[Rfu-station] IMPORTANT note about setting up automation

[Andrew Ó Baoill]

I'm listening to the station, which is currently on automation. Most  
of the speech elements (in PSAs, speech programming etc) are  
distorted. I suspect this is because the automation fader has been  
left up too high. I stopped by the station yesterday to fix exactly  
the same problem, but it strikes me as most useful to remind all  
programmers of the issue:

Automation is often rather 'hot' or 'loud' - and at present we have no  
processing of the signal sent from automation to the mixer - so please  
take care not to put the automation fader up too high. Putting it a  
little below '0' is usually most useful. Hopefully at some stage we  
can introduce processing on the automation, allowing a standard volume  
from that input. In the meantime, it's better that the signal be a  
little low, and listeners have to tune receivers higher, than that it  
be too loud and the signal be distorted by out transmitter.
