Wall-Clock Anchored Recording
Audio is pinned to the time of day, not the order it arrived. A short network stall fills in with silence so the timeline never slides out of sync with the markers.
Swim-Lane Timeline
Six lanes — Hours, Breaks, Voicetracks, Live mic, EAS, Notes — keep every kind of event visually separate. One look tells you what kind of moment you're looking at.
AutoCast Integration
Audio over one network channel, markers over another. DayTracker auto-discovers AutoCast through shared settings; no IP addresses to type. Safe alongside live broadcast — DayTracker only listens.
PartyLine Silence Markers
When AutoCast detects dead air, DayTracker writes a silence marker into the Notes lane automatically. Drawn in bright orange so it jumps off the timeline. Clusters of orange = something to investigate.
Click-to-Seek & Hover Hints
Click anywhere on the timeline to jump there. Hover any marker and its full label — song title, voicetrack name, break number, your own note — appears in the status bar. No menus, no clutter.
Selections & Manual Airchecks
Press [ to start a selection at the playhead, ] to commit. Mark as many as you need across the day, then press E to export every selection as a separate MP3 aircheck.
Scheduled Aircheck Cards
One card per recurring show. Pick the days, the start and end hour, and whether to capture Live DJ or Voicetrack segments. DayTracker checks every 30 seconds and exports automatically when each window closes.
Five Quality Levels
From "Crummy" (8 kbps, voice only, tiny files) to "Crazy Good" (96 kbps, near broadcast quality). All at 22050 Hz mono. The default "Good" setting fits a year of logs comfortably on a 100 GB drive.
Daily Rollover
At midnight, DayTracker rolls to a fresh file for the new day and keeps recording. Yesterday's archive stays right where it was — complete, untouched, and ready to scrub.
Open Daily Files
Each day produces four files in ~/Documents/DayTracker/: the MP3, the markers CSV, a manifest, and pre-computed waveform peaks. Plain formats, no proprietary lockup. Copy a day to an archive disk and it stays loadable forever.
Live VU Meters
Stereo VU pair on the right edge of the timeline while viewing today. See in real time exactly what's being received and recorded.
Context Help Everywhere
Pass your mouse over any control and a plain-English description appears in the status bar at the bottom of the window. No guessing what a button does — just hover and read.
