Why 3.1 is the best product we have ever released.
Representing a full year of development, The new Command Center 3.1 is easily the most sophisticated, featureful, and strikingly beautiful product we have ever offered. We encourage you to watch the six minute real-time video on the left, or for the full-quality version video, download it from our downloads page. Also visit the Command Center page for crystal-clear example screens, and our Complete Systems page to see our exciting new line-up of "Station-in-a-Box" computer systems, some of which now feature touchscreens and switcher [ackages!
For those who have difficulty watching the video, here's a partial list of the powerful new features found only in Command Center 3.1:
- Beautiful New Interface - We hope you love the new look as much as we do!
- Segue Markers - Now, during automated times, you can do artistic overlapping of your songs by specifiying how much each song may safely overlap with the songs surrounding it. Just add segue markers to your songs, and Command Center will overlap the songs by however much you allow. Every song's segue time is marked separately, giving you complete artistic control over all segues. It makes your station sound like there's a DJ sitting right there running the board.
- Ramp Countdowns - Every song's "ramptime" (the allowable amount of time a voice-track can talk over a song) is now dynamic. Not only will Command Center overlay a pre-recorded voice-track with ramps precisely, but during live DJ'ing, the ramps present a real-time countdown of the amount of available time before the singing or main melody begins, so the DJ knows when to stop talking.
- New "Info" Feature - A new attribute has been added to the TuneTracker System that will turn every member of your on-air staff into an instant musicologist! Using the included, newly-updated version of Army Knife, you'll be able to add copious amounts of information about the Artist, Album, or particular Title, to each song in your library. Then, to display that information in Command Center, right-click on a song and choose the new "get info" option, and the information will be shown in the scrolling text box.
Command Center's scrolling text box itself, which is so central to the system, has also been significantly enhanced!
- Expandable Text Display - When you hit Enter on your keyboard, the text box more than doubles in size, giving you a nice big reading area. Hit Enter again, and it returns to its more-compact size.
- Adjustable Text Size - CTRL-Up Arrow and CTRL-Down Arrow can be used to make text larger or smaller, to suit everybody's eyesight.
- Adjustable Font Style - CTRL-Left Arrow and CTRL-Right Arrow let you step through all of the available fonts in your computer, to find the one you like best. Save your favorite layout if you like. Restore the "factory default" size and style settings at any time.
- New "Run" Button - A new configurable button type! Launch any external program (such as Lightning, TuneStacker, TimeTracker, batch files, anything from any button in the configurable ButtonPad or MyShow areas. A great way to get things done quickly without having to ever having to change to another workspace or minimize Command Center.
- Edit Log Option - Need to make some "wholesale changes" to your currently-running program log? More than just some quick drag-n-drop edits? Right-click on the program log, right in Command Center, and choose, "Open program log in editor," and your program log will open up automatically in the text editor of your choice.
- Smart Start! In previous versions of TuneTracker, the automation would take its "best guess" as to where to resume in the program log after a restart or reboot, based on the last item played, or the location of certain time markers in the log. In Command Center 3.1, smart new logic chooses the exact right song to start with, based on calculated running times.
- Pre-Queue Feature - Hovering your mouse over any HotButton in Command Center now causes the audio file associated with that file to be pre-queued and "readied." You'll know it has happened, becauses the text of button will turn green when ready. Now, when you click the button, the track plays intantly, with no "lookup delay."
- Persistent Relaying - Great news if your station relays a streaming Internet signal from another location. Command Center 3.1 is much more robust about maintaining a connection, and if the signal is completely lost, recovering gracefully. This means that, for the first time, Command Center can be set up at the transmitter site and used to relay an Internet-based "STL stream" from your main studio location, or to allow you an alternate or backup method of feeding your main signal to a translator station location.
- O is for Output Log - You can now view the current day's Output Log (showing everything that has already played that day) in the scrolling text box. Just right-click on the text box and choose that option, or hit the letter "O" on your keyboard.
- Free Army Knife Upgrade! - We've added a whole new section to Army Knife, along with some handy cut/copy/paste options. The new Army Knife lets you add voluminous amounts of text information to your songs, for use with Command Center's new "Get Info" feature.
