Tech Specs: AudioVault

Using AudioVault Digital Automation

MusicMix offers this log format which is used when the log system is set to "AUDIOVAULT,"  and another format which is used when the log system is set to "BE" (see "Using Broadcast Programming Digitial Automation").  This format is based on the "RCS-Selector" output format described in AudioValut documentation.  Audiovault users may use either format.

The Audiovault system allows you to set up a configuration file specifying how various music scheduling information will be located.  The output file from MusicMix listed below must match your Audiovault configuration set-up where  you can indicate which columns you'll use.
