Extros that you feel will not sound great on air Long Extros usually make for sloppy sounding automation so it is useful to be able to keep on top of it with this report Only show Carts from XX to XX seconds long Allows you to limit the report results to Carts within a specific running time range 21 Only show Carts whose file lengths don t match their Cart lengths When you first record or import a Cart in to Myriad Myriad works out the Carts length based on the length of the file at that time Once it has done this it will only check the length again if you go in to Edit Cart on the Audio Wall otherwise it assumes that nothing is different Now lets say we imported a Billie Piper song some time ago and Myriad worked out correctly that the track was 3 minutes and 20 seconds long We have not edited it since so Myriad still knows that the length is correct Now lets say that last week our troublesome breakfast jock was playing around with Cool Edit but instead of opening it through Edit Cart gt Edit Audio on the Audio Wall he just ran Cool from the Start menu Say he then trims 20 seconds off of the end of the track Because he did not do it through Edit Cart gt Edit Audio Myriad doesn t know that the length has changed Myriad still thinks it is 3min 20 seconds long even although it is now only 3 minutes long Later that day the same track is due to be played in an automated show and of course Q NXT thinks it is 20 seconds
