PREPARE · SCHEDULE · PRESENT

Built around
the way radio works.

Plan the programme, prepare your audio and stay in control when it’s time to go on air.

01 / LIBRARY

Get your music ready

Automatic analysis identifies cue-in, segue points, ending type, loudness, BPM and ramp/intro time. Sort your library, edit tags and add notes for show prep.

02 / SCHEDULING

Shape your station’s sound

Build music rotations with categories and rules, generate playlists and schedule events. Exact-time playback subtly adjusts tempo without changing pitch.

03 / PLAYOUT

Take the next segue

Three decks sequence automatically or support live assist. Reorder the running playlist, see scheduled airtimes and assign MIDI controls to key playback actions.

THE FINER DETAILS

Smart duplicate detection · CSV library and playlist exchange · Play logs · Timed metadata from .cue files

VOICE TRACKING

Make the show
your own.

Record and edit voice tracks visually, with automatic ducking to your chosen settings. Prepare links on your Mac or iPad.

LIVE STREAMS & FALLBACK

Keep the audio
moving.

Bring live feeds into the schedule with dual live stream players, send Now Playing metadata and record streams without re-encoding. A fallback playlist or rotation can cover a lost live feed until it returns.

MACOS & IPADOS

A familiar workflow.
A different screen.

Three-deck playout and MIDI controls on both platforms, with an interface that adapts to how you work.

Radio Conductor on iPad

Choose your audio route

Assign Mac decks to separate audio devices or share one output. Set devices for voice-track recording and off-air preview; choose iPad outputs through AirPlay.

Work comfortably

Adjust font sizes and choose light or dark appearance. On iPad, edit multiple programme playlists in separate windows and keep audio running in the background.

Put your controls to work

Map MIDI controls to deck start, stop, fade and level, plus playlist actions. On iPad, a MIDI controller can act as a virtual mixer.

MORE UNDER THE HOOD

The details matter.

Tools for the everyday work that keeps a station running.

Music library & analysis
  • Automatic cue-in, segue point, ending type, LUFS, BPM and ramp/intro detection.
  • Sort by library fields, edit ID tags non-destructively and attach notes to items.
  • Duplicate detection keeps the highest-quality copy, with on-demand removal and tagging of duplicates.
  • CSV import and export for libraries, playlists and categories.
  • Automatic hook generation for running hook sequences when in automation or live assist mode. Can be done individually or in batch mode. Hooks can be manually tweaked if needed. Only the start and end times are stored. Hooks play back seamlessly directly from the original files.
Playlists & presentation
  • Drag and drop to reorder live and programme playlists.
  • Drop tracks from Finder or the library, with duplicate checking and analysis when needed.
  • Copy and paste items between playlists and the current running playlist.
  • Cart Vader™ includes 24 individually MIDI controllable cart decks and unlimited saved sets of carts.
  • See airtimes, the next deck and a warning 18 seconds before a track ends with the indicator blinking for the last 9 seconds.
  • Reload items from the play log; export and optionally clear logs.
  • Import playlists between systems with a report of matched tracks.
  • Transfer entire programmes including all audio between systems with Radio Score™ and the .radioscore package.
Scheduling & continuity
  • Categories, default rules, rotations, generated playlists and scheduled events.
  • Depth setting for category rules.
  • Dedicated event options for live programmes.
  • Fallback Coverage can run a selected rotation during chosen hours when automation runs out of content and no live show is playing.
  • Exact-time playback makes grouped tempo adjustments without affecting pitch, respecting categories excluded from metadata.
Live streams & metadata
  • Send Now Playing metadata to multiple UDP destinations and Icecast.
  • Timed ID tags in mixed programmes with .cue files support.
  • Dual live stream players allow smooth transitions when there are back-to-back live shows from different sources.
  • Configure the live stream with a fallback rotation or playlist and that will auto-fill in the event audio from the live feed is lost until audio resumes.
  • Archive live feeds without re-encoding and generate a timed .cue file for encore broadcasts. Special categories for each live show are automatically created. Setup a rotation and use that category with the most recently added item rule and get fully automated scheduled encore broadcasts with full ID tags.
  • Recorded AAC-LC transport streams are remuxed to compatible .m4a files; live recordings appear in a dedicated library category.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

Good to know.

Which operating systems are required?

Radio Conductor currently requires macOS 27.0 or newer, or iPadOS 27.0 or newer. These requirements are separate from the REST studio tools app we recommend for all Rodecaster Pro, Pro II and Duo owners. Learn more about this awesome app at the following site:
The Radio Encore REST App Site.
REST

Do I need three separate audio devices?

No. On Mac, all three decks can share one audio device, or you can assign separate devices for your preferred studio setup.

Can I use remote voice tracking now?

Voice-track editing is available in the current app on Mac and iPad. Secure remote voice tracking and remote live operation are planned for version 2.0 in 2027. In the interim, you can build an entire voice-tracked show on Mac or iPad then export it to a Radio Score™ which can be sent to another system for perfect playback in Radio Conductor.

Can I run the app on both my Mac and my iPad?

Yes, your subscription covers your Mac and iPad devices running macOS 27.0, iPadOS 27.0 (or newer) signed in to the same Apple ID.
