We\u2019re so pleased to announce yet another awesome update to our Dynamic Insertion tools. Flexible Audio Blocks allow you to <em>fully<\/em> customize your Dynamic Insertion experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>What\u2019s New?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/redcircle.com\/blog\/take-your-podcast-operations-to-the-next-level-introducing-custom-audio-and-improved-audio-blocks\/\">previous update<\/a> introduced the ability to create your very own Custom Audio Blocks (with Custom Audio clips!) This update pushes that concept further with the ability to completely customize all Audio Blocks in your library. Yes, you heard us right. <em>All<\/em> Audio Blocks in your library, including the new defaults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"727\" src=\"https:\/\/redcircle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-2-1024x727.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redcircle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-2-1024x727.png 1024w, https:\/\/redcircle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-2-300x213.png 300w, https:\/\/redcircle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-2-768x546.png 768w, https:\/\/redcircle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-2-830x590.png 830w, https:\/\/redcircle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-2-230x163.png 230w, https:\/\/redcircle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-2-350x249.png 350w, https:\/\/redcircle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-2-480x341.png 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With this update comes three new Default Audio Blocks; the <strong>Default Pre &amp; Post Roll Ad Audio Block<\/strong>, the <strong>Default Mid Roll Ad Audio Block<\/strong>, and the <strong>Default Cross Promotion Block<\/strong>. Each of these default Audio Blocks can be changed in a multitude of ways. You can update the number of Audio Clip spots, add and\/or remove both Default and Custom Audio clips, add Fallback Audio in case an assigned clip doesn\u2019t play, and even change the play style!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside the ability to edit Default Audio Blocks, you can now add the Default RedCircle Ad Audio clip to your own Custom Audio Blocks! Let\u2019s say you have an intro to your show that you play on every single episode. Well, with Flexible Audio Blocks, you can add the Intro clip <em>and<\/em> the Default RedCircle Ad clip to the same Audio Block:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"378\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/redcircle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-11-07-at-9.56.09-AM-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redcircle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-11-07-at-9.56.09-AM-1.png 378w, https:\/\/redcircle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-11-07-at-9.56.09-AM-1-166x300.png 166w, https:\/\/redcircle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-11-07-at-9.56.09-AM-1-230x416.png 230w, https:\/\/redcircle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-11-07-at-9.56.09-AM-1-350x632.png 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 378px) 100vw, 378px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In the example above the Intro to your show would play, then an ad (either Programmatic or Host-Read) would play directly after, and finally, if you had a Cross-Promotion campaign active, your listeners would hear that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What if you don\u2019t have a Cross-Promotion but you want to fill the air instead of skip? Easy! Add a Fall Back Audio clip, like the Default RedCircle Ad clip, and that would play instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discover the full potential of <a href=\"https:\/\/support.redcircle.com\/audio-blocks\">Audio Blocks<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/support.redcircle.com\/what-is-dynamic-insertion\">Dynamic Insertion<\/a> in our Help Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One final note: We couldn\u2019t have made this update without <em>you<\/em>!
