(N.) How to Simulate a live with speaker?

Hello, I wanted to understand how to do this thing, if it is feasible:
In practice I would like to simulate a live radio with a speaker that reads the news between the songs ...

so the playlist will look like this

Jingle
Song1 (random)
----> VO Speaker (which starts approximately from the OUTRO onwards of the Song1, continues on the Intro of the song2)
Song2 (random) - which starts on the sung after the intro
Jingle
Song3 (random)
----> VO Speaker (which starts approximately from the OUTRO onwards of the Song1, continues on the Intro of the song2)
Song4 (random) - which starts on the sung after the intro
.................... and so on rotation

clearly the times of insertion from the OUTRO should be calculated according to the seconds of INTRO of the song2
and if there is not the possibility to complete the thing between the outro and the intro and the VO would go to talk about the void of music, we add a base of filling ...

I know that other Automation Systems do this thing but I do not know if it's feasible here and how it can be done.
I think it's an IMPORTANT function.

evidently such an important function is snubbed by radio dj. Maybe you do not know well how it should be a speech of the DJ speaker live to be able to simulate such a thing with automations. In the end this software is used to automate the radio ... but has little experience of how a radio should work. ???

yet I imagine that this function is the simplest and right to do, something that should come naturally without forcing.

Everything you want to do can be done with the TTS function. Write the appropriate scripts and use TTS to play them back.

E ti sembra la stessa cosa rispetto ad avere uno speaker umano anche se registrato in radio?

ehm, I'll translate  ;)
It's not the same as having a human voice, even if prerecorded before! (a bit sarcastic)

You can use a human voice, even yours, if you voice track.  :angel: Using the proper cues on your music tracks, you can talk over the end of a song, do news, then do a voice-over intro of the next song. Record your voice tracks using the internal Record function or you can use any other program to record voice tracks, like Cool Edit Pro or Audacity. Set it up using the Playlist Builder. It's all possible.

And you can use Radio DJ as a live assist, if you want to do it live. It all depends on how much effort you want to put into what goes out on your stream.

Hi Chip Douglas Mosley, your answer is very interesting.   :cool: :cool:
Is there a video tutorial showing how to do it?

Sounds to me like you guys are beating up a program and really dont know the Authors background at all.If I misunderstand the conversation I apologize.
Here is one of the first Videos I found when making the switch to Radio dj. Straight forward and I believe it is doing EXACTLY what you are asking.

Jhonny also has a really good tutorial at https://radiodj.info/index.php

The specific section on voiceovers is here: https://radiodj.info/plugins/playlistbuilder.php

Good luck! It really works for me. :cool:
