Free radio automation for Windows
Your studio.
Your control.
RadioMaster runs your station from one screen: playlists with live start times, hour markers that keep you on the clock, smart crossfades, Icecast and Shoutcast streaming, and full AzuraCast station management.

What's on the desk
Everything a live studio needs
Built for stations that run around the clock and for presenters who jump in live.
As many as you need
Playlist tabs side by side. The one marked ▶ is on air; play any row of another tab and it goes to air. Every row shows its projected start time.
Hour markers
Wait for the top of the hour, finish the song and jump, or cut in exactly on time. The clock counts down to the next marker.
Smart fading
Each track is analysed: silence is trimmed, cold endings get a tight mix, fade-outs overlap. Fine-tune any song in the waveform track editor.
Fill every screen
One, two or three panels in the main window, plus as many Additional windows as you like for a second or third monitor.
Icecast and Shoutcast
Several encoders at once with automatic reconnect and track titles, plus multiple sound-card outputs for FM and monitors.
Built for live shows
Cart wall for jingles, microphone with music ducking, recorded voice tracks, a notepad for scripts, and a log of everything that played.
Running order
More than songs in a list
The Playlist menu adds rows that do things. Put them anywhere in the running order and RadioMaster handles them when they come up.
