1. A digital blending system comprising:
a computing device comprising at least one processor;
a non-transitory computer readable medium, having stored thereon, instructions that when executed by the computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
receiving a transition request, the transition request including at least one of an out element and an in element of at least one transition adjacent at least one content item of at least one recipe, the at least one recipe comprising a sequence of a plurality of elements of content of a break, and the at least one content item including at least one of audio content and video content;
coupling to at least one metadata file of at least one audio file using a wired or wireless link, the metadata file comprising audio content parameters measured or calculated from the at least one audio file;
calculating a transition between the out element and the in element;
scheduling the sequence of plurality of elements for the transition in accordance with the at least one metadata file; and
adding the out element to the at least one recipe, wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium includes instructions that when executed by the computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising: determining the existence of a hidden track of the at least one audio file and removing if found.
