Radiologik DJ Manual

Radio Automation and Live Assist Player


Overview

1. Program [1 & 2] is a queue of songs that play in the 1st and 2nd players, automatically alternating between the two. You can drag re-order the tracks. Tracks play in order from top to bottom. The times calculated throughout the list take into account overlap timing and pitch shifting. You can select multiple tracks to move or delete using the shift or command (Apple) keys.

2. Spot [3] operates more like a cart machine where the selected audio file is the one cued. You can drag re-order the tracks to match the line numbers 1-9 and then use the 1-9 numeric keys to select them while on any tab.

3. Library is an internal database library which you can use to quickly find songs, preview them, and copy them to either the Program or Spot lists. You can select multiple tracks delete or program using the shift or command (Apple) keys. For Mac OS X 10.4 and up the Search field is a live search and probably faster than iTunes' search.

All 3 lists are maintained between quitting and launching Radiologik DJ.

Radiologik DJ will update play count and last played date in iTunes of played tracks if in the Log is checked in the Preferences for the audio output you use when playing the tracks. This makes smart playlists useful for later selecting tracks based on how recently played, etc. in iTunes Smart Playlists.

The Palette

The Palette is on the tab just right of the Library tab. It allows a bit more free form playing of short sounds such as sound effects, jingles, zingers or any short audio. Drag any audio file from the Finder or from iTunes over a button to load it to that button. There are 9 sets and 20 buttons per set. You can rename the sets by clicking on the name of the set after selecting it.



Pressing the button once plays it. The button will darken and then lighten from left to right to show the progress. You can also stop the file by pressing the button again and it will lighten from top to bottom at the rate of the fade set by the fade and finish slider.

Buttons support Finder label colors and these labels can be changed with a contextual menu (right click). Buttons can be triggered by number keys or they can be set to use a MIDI surface (right click to assign). There is a master volume slider at the bottom.

Track Prep in Radiologik Scheduler (ideal)
Use the Track Prep feature of Radiologik Scheduler to prep all the tracks you select in iTunes for a very professional radio segue sound for most songs and other tracks. This feature is included as part of the free features of Radiologik Scheduler Basic. For more on this, see the documentation on Scheduler in its help menu or on the web here.


Edit the actual audio files (alternative)

1. Use your favorite audio editor. (I like Amadeus and Fission)
2. Normalize. You can also use iVolume to set the loudness levels which might be easier than doing normalization of all of your tracks. See below.
3. Remove any silence from the beginning
4. Cold endings should leave silence nearly equal to the overlap time. I would use 1.5 seconds of silence for 1.8 overlap.
5. Slow fade songs should have the fades accelerated by removing a portion of the ending and fading more quickly from a given point. I like about 3-4 seconds of linear fade from a point where the song has already begun to fade.

Playback and scrubbing
If this Mac is on the air, you can have the track properties player playback to an off-air output if you have the audio hardware to do that. If you drag the mouse across the timeline waveform, you will hear the audio scrubbed. If you hold the mouse in one place for a second, it will change to a finer scrubbing.

Set the Ramp
The Ramp is the time in the beginning of the track when an announcer can speak. For live DJ'ing it is an aid which is displayed as a countdown timer. For automation, the scheduler uses this time to aid it in determining how to fit automatic voice tracking. You can set the Ramp by pressing the Ramp button on any player.

Set the Logo
Logos are times when the palette player will be used while this track is playing. This is useful particularly for longer tracks where you need to brand the audio with your ID or moniker during the track. The palette player rotates through all its items for this track and other tracks that specify this palette. Usually you'll want Duck checked on the palette so that it ducks the main track while it plays the palette item. Each track can specify one of the nine palettes to use using the popup menu on the far right of the track properties window.

Endnote & BPM
The Endnote field can be used to store 4 characters which will then be displayed in the upper portion of the player. The Endnote is the clue to the DJ as to how the track will end. You pick what you like such as "COLD" for a cold ending or FADE for a song that fades down for the end. Here the endnote "COLD" is shown as it is displayed at the bottom left of a player. BPM is also read from the tags of the audio files and displayed here.

