How can I do that?

[pety]

This is the situation:

I have one online radio station, wich I want to split it in two.
One to be for young people and the other one to be for old people (two radioboss and two different ports for stream). The difference is made only by music. All The other content will be the same.

Questions:

• How to make the scheduler once for both?
• How to make LIVE TALK SHOW for both in the same time?

Any suggestions? Thanks !

The easier solution would be to create two different stations. Then create scheduled events on one station and copy them to another one (you can easily transfer the .sdl files). Note that folder structure for scheduled files has to be the same on both machines.

Thanks!
What about the Live Show? Can be possible for two station in the same time?

This will be complicated. I think you should use some sort of VoIP software + VAC, so both stations will be able to play the conversation.

Another (better) solution is to:
- run a "Master" station which will host scheduled events and Live shows
- "Slave" stations will play the music and (using the Scheduler) will switch from own music to Master station and back
This is how big stations work - the main station plays music and shows, while regional stations insert their own advertisements.
You can make use of the DTMF feature for it.

What you say about my solution?
In the first station I will schedule some commands: disconect at specific time.
In the second station I will manually connect the broadcast for the first station.


In this way the live show will be for both stations.
Maybe we can think at this. What do you say?

Yes, this will work - I've edited my previous post which includes similar solution.

Yes, it is good.
I realise that I did not explain well.
It is about the same radio station wich transmits the exact scheduler except the music.


One station will be with old music, for people between 45 - 80 years.
Another station will be with harder music for youngs.


On the same PC will be two RadioBOSS wich will transmit (broadcast) in the same time on different PORTS.
So will be easier to set up. No DTMF nedeed.

Your solution when it connects/disconnects by schedule has a disadvantage that it will disconnect all the listeners from the stream... That's why I advice you more complicated setup (with 3 RadioBOSS'es - Master and 2 Slaves) which does not have this disadvantage.

Understand!
Can you make a tutorial about that?
I can't see how will work with three RadioBOSS'es. The scheduler will be the same on both RB's except the music. I really do not see how...

Three RadioBOSS setup, the idea:

1. The "Master" RadioBOSS runs all scheduled events and Live shows. Its main output is "Virtual Audio Card Line 1".

2. The "Slave" RadioBOSS (#1) is the station for young people. It plays the music. The only scheduled events it has are the events which start "Line Input" (Line.In) - the line input is configured to "Virtual Audio Card Line 1", so it's effectively playing the "Master" sound (live events, etc).

3. The "Slave" RadioBOSS (#2) is the station for old people, it plays another music. All other setup is the same as in Slave #1.

If you don't know the exact times when to turn on/off Master re-broadcasting, that's where DTMF can come in handy (but setup will become slightly more complicated - I'd suggest starting with fixed-time events first).

Thanks!
I will try it.

So, Master will do not broadcast.
Only "slaves", isn't it?

Yes.

Yes.

Cool! Nice ideea, thanks again!
I will test this schema this week and I will let you know about my progress 

 

[pety]

Is it possible for "slaves" to have in Playback - Main - No device ?

 

[pety]

If in MASTER I will play Events and LIve Talk Show, only here I need MIC input. So, the slaves can use "No device" for Main Playback? Only for Input, as you said, VAC1.

 

[djsoft]

Is it possible for "slaves" to have in Playback - Main - No device ?

Yes, you can broadcast to the network (using the Broadcast) feature with no sound card selected.

RadioBOSS the best in the world
