Comparing the True Blend™ Mixing Experience with Other Products

True Blend™ Media Player System

Most Other digital media player designs

Event:  Typical music file playback transition for AUTOMATIC advance in AUTO mode

OVERLAPPING transitions that automatically time and blend two stereo music tracks—from two discrete players; Track B begins playing at full volume as Track A starts to FADE*; levels and fade durations are logically controlled producing natural sounding concurrent audio; *True Blend™ can automatically adjust each track’s timing based on fade or cold (abrupt) endings; so, if a track ends COLD, the start of the next track will be heard to ADJOIN the end of the previous track

Non-overlapping transitions that generally consist of a gradual fade OUT for Track A, followed by a gradual fade IN for Track B; this single player design often results in unnatural premature fade outs for Track A, and clipped content for the start of Track B; typical “auto play” designs cannot reliably adjust for timing differences between fade end or cold (abrupt) end tracks—often, this results in a transition with a forced FADE for a track designed to end COLD

Event:  Typical music file playback transition for MANUAL advance in AUTO mode

OVERLAPPING transitions that automatically blend two stereo music tracks—from two discrete players; Track B begins playing at full volume as Track A starts to fade; levels and fade durations are logically controlled producing natural sounding concurrent audio; unlike other products, the True Blend™ design does NOT "dump" audio from the active player when a manual transition to the next track is executed

Non-overlapping transitions that generally consist of an immediate end of Track A audio, followed by a an immediate start for Track B audio; this single player design always causes the unnatural “dump” of Track A in order to permit the start of Track B

Event:  Fade durations applied for AUTOMATIC advance in AUTO mode

OVERLAPPING transitions that automatically blend two stereo music tracks—from two discrete players; Track B begins playing at full volume as Track A starts to fade*; shorter fade time applies a more aggressive fade slope but does not affect quality of blend as each track is reproduced in its own player; longer fades use a milder fade slope; *True Blend™ fade durations compensate for fade or cold endings

Non-overlapping transitions that generally consist of a gradual fade OUT for Track A, followed by a gradual fade IN for Track B; shorter fade time usually increases the unnatural effect of premature fade outs for Track A, and produces a more severe level “ramp up” for the start of Track B; typical “auto play” designs cannot reliably auto-adjust for timing differences between fade end or cold (abrupt) end tracks

Event:  Fade durations applied for MANUAL advance in AUTO mode

OVERLAPPING transitions that automatically blend two stereo music tracks—from two discrete players; Track B begins playing at full volume as Track A starts to fade; shorter fade time applies a more aggressive fade slope but does not affect quality of blend as each track is reproduced in its own player

Non-overlapping transitions that generally consist of an immediate end of Track A audio, followed by a an immediate start for Track B audio; changing fade duration has no effect because this single player design always causes the unnatural “dump” of Track A in order to permit the start of Track B

Event:  MANUAL and AUTOMATIC transitions during Preview Duration mode

User-selectable limited duration causes sampling of the first portion of each track on playlist; OVERLAPPING transitions automatically time and blend two stereo music tracks—from two discrete players; Track B begins playing at full volume as Track A starts to fade; levels and fade durations are logically controlled producing natural sounding concurrent audio

Preview (sample) mode feature may not be available; if present, non-overlapping transitions as described above are likely to occur

Event:  MANUAL and AUTOMATIC transitions during Programmed Duration mode

User-programmable duration permits assigning a precise (to within ¼ second) play time for each discrete track on playlist; OVERLAPPING transitions automatically time and blend two stereo music tracks—from two discrete players; Track B begins playing at full volume as Track A starts to fade*; levels and fade durations are logically controlled producing natural sounding concurrent audio; *True Blend™ can automatically adjust each track’s timing based on fade or cold (abrupt) endings; the True Blend™ design gives priority to pre-programmed durations, and seamlessly switches to calculated timing when appropriate; programmed durations are saved and automatically loaded with each track at run time

Programmed mode feature may not be available; if present, non-overlapping transitions as described above are likely to occur