With Auto OFF, Radiologik is made sure to be the front application at the 20 second from finish mark of a file. It changes the time box file position to yellow at 20 seconds



At 15 seconds from finish it changes the file position indicator of the file to blinking red and then solid red at 5 seconds from finish.



You can adjust the current time position of any audio file by dragging or clicking in the time box of any player. The position is changed when you let go of the mouse button.

The first Button "Cue" resets the player to the beginning of the track and cues it. The Second button plays or pauses the player. The third button "Fade" operates as a fade and finish. In Auto, the next track will start at the overlap time determined in the Preferences. The last button "Ramp" sets the time the announcer can talk into a track and is set to the current track position and recorded in the audio file.



Each player has output toggle buttons to determine which sound output to use for the player. The button audio outputs and names can be set in the preferences. This way you can direct each output to a particular mixer channel on a mixer board and control the fades directly there if you want. Use the Audio I/O tab in the preferences to setup your audio outputs. You can pick the different channel pairs from multiple channel devices on devices such as the M-Audio Firewire 410, the MOTU Ultralight, or most any USB or Firewire multichannel audio interface. You can set up to 4 discrete output pairs, 3 which are switchable on the main window for the 3 main players and palette player and one dedicated to off air for the library player and track properties window playback.



Volume can be adjusted manually a few ways. Although you can obviously move the volume slider, you can also use the mouse wheel when over any player. Mousing over any player and using the mouse wheel adjusts the volume for all players if for instance you want to duck all audio to speak. You can also adjust the volume per player by clicking anywhere in the colored portion of the player (green, blue, red). The player will get a blue highlight around it to indicate you are controlling the volume for that player alone with the mouse wheel. Click on the player again to remove the highlight.



You can also control volume, pitch, and all of the Functions in the Function menu using a MIDI controller. For instance, the Behringer BCF2000 has motorized sliding faders and works very well. Radiologik works with MIDI controllers in both directions.

Single key shortcuts can be viewed from the Keyboard Reference window and can be set in the preferences.



In addition, all of these shortcuts are also available from the Functions menu. You can use the Keyboard item in System Preferences to set key shortcuts for any of these menus such as the F5 key to start program.

When pressing the key to program a track from the Library or Spot list, hold down the Shift Key to place it at the top of the queue.

Holding down the control key while starting a player will temporarily reverse the fade finish other player option in the preferences.

Auto plays the next song in queue overlapping by the amount specified in the preferences. By default this is 2.2 seconds. You need to prep your audio to work with the overlaps for auto to sound best. In manual you start each song yourself. With both Auto ON or OFF, you can fire the next song yourself when you want. There is an option in the Preferences to fade the previous song when starting a song which works in both modes.



Auto ON resets volume and pitch for each player when a new file is loaded.
Auto OFF leaves player volume and pitch alone for each player as set
You can make it so pitch is not reset by changing the Advanced preference ResetPitchWhenAuto to false

• Auto ON, cued songs are blue
• Auto OFF, cued songs are red

With Auto Off you can still set certain tracks to be auto. In the Actions column, click the small circle. The arrow indicates this track is linked to the previous track and will play automatically as if auto were on.

Voiceovers allow you to introduce a track such as by using a voice track over the beginning of a song. The scheduler will make use of this for voice tracking a fully-automated station.

In the program list there is a checkbox in the very right corner named VO. Just to the right of that is the player indicator which shows which player this track will be played in.



When this box is checked, the track is loaded into player 3 alongside the next track in the program.

1. If the ramp is 0, then there's no overlap.
2. If the ramp is less time than the intro, then the intro starts first and overlaps only as much as the ramp so you get a perfect finish of the intro at the end of the ramp at the post.
3. If the ramp is longer than the intro, then the intro and the song start at the same time and intro ends and the song fades up before the end of the ramp (the post).

Manually Ducking
You can duck the 3 main players by using the Duck button or the shortcut key for it which is by default the 'M' key. Pressing it again turns off the duck. This ducking does not duck the library player, the track properties player, or any of the palette players.

