Talkover

Radio people often need to start talking before and after a song and they typically want to make this transition as smooth as possible.

Talkover is one of the software solutions that can help them, so they do not need to turn to additional hardware.

The main window of Talkover is designed to be as neatly organized as possible, without any colorful distractions. You can set it to be displayed on top of all the other open windows so you can easily edit settings.

You can adjust the microphone level, depending on the action you are currently performing - if you want to talk, it makes sense to keep the volume up (you can set its maximum level, along with the FSpeed and FFactor).

Otherwise, it is best that you mute it and alter the music volume as you see fit.

When you want to personalize the parameters, you can start by specifying the type of sound card you are using. If you want to use one that relies on ASIO address, you also need to make sure the required driver is installed.

In terms of music fading, you can choose between taking no action, using Winamp directly, a Windows mixer or MediaArchive.

If you want to go one step further, you can modify the Windows audio settings and alter the buffer latency. You are advised to set it as low as possible until sound interference occurs, then use the level above it.

The noise cancellation can range between light, off or strongly.

To summarize, Talkover can come in handy if you want to ensure smooth moderation and transition from music to talking and backwards. You might initially need to spend some time to come up with the ideal configuration, yet no tinkering is required afterwards.
