Completed music logs head to PlayoutONE, the HSRP’s automation software, where voice-tracked breaks are added and ultimately played on air.

PlayoutONE and WebVT

Industry-standard software to get the ideas from inside your head, to out and over-the air. Get an intro to PlayoutONE and it’s web-based voicetracking software WebVT:

PlayoutONE is radio automation software allowing radio stations both terrestrial and virtual to broadcast 24/7 without a live person in the studio. Stations are able to see all scheduled music, advertisements, jingles, and sweepers and insert their recorded voice easily and reliably to produce a seemless on-air product.

In these HSRP tutorial videos, you’ll learn how to use PlayoutONE to manipulate the music logs, add music, PSAs, news, and voicetrack your on-air breaks.

HSRP Web VT Tutorials

Learn the basics of voice tracking a HSRP break in PlayoutONE’s WebVT.

Learn how to add, move, or delete audio from the HSRP log.

Learn how to use WebVT’s “triple stack” to give a professional sound to your news headlines.

Uploading news - Option 2

While the “Triple Stack” video above is the easiest way to get a newscast onto the HSRP, it does require voice-tracking every news update in every hour you want it to air. Some schools may opt to record one or two news updates and replay them throughout a day or week. Here’s how we do that:

  1. Record news update in Audacity (optional:  load news open, music bed, news close in Audacity and edit within news update).

  2. Save news update.

  3. On Audio Storage site, drag your newly recorded news update into the NWS - News Updates folder. It will automatically be loaded into MusicMaster and PlayoutONE.

  4. In WebVT, click calendar icon and select the day/hour you wish to insert news.

  5. In Media finder search for “NWS.”

  6. Drag newly recorded news update to the voicetrack spot for news updates.

  7. Delete any old newscasts.

  8. Repeat process for any other hours you want news to run.

 *if no news is scheduled, you would skip step 8 and just drag news update to white NEWS VT spot.

In depth

While PlayoutONE offers a robust automation system within the HSRP’s “virtual station,” students will primarily access the software through browser-based WebVT (VT standing for “voice tracking”).