Line In simply take an audio device input and routes it to an audio device output. Use the Audio pane of the preferences to set which devices are used. There is also the option on the General pane of the preferences to use a fade when switching Line In on and off.



Line In can be turned on using the button or keyboard shortcut (L is default) or by a MIDI control surface. It can also be turned on using a Track Action. That Track Action can be assigned to a specific interrupt time by DJ or set by Scheduler.

Use Finder Color Labels on your files and Radiologik will use that color for those items in your Program Queue and Spot list.

Track actions are only for items in the program queue. Double-click the track in the program list or select it and click the Actions button. Radiologik Scheduler makes use of all of these actions.

You can use actions to set the schedule interrupt time for a track in the program. The track will play at the specified time regardless of everything else. If nothing is playing, it will start the track and if in Auto, it will continue to play subsequent tracks. If something is already playing in queue, it will fade that track and start playing the track with the interrupt time. If the program queue runs out before the interrupt time, the track will not be played until the scheduled time.



You can also set the Station ID flag to tell the Station ID button that the station has ID'd for the hour when this track is played.

The Line in can be turned on and off as a track action

Each program track can be set to change the preference set. The actual preference set is not changed until that track begins playing and is applied to it and all following tracks without affecting preceding tracks such as a fading track that might still be playing.

And each program track can also be set to run an AppleScript from the ~/Music/Radiologik/Scripts/ folder.

The third player is automatically assigned a track when Auto is ON and the combined overlaps won't get us to play the next track in time. In other words, it is done when a track is shorter than the 2 overlaps and a 3rd player is needed to play a triple-segue. An extra 1 second safety is given in the decision to use the 3rd player to account for cue loading times to make sure tracks are played at the right time.



In this case players 2 and 3 are cued and you'll see the player assignment something like this:

Automatically check for updates checks for new versions of Radiologik DJ no more than once a day.




Audio I/O
Here you can set the devices and names for the audio outputs that are selectable above each player as well as choose a Library player output.

Log and Publish can be toggled per output. Log will log to the Log tab and to

    ~/Library/Logs/Radiologik/Play Logs/.

In order to register the songs played with iTunes, you'll need Log on for that output.

Publish needs to be on for the track to show in the top of the Radiologik window and to be published to all the publishing outlets on the Publishing pane in the preferences.

The next three tabs allow you to set keyboard shortcuts, MIDI controllers, and interface appearance.


Publishing

You can publish to iChat/Messages, Growl, Web, Twitter, Last.fm, TuneIn, and RDS. What is published shows in the top of the Radiologik DJ window.



When nothing is playing you can set that text to be your station name and you can have it be different for different programs by setting different text for different preference sets.

RDS is designed to work with RDS encoders that support either serial or TCP connections such as those from Audemat but it should work with most RDS hardware. You will need to consult the RDS manual for the correct syntax for commands.

If you have artists, titles, genres or tracks marked with keywords in the comments that you don't want published such as internal production audio, you can add them to Exclude list on the Publishing Exceptions window found in the Window menu. If you would like to exclude all but those that match the keywords in a list, then leave the Exclude list blank and add the list of the only keywords you want to match for inclusion on the Include tab list. If you use both Exclude and Include and both are matched, then include wins and the track metadata is published.



The program queue shows published tracks in bold for the Artist - Title.

The TOTH area is Top of the Hour and displays time in relation to the top of the hour.

Nicecast
Rogue Amoeba's Nicecast allows you to broadcast your station to the internet via streaming mp3.



Nicecast will capture the audio from Radiologik. To use the microphone, try Nicecast's voiceover plugin.

If you have the source for Nicecast set to Radiologik then it is okay to have Preferences-->Advanced-->NicecastTrackTitleOverride can be on or off. If off it writes to ~/Documents/Radiologik/NowPlaying.txt

If you have another source such as a device, you need Preferences-->Advanced-->NicecastTrackTitleOverride on.

