Automation & Playout software is a core component of a radio station’s operations. Most stations these days, even when running with a live announcer, will use an automation system to assist the announcer in playing and recording audio.

Here are some of the more popular radio automation and playout software packages available today. They vary wildly in price and features and it particularly hard to compare some as they are geared towards different segments of the market. If you are selecting software for your radio station, ensure you put together a comprehensive list of functionality you require and also arrange demos for the key stakeholders (make sure you include content people, as well as technical).

This list of features isn’t comprehensive, as I don’t have first hand experience with all of these systems. If you notice something I’m missing, please add it to the comments below.

RCS Zetta

Zetta is the big new software package from RCS. It does almost everything under the sun, and has a price tag to match. Key bullet point features:

• Full automation, live assist and manual modes
• Multiple stations in one system
• Microsoft SQL Database
• Distributed system. Each workstation can act as a remote control for the real machines doing the actual audio playout.
• Time stretching/squeezing to help hit time markers
• Built in recorders (automated and manual)
• Great support for networked programming (File & log sharing over WAN, remote voice tracking, “split” stations for local spot breaks)
• Auto segue features, with full manual control too
• Close integration with their other products, such as GSelector and Aquira
• Price: If you have to ask, you probably can’t afford it.
  P.S. If you are clever with Google, there is a RCS purchase order you can find on one of those PDF sharing websites. The unit-price isn’t too far from what you might expect to pay these days.

Note: NexGen and Master Control are older software packages from RCS (used by the majority of Australian Commercial Radio Stations, I dare say), but they don’t really recommend installing these pieces of software for a new install as they are quiet old. Zetta is what they are pushing.

WideOrbit Radio Automation

Formerly Google Radio Automation, Scott’s Studios & SS32. WideOrbit have traditionally build traffic software for radio & TV, and WideOrbit Automation for Radio is their adventure into the world of radio playout and automation software. There are four major components to the system:

• Workstation (what you see above)
• Web Interface
• Playlist Editor Application
• Adobe Audition Plugin

The Workstation is a touchscreen-based user interface. You can load as many widgets into as many places as you like. Widgets include:

• Stack player (main station player)
• Playlist editor
• Library
• Voice tracker
• Audio asset editor
• MusicMaster widget
• It’s also possible to build your own plugins and run them as widgets

The Web interface is how you configure the system, but also a great way access the audio library outside of the studio. You can search through the library, update details, and also launch the audio file in the application of your choice. When you install the Adobe Audition Plugin you have a nice and easy way of editing audio outside of the system and sending it back in without loosing metadata.

The Playlist Editor is a standalone application which allows you to edit playlists. It’s fairly limited, but when combined with the web interface would work well in an out-of-studio environment such as the programme director’s office.

There is also a “Friendship Server” which allows you to connect remote systems and share content. Files and logs can be pushed backwards and forwards, to allow for sharing of resources. There are a lot of configurable rules to enable easy sharing while still maintaining control over your libraries.

Add to the list a Remote VoiceTracking server. Talent can be emailed when logs are ready to voicetrack. They can then login to their local Windows App, record the tracks, and send them back easily. If the logs change after this for some reason, they can be emailed again to request they re-voicetrack specific sections.

Overall, WideOrbit is a nice system and well suited to a wide range of applications. It’s also a lot cheaper than some of it’s larger competitors. Because it has the Web interface and Playlist Editor (which are free) you can save a lot of money by not buying everyone a Workstation license.

• Multiple stations in one system
• Distributed system. Each workstation can act as a remote control for the real machines doing the actual audio playout.
• Time stretching/squeezing to help hit time markers, using ASI audio cards
• Built in voice tracking recorder

Dalet Radio Suite

I’ve used older Dalet 5.1 systems before, but don’t have experience with their newer Dalet Radio Suite. One thing I can say about Dalet is that they are really into the whole Media Asset Management and Program Associated Data thing. While other systems don’t focus much on the actual storage of media and it’s metadata, Dalet puts a big emphasis on it.

Key features:

• Full automation and live assist modes
• Multiple stations in one system
• SQL Database
• Built in newsroom functionality
• Built in multi-track audio editor

Other Systems:

Here are some other notable systems.

• RCS NexGen
• RCS Master Control
• ENCO DAD
• iMediaTouch
• Jutel RadioMan
• Rivendell
• Sourcefabric Airtime
• Netia

4 types of Inputs. More options, more power.

(STANDARD WITH ALL MODELS, unless otherwise noted)

2 Mic Channel - Two mic channels are included on the ARC-8 to support a Host and Guest talk show in the main control room itself. The channel Two mic can also be remoted to a separate announce booth if desired.

Stereo Line level Channel - Channels 3-7 are stereo, line level input channels appropriate for source devices like CD players, MP3 players, network feeds, etc. Channel 3 has an A/B input select switch where either an unbalanced stereo input or a balanced stereo input may be selected. Channel 4-7 have both an unbalanced -10dBu consumer level input on RCA connectors and a balanced +4dBu level input on an RJ45 connector. A source can be connected to either set of input connectors (not both). The unbalanced inputs are ideal for studios where the sources are located locally in the studio itself. The balanced inputs should be selected if some of these sources (such as a satellite feed) are originated in other studios where the wiring could be long and introduce hum & noise.

PC-USB input Channel - The ARC-8 contains a built-in, Windows compatible, USB sound card on Channel 8B USB connection to a PC. Most Windows compatible audio software can play and record from the console.

Telephone Channel - Channel seven has both an unbalanced -10dBu consumer level input on RCA connectors and a balanced +4dBu level input on an RJ45 connector. A source can be connected to either set of input connectors. Any type of analog source can be used, but if a telephone hybrid is connected as the source to channel 7, then a special mix-minus bus output is provided to feed the external telephone hybrid. The mix-minus bus output to the hybid includes every channel on the Program bus EXCEPT for channel 7 so that there is no feedback to the caller. The mix minus output is a +4dBu balanced signal for connection to professional hybrids.

For off-line (not on air) communication with the caller, a 'Talk' button on channel one is provided. Push the 'Talk' button and the channel one mic will be fed to the caller and the callers audio will be fed to the Cue system. To place the caller on air, just push the red channel on button at the bottom of channel 7.

The telephone system in the ARC-8 does not include hybrid control logic so the telephone system is controlled from the front panel of the hybrid.

Phone line system. Connect your phone hybrid for a powerful phone system.

Phone Channel - channel 7 is a dedicated telephone channel that easily connects to an external telephone hybrid.

Talkback Cue System - the caller can talk to you through the Cue system while a Talkback button enables the Control Room mic to talk off-line to the caller.
