Make Radio Shows The Easy Way

Keep your listeners informed during shows by talking in between tracks. Things like what’s just played or what’s coming up in the show. Recorded audio clips like this are known as voice tracking. It’s a handy tool to add show links on the go.

Essentially, it allows you to record and add audio between tracks in a playlist. Use it to cover news, special events, or to produce the illusion of a live presenter in your studio. Create the perfect playlist with links, mixes, and jingles to make radio shows like you're presenting live.

Using Voice Tracking at MCR Live

Manchester based radio station MCR Live often used voice tracking for show links and dropping special announcements in between music. For example, if a guest was about to appear on their show they updated listeners every few tracks.

Voice tracks can either be recorded in Media > Voice Tracking or directly in a playlist.

Click the mic icon to bring up the voice tracker and select the red button to start recording.

Once you are finished recording, drag your new voice track into your playlist. Build entire radio shows like this to sound live for when you're not around.
