What is radio imaging?
Imaging is the produced audio between the songs: station IDs, sweepers, liners, promos and show openers. It tells listeners whose station they're on and gives the station a recognizable sound.
A typical piece is a short voice read over a music bed, with whooshes, hits and drops to punctuate it. The bed has to sit under the voice without burying it, and the finished file has to match the loudness of everything else on air. Radiocast Imaging handles both: auto-duck keeps the bed under the voice, and the export target sets the loudness.
Imaging and the rest of your station
Play your new imaging between songs on AutoDJ, fire it from the samplers in Radiocast Decks during a live set, or use it as a sponsor read alongside Reporter segments.

Questions about Imaging
Common questions from stations making their own imaging.
Imaging is the short produced audio that gives a station its sound between songs: station IDs, sweepers, liners, promos and show openers. It usually combines a voice read with music beds, whooshes and hits.
Radiocast Imaging is a multitrack audio editor built for making that imaging. You record or drop in voice takes, add beds and effects from the sound library, and export a finished piece for your station.
Yes. Record takes straight into a voice track, with an optional 3-2-1 count-in. Each take is saved to your sounds, so you can try several reads and keep the best one.
When auto-duck is on, the music beds dip while the voice is talking and come back up in the gaps. You set how far they dip with the duck depth control.
Pick an export target from −23 to −10 LUFS. −14 LUFS suits most streaming stations. The safety limiter keeps peaks under −1 dBFS so exports don’t clip.
Yes. Radiocast Imaging is included with Radiocast hosting, so there is no separate editor to buy.
