut to a sweeper or commercial in an unnaturally instant manner, whereas usually on live shows there will tend to be a moment's pause between the presenter announcing a break and the break actually playing. I explored the use of inserting a pause but the the shortest pause I'm able to insert is one second, which is of course too long of a pause. Adjusting cross fade settings doesn't help either.

Any thoughts?

Or might you possibly explore implementing an additional voice track setting that would allow the user to determine the length of gap between the voice track and the next item on a file-type basis? If this is possible, even better would be if the bed (if there is one) continued to play in that gap until the next item which would make it sound even more natural because that's how a hosted show normally sounds.

Thank you.

You can create a sweeper that has required amount of silence at the beginning. In Track Tool set Start and End markers so that Gap Killer will not remove this silence.

Is it possible to exempt certain file types from the Gap Killer?

There's no such option, I'm afraid.

Understood. Perhaps for future consideration? Would be helpful in this use-case. In my case I would probably apply it only to music tracks and exempt voicetracks to achieve the effect I am seeking.

You can make it skip the gap killer if you set the Start and End markers in Track Tool.

I understand. Because I produce and schedule dozens of prerecorded voice tracks throughout the day for various shows, it would be more convenient if for as long as I place them in a specific folder (since I can predetermine file type on a folder basis) that those files can be made exempt from the Gap Killer rather than have to edit the markers for dozens of new individual voice track files daily. This would allow me to preserve the gaps at the end of the voice tracks and make the transitions sound more natural rather than too abrupt, which is currently the case.

Thank you for the information, we'll consider it for the future updates.
