"When we were launching Ireland’s first regional radio station, I had no hesitation in buying Myriad; Scoop and Powerlog."

AutoTrack Pro V's AutoTrack

There are a number of key differences between AutoTrack and AutoTrack Pro. AutoTrack is part of the standard Myriad package and as such is designed to provide live assisted and automated output for Myriad users. It's big brother, AutoTrack Pro offers so much more, because it has been designed to meet the demanding needs of UK commercial radio and as such, includes a raft of exciting and powerful features.

AutoTrack provides all the tools needed to schedule live and automated programming with basic control of the way it schedules music and links and how the final output sounds. AutoTrack Pro takes this concept a quantum leap forward by letting you control and alter just about every aspect of your station schedule and databases. It provides you with the ability to analyse the schedule and make changes before they are sent to the playout system, to set up configurable Rules and Guides on a per Category basis and use multiple 'clock assignments' to add variation to your weekly output. All this is achieved with an engaging and intuitive interface that requires only minimal training to get great results. In addition, AutoTrack Pro is compatible with most leading playout systems so you don't have to be a Myriad customer to take advantage of the great features.

The key advantages AutoTrack Pro offers over AutoTrack are:

Configurable Rules & Guides in AutoTrack Pro give you absolute control over how your station sounds.
Rules & Guides applicable on a per Song / Link category basis.
Classify Songs by category, type, style, gender and up to five characteristics.
Artist and Artist Group Management allows you to group Artists and Groups together and manage individual Artists details.
Extended tools for building Clocks puts you in control of every element of planning your schedule.
Add up to eight different weeks to a single Clock Assignment grid to provide weekly variation to your schedule without constant updating the Clock Assignments manually.
Assign date dependent Clock Assignment grids to automatically switch on a given day (great for the approach to Christmas).
Mass change and manipulation tools. No more wading through loads of Song / Link record cards. Apply changes to selected Song / Links at the same time.
Fully editable post scheduling analysis that can even offer alternatives to scheduled Songs / Links along with how the how changes you make are effected by your rules.

Browse, audition and edit audio on your playout system from within AutoTrack Pro (limited playout system support).
Mass import and export facilities and for portability of data between multiple databases.
