General Discussion / Re: How do I import music files

« on: April 03, 2017, 05:21:24 pm »

It is not possible yet to play the announcement before the song, but I have been asked quite a few times in the last couple weeks for that option so I am working on a configuration option for the user to align the music and announcement at the beginning, end, or just by arbitrary time to mix them together.    Expect to see that in the next version released sometime after the height of the season.  I try to not to release updates when the app is in heavy use so I don't break things and anger the user base.

Ok, now i understand...  I am impressed you went to such great lengths to get the songs cropped and loaded through itunes.  That was the work i hoped to avoid for most people by the cue and duration settings. 

Anyway, i did not expect people to go through that effort of recording and then importing announcements through iTunes.  The method to import announcements if they are in mp3 format is to email them to yourself and then open that email on your device.  If you then tap and hold for a second and then release on each announcement file, there should be a popup menu of destinations for the file and 'copy to walkout songs' should be in the list.  Once they are imported they should show up in the imported announcements list.

Note: This option is only available in version 2.3 or later of wsdj, so make sure you have the latest version.

Let me know if that works for you and i apologize for the confusion in the interface.

Joefla70, Can you please provide me a little background on what you are trying to do? 

What is the source of the announcement files you are trying to import?  Do you know what sound file format the announcements were recorded in?

There is no hard schedule for releases because it's just me writing when I have spare time.  However, I try to avoid putting out releases from mid-February to June so I can avoid breaking things for people using the app for their season.

Yes, that features is already on the list for the next version.  The implementation will likely be some method to allow the user to arbitrarily align the song and announcement based on time.

That one means to play to end instead of fading out at the configured time.    That is typically used for the first batter of the inning when there is more time available .

It doesn't sound like you did anything wrong...  you describe functionality that should work.  I haven't heard of any problems reported in that area, but I will run some tests on my setup to see if a bug has been introduced somewhere along the line.

Just to clarify, what do you mean by (which has been cued) ?

News / Professional voice announcements

« on: March 10, 2017, 12:34:37 pm »

Did you know?

With the latest version of Walkout Song DJ, you can use professional voice announcements for your players! Do a screen shot of your team roster from the Walkout Song page and send it Casey Motter at https://www.facebook.com/allstarintros/. Casey is the stadium announcer for the Atlanta Braves. For a pretty reasonable price, he will record announcements for each of your players and send an email back to you with all the announcement files. Simply open Casey's email on your device, long tap each announcement file and select 'Copy to Walkout Songs' and the announcement will be available to select for your player from the announcement picker.

There is no login for the app so there really isnt a concept of users. 

There are individual team pages so multiple teams could be setup and shared in the app.  I have spoken to league representatives who use one instance of the app for all the teams in a league.

Would that work for what you were thinking?

iOS makes handling music files outside of their apps way more complicated than it needs to be.

The  way to import songs into Walkout Songs is to email them to yourself then open the email on the device.  Long tap the song file attachment and select 'copy to walkout song dj'.   That should copy it to the local file domain of Walkout Song DJ and make it available in the imported files list.

Issue Reporting / Re: Sound Quality

« on: March 03, 2017, 07:20:39 am »

Hmmm...  that is odd.  I have never had anyone complain about the sound quality since I first released the app back in 2013...

The only two modifications to the raw audio samples that the app makes are to alter the volume of individual songs via the gain control or to boost or diminish frequencies through the equalizer settings.

Do you have the equalizer settings enabled?

Do you have the gain for the songs set higher than the default?

What is the source of the songs that sound distorted?  Were they purchased from iTunes or imported from some other source?
