Listeners hear you about 30 seconds later; that buffer is what keeps their stream smooth through glitches and deploys. Use Monitor or the Test page if you want to hear yourself.
Cart wall
Sound effects play over everything. Voice carts duck the music. Keys 1-9, 0 fire the first ten.
Studio discussion
A private voice line between presenters, so you can chat off air. Listeners never hear it. Wear headphones.
Mixer
everything that can reach listeners
🎵Queue & auto-DJ
The music bed. Plays your queue, top to bottom.
How the auto-DJ chooses
🔊Carts & voice-overs
Sound effects and voice clips from the cart wall, or voice-overs attached in the queue. They play on top of the music.
📡Relay
Rebroadcast another station or stream. While it runs it replaces the queue music; mics and carts still mix on top.
🎛External encoder
Broadcast from a desktop app (BUTT, OBS, Mixxx) or a hardware mixing desk. While it's connected it takes over the whole station.
