Voice automation
AI when you want it. Real voices when you do not.
Use ElevenLabs to create dynamic spoken elements around the clock, put explicit limits around how much AI voice can be generated or aired, or keep the entire voice chain human and local. A station can mix all three approaches in the same day.
ElevenLabs integration
Generate voice elements for IDs, links, promos, intros and automated talk without pre-rendering every possible line.
Hourly AI budgets
Set a station-level allowance for generated voice per hour so automation has a clear ceiling instead of talking endlessly.
Position-level control
Choose where AI voice is allowed, which voice is used, what content it may generate and how it fits around music and vocal markers.
Recorded talent
Use professionally recorded liners, sweepers and DJ tracks from the local library with the same scheduling and overlay tools.
Live microphone + hardware
Bring a real microphone, mixer or audio interface into the studio workflow when a human takes over.
Hybrid by design
A generated intro can lead into recorded imaging, then hand off to a live mic later in the same Clock Format.

When the budget is exhausted, the station can fall back to prerecorded imaging, music-only transitions, or other rules you define instead of generating more speech.
Your voice is still the premium option.
Nothing forces the station to use AI. Record your own DJ tracks, import professional voice talent, or use local studio hardware for live breaks. MB Radio+DJ treats AI as another production source—not a replacement for the people who give a station its identity.
The complete feature set
The headline features are only the start.
24/7 broadcast engine
Run continuously without keeping the control UI open. The engine owns playout, timing and stream delivery.
Real radio scheduling
Clock Formats, Positions, Global Positions and layered schedule resolution for programming that behaves like radio.
Media Items, not file chaos
Group duplicate formats into one logical song while retaining source files, metadata, artwork and a preferred playback source.
Deep category rules
Hierarchies, inheritance, eligibility, exclusions, separation and shuffle bags give rotations structure without killing variety.
Waveform-aware automation
Cue points, fades, silence, vocal markers and transition timing let automation sound deliberate instead of shuffled.
Imaging, overlays & AI voice
Sweepers, liners, IDs, promos and beds can use recorded talent or ElevenLabs-generated voice, with station-defined AI usage budgets.
Public player & schedule
A responsive listener experience with artwork, live metadata, listener stats and a timezone-aware 24-hour schedule.
Track identification
Chromaprint, AcoustID and MusicBrainz workflows help identify files and enrich metadata with human review.
Live control room
Decks, queue, history, VU meters, mic controls and schedule context keep humans in control when automation is not enough.
