I'm a software developer and broadcast engineer - Much of what I do revolves around software used in the broadcast industry.  This typically includes audio playout, database/library management, recording and editing.  I also undertake custom software commissions so if you have a problem that you think can be solved via a dedicated application - Please get in touch.

  • Radio Station Consultancy
    Advice on music library setup, scheduling/clocks, playout systems and how to get the best from your setup.  I have experience of Dalet, EncoDAD, Genesys, mAirList, Myriad, Natural Log+Music, Powergold, RCS Master Control and StationPlaylist.  I can also provide one-to-one or group tuition on Powergold.  Need to refresh your clocks?  Unsure how best to organize your music?  Perhaps you're a presenter wishing to expand your skills for a gig that requires scheduling experience...   I can also assist with Natural Log, Natural Music and StationPlaylist Creator/Studio

  • Engineering Assistance and Tune-ups
    Help with "how do we do xxx?" - advice on how to solve technical problems in a cost-effective way.  Aligning/fixing of equipment such as mixing desks, telephone hybrids, PC networking etc.

My most popular application is DAC Cartwall which is available via the Top of Hour Software website.  It's a hotkey program with many advanced features but is easy to use and priced at just £30 per licence.  For managing audio tags and your music library, MyLibrary is the ultimate tool for getting songs tagged and imported into your playout system.  A range of popular systems are supported and it costs just £25.  Manage your audio in 1 application and easily export to Dalet, EncoDAD, Genesys, Myriad, NexGen and more.
 

The Top of Hour Software site is now live - with a selection of the more "advanced" applications on offer there.  My site will continue to offer the smaller/more-basic utilities.  DAC Cartwall , EZCart , SoundFusion , StudioScreen and SureLog are all available as demo downloads (and to purchase) via this new site.
