No, that would help? I didn't thought of that, I'll test it to see how it
goes.

I am using only one Liquidsoap script yes. The input is an input.harbor
where live DJs connect and after the switch is done. I'm saving the
recording with output.file. The script is loaded with other things too,
which I believe are slowing it down (sending the current song to a php file
that puts it in a database, sends a notice to twitter, etc.), so i'm trying
to make it do less and less.

How could I connect two liquidsoap scripts? Like how can I make the second
script only trigger when the song changes for example? Wouldn't that leave
me in the same position as in having one liquidsoap script?
