Features

• Live-Assist and Automated Playout
  Music, jingles and commercials can be played with switching between live-assist and automation with a single click.

• Hotkeys for Instant Audio
  Play drops, sound fx and other non-scheduled audio instantly using either of the 2 Hotkey modules - each module offers multiple pages of buttons (like DAC Cartwall) and each presenter can have their favourite sets ready to use upon login.

• Powerful Database/Library and Search System   [additional purchase option]
  Using standard filenames, JockMaster offers an easy-to-use Library screen showing ItemTypes and Categories/Genres for easy track selection and sorting.  Columns can be sized (or hidden) to suit and the window size and position can be set in any way you like.  Show only the information you need and sort by clicking the column headers.

• Cart Number Storage System   [additional purchase option]
  This adds onto the Library module and allows imported files to be converted to standard 00001.wav Cart Number filenames.  This is designed for those who use a professional scheduling system or wish to define explicit cuts via a simple naming structure.

• Interchangeable GUI Skin
  Using MSStyles, you can customize JockMaster's GUI by choosing from many freely available skins.

• Data File Support - for non-database users or for backup
  Using JMD files, each audio item's properties can be saved/recalled: Intro, Segue, Year, Tempo etc.  These can also be prepared in MyLibrary or Meridan.

• VoiceTracker   [additional purchase option]
  Not just a voicetrack recorder, but enhanced segue editing and sweeper placement with level-ducking.  Recording voicetracks into your playlist is both quick and simple.  Add dry/sweeper production elements between songs and duck each song's volume on a "per segue" basis.  Voicetracks can be top/tailed to avoid the quiet bits and ensure a "slick" sound to your automated output.

• Advanced Now Playing Output   [additional purchase option]
  Whilst the basic licence outputs a text file showing the artist and title of each track - this additional module allows you to be a bit more picky about what's sent and you can even define templates to create a webpage of recent tracks (excluding boring details like adverts/jingles).  When playing a PACKAGE item (such as a pre-recorded show), you can time-stamp each song played which allows JockMaster to output that track's details at the time it is played.  When recording your show using JockMaster, this is done automatically.

• Remote-start via game-port and/or USB
  Wire your mixer to control playback functions from the joystick port.  Also supports the Velleman K8055 USB module which allows 4 modules to be installed per PC, giving you up to 20 input buttons to control JockMaster and 32 outputs to control external equipment such as audio routers/switchers etc.

• USB Hardware I/O via DigiBee+   [additional purchase option]
  Permits control of external switching equipment (such as satellite feeds, studios etc).  Also allows JockMaster to be controlled (Start, Stop, Next etc).  Using the DigiBee USB board, up to 16 inputs and 16 outputs may be defined.

• Simple 24/7 Automation from just 1 Sound Device
  Load hourly or daily playlists which can be played non-stop - audio mixing can be handled internally allowing you to have voicetracked automation (with song ducking) using just a single soundcard.

• Information How You Want It
  The LiveAssist, Advert, Jingle and Database modules can show you a variety of properties for each item: Artist, Title, Intro, Length, Endtype, Chain (to next item), Year, Cart# etc and these can be adjusted so you only need see the properties you really want.  The LiveAssist playlist shows each item's Endtype and Chain status as icons.  Most fonts can be set to whatever you want: Arial, MS Sans Serif, Tahoma, Verdana etc.  Item colours can also be defined either globally or "per item".
  
  Hour Markers permit simple backtiming (during both automated and live-assisted programming) - you will be able to see when each item is due to play as well as see how long each hour is.  This gives you an easy way to see how much time you have to fill or free-up.

• Drop Songs from Portable Storages
  Specialist DJs often bring their own music - subject to user account settings, songs can be drag 'n' dropped from Windows' Explorer into the JockMaster playlist view and played-out in the usual way.  Automatic audio cue-in/out ensures hassle-free overlaps.

• Playlist Segue Editor   [screenshot]
  Adjust overlapping items with precision - create unique segues for your show.

• M3U Playlist Support
  Industry-standard M3U playlists can be loaded/saved and created from any application that supports this format.

• CSV/Tabbed Playlist Load/Save   [additional purchase option]
  Import a CSV/tabbed file from most popular scheduling packages such as: Music1, Natural Music, Powergold and StationPlaylist Creator.
