Radiologik DJ for Mac

Product summary

Radiologik DJ is a professional-grade DJ application built for radio broadcasters. It provides a studio-like environment with precise timing, multiple playback channels and tight integration with iTunes. The app is aimed primarily at experienced radio DJs and production professionals rather than complete beginners.

Key functionality

• Three primary players plus a separate library player, each with its own configurable audio output and individual timing information.
• Two of the program players include a dedicated voice‑over channel and a library-driven program channel, allowing live-style overlaps and manual mixing.
• Customizable track start/stop fades and direct iTunes searching from within the Radiologik DJ interface.
• Fast, automatic importing of iTunes tracks, rapid searches, and drag‑and‑drop support from iTunes and Finder into the players.
• Detailed automatic track duration calculations to help maintain tight show timing.

Strengths and limitations

• Strengths: Excellent iTunes integration, professional scheduling features, precise time calculations and robust controls that suit broadcast environments.
• Limitations: Steeper learning curve for newcomers; despite the iTunes tie‑ins, the interface and workflow assume some radio experience and can take time to master.

Recent enhancements and workflow improvements

• Palette players will now cascade into following players when you drop multiple files from iTunes or the Finder.
• Spot list now supports multiple selections, and those selections can be modified even when the third player is already engaged by the program queue.
• New AppleScript hooks include MuteMain3 for toggling mute on the three main players, plus SendSerialCommand and SendTCPCommand definitions for external control.
• Added DJEvent notifications for DJQuitting and SilenceBroken to improve automation and monitoring.
• RDS support has been introduced and can be configured via the new Publishing pane in Preferences.
• Short, non-voiceover tracks that would previously latch to the next item when Auto is off will no longer be automatically linked.
• If a player remains in silence for more than five seconds while it has over ten seconds left on the current file, the application now issues a pause/play reset and records the event in Errors.log.

Scheduler update — version 2011.6.1 (June 2, 2011)

• The scheduler now displays caution icons next to scripts that reference missing iTunes playlists, making troubleshooting easier.
• Added a Find & Replace function for playlists to speed up bulk edits and playlist maintenance.
