Bars, clubs and events

# Bars, clubs and events

A queue per zone, a display at the bar, crossfades and guest song requests.

An example

Music that runs all day without a laptop, in every zone, with staff in control and guests welcome to ask for a song.

## What you get

- **A queue per zone:** bar, terrace and back room each play their own music, or join in sync for the late hours.
- **Control where staff are:** a touch display at the bar, any phone on the network, or a Stream Deck.
- **Display only:** a screen in the guest area shows what plays, and nobody can change it there.
- **Song requests:** guests with a listener account ask for a track, and staff accept or decline it.
- **No awkward silence:** crossfades between tracks, while albums and live sets stay gapless.
- **DJ sets as sets:** a recorded set plays with its track list, and the display shows which song mixes in.
- **Closing time:** a sleep timer that fades out, or stops at the end of the track or the queue.
- **Speakers for the room:** [a custom system](https://bitwerk.systems/studio/custom-systems/), a horn system planned, built and tuned for your venue, in the design of the bitwerk speakers.
- **Internet radio** with lossless stations, and a place to keep your performance licence number for radio.

## How do bars handle streamed music around live sets?

Before the band starts, the house music should end cleanly, not in the middle of a song. During the set the other rooms often keep playing, and afterwards the music should come back without anyone hunting for a laptop. With bitwerk:

- **Before the set:** one tap at the bar stops the stage zone at the end of the current song, or fades it out.
- **During the set:** the terrace and the back room play on, each with its own queue.
- **After the set:** play picks the queue up where it stopped, with a crossfade between tracks if you like.
- **One button for it:** the s1’s display, any phone on the network or a Stream Deck key at the bar; no laptop, no account, nothing in the cloud.
