RADUGA RADIO AUTOMATION SOFTWARE

Contact: Christian Burnat

E-mail: info@burnat.com

Raduga is a cost effective and reliable Radio Presentation and Automation Software which allows the replay of audio tracks, jingles and promos in a broadcasting environment. Raduga can be used as a continuous free standing automation system, complete with songs, IDs, promos, even a satellite feed on schedule - in example Comradsat, the Australian Community Satellite Service provided by the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia. Raduga can also be used for the replay of selected tracks whilst on air; these can be stored on a server or on a local machine. Goodbye tape loops, CD stackers, carts, and minidisks!

You create playlists simply by dragging a variety of audio files from the Windows Explorer into the Raduga Window. You can drop IDs and promos on the fly. You can rearrange tracks by dragging them with the mouse from one position to another. You can select and set fade and overlap between tracks. All it takes is to drag a few tracks into the playlist, open the Raduga fader on your console, and press the play button. You are on air. That's it.
