Dear Customers,
the distribution of MB STUDIO updates continues through an annual subscription to a small cost that is used to guarantee the continuous development of MB STUDIO and all the products connected to it. To receive the updates, it is necessary to subscribe an annual plan that has different costs depending on the version of MB STUDIO to be updated and the number of licenses contained in the USB key. If you do not subscribe to the update plan you can continue to use your MB STUDIO without any limit.
Updates are included for free for 12 months after the purchase of a new MB STUDIO license or a Video plugin or an upgrade from HOME to LITE or from LITE to PRO
Now available MB LIVE ANDROID, the software codec that allow live audio connections from anywhere to the main radio studio. This connection allow to broadcast live events like radio commentary, concert, show, news reports. Outside the studio you just need an Android device smartphone/tablet and an internet connection; there's no need of human interaction in the studio; from outside, MB LIVE ANDROID connect to MB STUDIO PRO or MB RECASTER PRO and you can go on air stand alone or voice tracking the current song; also you can add/remove items from the on air playlist or disable breaks.
Sooner or later you may need to move MB STUDIO to a new, more powerful computer or clone it to a second backup computer. In both cases we see the operations to be performed:
MB STUDIO manages the automatic TIME ANNOUNCEMENT. The announcement, in its simplest form, consists of 2 concatenated files: the first file announces the hours and the second announces the minutes. So, to cover an entire day you must prerecord 24 speech files each a different time (for example: "it's 9", "it's 10", "it's 11") and then 59 files announcing the minutes (example: "oh 1", "oh 2", etc).
Files can be of any type .wav, .wma. ogg ,. mp3 and must be called hoursxx (for example hours09.mp3) and minutesxx (for example minutes01.mp3).
ATTENTION: those who want it can also record a single file that announces hours and minutes, that can be useful for example at the hour in point (at minute 00) to record an entry with a different pitch, for example "It is eleven in the morning! ". When you want MB STUDIO to use a single file, save it in the time folder with the syntax hoursxxxx; for example at midday MB STUDIO will look for the file hours1200.mp3, if it does not find it then it will first look for the file hours12.mp3 and then the file minutes00.
If you send the stream to a shoutcast 2 server (no Shoutcast 1 or Icecast) you can also send covers within the audio stream, for example the logo of the radio station and the covers of the songs or programs broadcast. In this way the webplayer can download the cover directly from the server and display it to the listener. To enable this function, simply activate the "Send Cover" option in the shoutcast 2 encoder:
