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
Section titled “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, 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?
Section titled “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.
