Brian's studio currently looks like this.



The Computer Voiced Semi Artificial Intelligence Automation Control System.
Currently with 67,415 Voice-Tracking audio files.
It's a combination of three pictures because I can't get it all in in one.
All Workstations connected together by a local network + 2, 3 & 4 have internet.
... left to right,
1- Pira P275 FM Broadcast Analyzer and audio quality control.
2- BBC News, Atomic Clock sync and Samantha's Weather downloader.
3- Master music Database information research and input.
4- SayThisNext for requests or dedications, research and programing.
5- Voice-Tracking Text to Speech synthesizer generator, programing.
6- Audio Editor, Clip Restoration and Level Equalization, data input.
7,8 - Auto-Jock 1&2 Playout, Audio Processor + RDS Station Name.
+ The station Clock at the top.
*NOTE* No Microphone.

Wow. That's a damn nice setup May I ask you, which software you use for TTS-synthesis? There's a lot out there but for what I know only the paid ones sound natural. Also, which software do you use for playout? And as I don't see a mixer, which solution do you use to transport your audio from the playout software to the sound processor? I invested a lot of time in finding a solution to the latter problem. I wanted to use ASIO to transport my audio from RadioBoss to StereoTool - the .vst-plugin worked but didn't produce a RDS-signal. My solution is to use a virtual sound card (VB-audio) with the WASAPI-driver - sadly this results in significant latency.

For the main 8 Voices I use AT&T Natural Voices.
For the two Australian accents I use Nuance RealSpeak Voices.
For Mr.Angry I use Cepstral Text to Speech.

In the picture you can see Breakaway on the right hand side which takes it's feed from my
Auto-Jock program digitally and feeds the Transmitter Rack up on the roof by an MPX signal.

Very Nice..... !
