QuickTip:  Using Cue to Overlap with Network Return

When coming out of a break and playing an image line or bumper music leading
back into satellite network programming, it can sound nice to have some
overlap if you have your timings right.  It's a very easy thing to
accomplish in Command Center 4.0 and above.

Open the folder containing the bumper or liner you want to allow to overlap,
and place a value in the Cue column.  If you don't see the Cue column, add
it from the Attributes pulldown menu at the top of the window.  Type-in a
value in seconds, representing the amount you want to allow the cut to
overlap with the network.  You can limit the amount of overlap to what you
consider safe based on your experience with the timing the network uses, how
long their return music lasts, etc.

Note that the Cue feature assumes any level adjustments are already
accounted for.  There is no ducking done, so this technique will work best
if relative levels between the outputs of Command Center and the network are
properly calibrated.

There may be other attribute-related features you're missing out on.  Here's
the full of adjustable attribute values used by the TuneTracker System:
