The first spacebar tap turns the Record button from yellow the flashing between red and yellow and plays the last 8 to 15 seconds of the song or spot prior to the voice track. The spacebar places the EOM that starts the next event, displays a countdown of intro time to the vocal of the song and the announcer talks as desired. The next spacebar tap stops the recording and returns the Record button to yellow. The Voice Tracker screen shows complete titles, artists, intro times, lengths, tempos, years, CD titles and music trivia that has been entered in your music scheduler. Live copy, tags, liner cards, promo scripts, expanded trivia and PSAs also appear in a pop-up window at the appropriate times.
Jocks see large countdown times as each event ends and intro times as songs start.
Note that announcers can routinely start talking 8 to 15 seconds before the end of the song and hear themselves over the music. If they want to talk longer than that over the end of the song, they can do so with a simple timing adjustment before recording, or they can talk as long as they want and then bring their voice in earlier with the graphic controls in the Segue Editor of Voice Tracker. Hot Keys can be played to add unscheduled jingles, themes, sounders, sound effects or comedy during the voice track session. They are recorded with the announcer so what you hear when recording is what you get at air time, in spite of any changes in Hot Key settings. If station policy permits, announcers can add voice tracks anywhere in the log.