With NicecastTrackTitlesOverride, Radiologik DJ updates the file:
~/Library/Application Support/Nicecast/NowPlaying.txt
You should check that this file is there and see if it has the correct metadata in it. If on 10.7 or higher, you can get into that Library folder by holding the option key while selecting "Library" from the Go menu in the Finder.

You should see the titles published in the top of Radiologik DJ. If not, make sure Publish is on for the output you are using in Preferences-->Audio I/O. Also make sure any Publishing Exceptions are not preventing the titles from being published in Window menu-->Publishing Exceptions.

Rogue Amoeba also sells Audio Hijack Pro which you can use to live record a show you do in Radiologik to later publish as a podcast. Both Audio HiJack Pro and Nicecast allow you to apply audio effects and processing to audio playing in Radiologik DJ.

LadioCast
LadioCast can encode ogg-vorbis, AAC, and AAC-HE (AAC+) and stream to an icecast server but it doesn't contain it's own icecast server like Nicecast. So you either need an icecast provider or you need to download the source for icecast and install it yourself. It does allow you to stream AAC-HE which can provide the same quality as mp3 streaming at half the bit-rate. LadioCast is free.

Install Soundflower (free) and have DJ send out on Soundflower 2ch. Then use Soundflower 2ch as the audio device for DJ's output and for LadioCast's input. You can even use Nicecast simultaneously by using Soundflower 2ch as the input audio device.

To get metadata to LadioCast use the ~/Music/Radiologik/Scripts/DJEvent-NowPlayingChanged file with this as the script:

set metafile to (open for access ("/Users/[usernamehere]/Music/Radiologik/Web/LadioCast"))
  tell application "LadioCast" to set metadata song to (read metafile for (get eof metafile))
close access metafile

<artist> - <title>

<artist> - <title>

 or whatever metadata replacement tags or literal text you want to that text file and save. Then point BUTT to the file ~/Music/Radiologik/Web/BUTT

Soundflower

To get audio from DJ to another applications such as Ladiocast, BUTT, or Nicecast, install Soundflower (free) and have DJ send out on Soundflower 2ch. Then use Soundflower 2ch as the audio device for DJ's on-air output and as the source audio for that application that is capturing the audio BUTT and Ladiocast don't play the audio they capture through Soundflower so you need to use Soundflowerbed to route a copy of the audio to a real output. Soundflowerbed is installed with Soundflower and when launched will be a system-wide menu where you can select a real output for your audio:

1. Run Radiologik DJ's audio output to the mixer
2. Connect your mic(s) to the mixer
3. Run an output of the mixer back into an audio input on the Mac
4. Set Nicecast, Ladiocast or BUTT to use audio input of the Mac as source
5. Now you can control your audio levels for player and mic with the mixer
   

1. Install Soundflower (http://cycling74.com/soundflower-landing-page/)
2. Run Radiologik DJ's audio output to Soundflower 2ch
3. Set Line In to your Mic's audio input
4. Set Line Out to Soundflower 2ch
5. Set Nicecast, Ladiocast or BUTT to use audio input Soundflower 2ch
6. You can use the Line In button in DJ to turn your Mic on and off

 do shell script "cd ~/Music/Radiologik/Web/ ; curl -T currentlyplaying-1.html ftp://yourserver.com/ --user username:password"

1. In Preferences-->Audio I/O, ensure Log is checked for the output you use for broadcasting.
2. In Preferences-->Audio I/O, ensure Register played tracks with iTunes when logging the player output is checked.
3. Make sure the Artist, Title, and Album that Radiologik DJ shows in the queue is the same as in iTunes.
   

• Remember to set login items for both Macs according to their new roles
• iTunes should not be launched on the DJ Mac. Remove it from this Mac and remove it's icon from the Dock. DJ users have access to iTunes tracks through DJ's iTunes playlists and the Library tab and are protected from doing any harm to the iTunes Library on the Scheduler Mac.
• Audio files that are outside of iTunes such as traffic flight audio files need to be local to the Scheduler Mac and in a directory that the DJ Mac can access. Making a folder in the Music folder to store these works well.
