The agent only writes scripts — approving one never spends. Voicing (which uses ElevenLabs credits) stays the manual step above, with a cost confirm.

Music bed — optional pathSpoken voice-over (ElevenLabs) drops in here once that connector's switched on.
Audio mastering
Fix a recorded show before it airs — lift sections where the level dipped, tame an over-hot presenter, and check it won't clip on playout. Real processing, on this PC, with the original never touched.
Source audio
Full path to the show file on this PC (the engine reads it directly — no upload)Tip: in File Explorer, Shift-right-click the file → “Copy as path”, then paste it here.
Normalise show
Finds any section where the level dropped (a dodgy fader, a quiet patch) and lifts it back to match the rest of the show — ramped so there's no click, then peak-limited.
Normalise speech
Tames an over-hot presenter mic with gentle compression — they stay out in front, just stop jumping out over the music.
StrengthClipping check
Measures loudness and true-peak levels and tells you if it'll clip on playout. If it's hot, make it broadcast-safe in one click.
Outputs are saved next to the original as …_normalised, …_speech or …_safe (320 kbps). Your original file is never overwritten.
Podcast export
Turn a finished show into an upload-ready file for Mixcloud or podcast — mastered to podcast loudness, topped & tailed with station idents, and tagged. Real processing on this PC.

Output logger
Ofcom requires you to keep a recording of everything you broadcast (community licence: 42 days minimum). This captures the live stream around the clock into a rolling archive you can scrub back through — running on this PC.

Loudness check
Point it at a folder of recordings and get a one-page report of which shows are too quiet, too hot, or clipping — so everything goes to air at a consistent level. Writes a CSV report into the folder.

Local businesses
Businesses across that can approach for sponsorship — who they are, how to reach them, and when you last did. The list refreshes itself from OpenStreetMap whenever it goes a week stale; anything you type wins over anything it finds. Private to the Admin Hub.

Packages & pricing
What the station sells, and for how much — click a package to edit it, or add one. Nothing is for sale until you put it here, and a saved price is live at once: the tiles in the Community Hub, the membership pages, and the amount asked for at the bank all read from this one list.
Bundle discount
Take a percentage off when a business buys more than one package in the same basket. Nothing to hand out and nothing for them to type — it applies itself.
