Automated Beat Mixing (ABM)
Introduction
OtsAV includes Automated Beat Mixing. The Ots philosophy on automated
beat mixing is that every beat mix is clean, accurate, and would emulate
(or better) what a professional DJ would perform in real life.
OtsAV's Automated Beat Mixing benefits include...
- Automated beat mixing you can rely on and trust
with quality, accurate, professional results. (Ots Labs BeatMorph Technology™)
- Songs can be randomized and still achieve phrase-mixed
automated beat mixing at an appropriate mix-length.
- Slider range options (+/- 4, 8, 16, 32, 64
& 100%). Time-scale right down to stationary and up to double-speed!
- High-quality Time-scaling produces clean mixes
and allows mixes with large differences in BPM. (Ots Labs ClearScale
Technology™)
- BPM stored in Ots file at 4 and a half decimal
places for a high level of accuracy (e.g. 130.89209).
- Beat Info Chunk Handler
provides full user control of setting a highly accurate:
- BPM per intro/outro.
- Match-point per intro/outro.
- Maximum range pre and post the match-point.
- Non-percussive intensity values for pre
and post match-point.
- With the universal BeatMorph™ system, this
information only has to be set once and it will mix into any other beat-tracked
song professionally and smoothly. OtsAV will automatically beat mix the
songs over the maximum length possible while maintaining appropriate volume
levels throughout the transition, changing the primary focus at the "magical"
match-point, and will keep the songs in sync using time-scaling, and change
the tempo leading up to the match-point if in "restore mode".
Unlike other systems which require manual adjustments for every single
song mix combination, and therefore are only good for assisting, the BeatMorph™
system is a set-song-once universal system which when set correctly will
work automatically and effectively with virtually unlimited song combinations.
- Run a fully automated 24/7 beat mix radio station,
TV broadcast or webcast and even beat mix into "beaty" station
IDs! No other TV / radio automation software in the world offers this
much power.
- Intelligent volume management during auto beat
mixes.
- Mix lengths are not
simply a fixed, set duration. They are in fact dynamic per song combination.
- Maintain
or restore tempo beat mixing modes.
- Compatible with Video and
Karaoke CD+G.
Note: Automated Beat
Mixing can only be performed using Ots files that have active Beat Info
Chunks. See the Ots Studio documentation for more
details.
