VoiceTracker lets you record professional voicetracks for your radio station from anywhere — all you need is a microphone and a web browser. It connects to your station's automation system through Dropbox, so your voicetracks land right where AutoCast needs them.
No studio required. Nothing to install on your own computer. Just log in through your web browser, pick a voicetrack slot, talk, and save.
Your station's program director uses ClockWork to build format clocks that include voicetrack slots. When ClockWork generates the daily logs, it also creates audio bundles — small packages containing the tail of the outgoing song, the intro of the incoming song, and metadata about the transition. These bundles are saved in a VoiceTracker folder on the station's computer.
When you open VoiceTracker through the TuneTracker Go! shell, it reads the logs and bundles through the TuneTracker Go! helper running on your station Mac — nothing is copied to your own computer. You see the program log, pick a voicetrack slot, hear the songs, record your voice, and save. The finished voicetrack is saved at the station, where AutoCast picks it up at air time.
VoiceTracker encodes transition timing directly into the voicetrack filename. AutoCast reads these values to know exactly when to fade the outgoing song, when to start the incoming song, and how your voice overlaps with each. No manual timing adjustments needed.
