Nice setup, I was looking to see if you have an online stream for RadioBrian? I found your FB page but didn't see a link to one.

Nah I don't stream myself, however, there used to be a FM DX Server in the middle to town that you could tune into but it's off line now for some reason  :-[

One of these... https://servers.fmdx.org/

Seven possible voice tracking variants of the ''Overlay Bank''.
Example...
Using the same Song 1 and seven different ones for Song 2.
The 'Cue Tone' and 'Vocals Start' (Intro) signals come in from the main Left / Right Players.

*Settings Note* ... ''Delay Play'' = ON
Ducking... Attack: 0.4s - Release: 0.4s
Minimum Outro -to- Intro Time: 1.5s
Including Ducking Attack & Release
The ducking -db is added to the -db of the playing songs (Players top right hand corner)

Voice tracking files are selected fully automatically.

This is my TTS program for generating the Voice-Tracking files.

I own ''Radio Brian'' in Gran Canaria, Spain.
The Playout System I use is called Auto-Jock, I wrote it myself in Microsoft VB6,
it's the main program on the left, the ones on the right are Broadcast Breakaway
and PPM meters from https://darkwooddesigns.co.uk/

Radio Brian's Studio

Well over 32,000 music files in the system.
However, he can only use 6,733 of them, chosen by myself.
The system automatically makes continuous random playlists.
Restrictions are currently set at...
No Repeat Track within 18 days.
No Repeat Title in playlist within +/- 80 tracks.
No Repeat Artiste in playlist within +/- 40 tracks.

Voice Tracking in Auto-Jock is called 'Overlays'
Audio files are made using Speech Synthesizers
Number of 'Overlays' in the bank @ Nov 2020
Artiste general Intros = 15,254
Individual song Intros = 21,200
Tracks Year Intro's = 2,865
Individual song Outros = 6,944
General Intros / Outros = 18,966
Categories: Idents, Xmas, Chuck Norris, Spanish,
Facts, 18+, Lyrics etc, plus plenty of humorous ones.
Selection is fully automatic controlled by the Overlay Bank
which also provides playing track(s) Volume Ducking.

There are now in 2025 1000's more Overlays in the system.
