Dynamic Score

Making decisions on automated dynamic range compression requires a scoring system that takes three different measurements into consideration.

Audio encoding artifacts

How audio encoders use psychoacoustic masking to reduce file sizes, and why this process creates audible artifacts in compressed formats.

Loudness and normalization

Understanding what is loudness, how it's measured and why standards exist.

Bit depth in digital audio

Understanding bit depth, quantization and why float sample rates are needed.

Audio dithering

How randomization helps to alleviate the effects of quantization.

Autonomous radio automation.

Your station costs too much to run.

Right now, someone's manually building playlists. Someone's babysitting overnight automation. When sources fail at 3am, someone gets the call.

A26 is radio automation that actually runs itself.

Pulls content from RSS feeds automatically. Builds schedules without human intervention. Switches sources when failures happen. Generates AI-voiced newscasts from wire services and drops them into programming. Delivers streams without manual oversight.

No overnight staff watching systems. No emergency calls about dead air. No one dragging files into playlists. Your team creates content, not babysits infrastructure.

Listen to Radio 10, a station powered by A26

The difference is everything.

Built to run without you.

The old way
Code. Configuration. Constant fixes.

$

prod-radio --check radio.py Error: line 2: Unknown parse error $ vim /etc/prod-radio/sources.conf # Fix RSS parser timeout # Rebuild playlist queue logic # Debug crossfade transition # Configure metadata relay $ systemctl restart prod-radio $ tail -f /var/log/prod-radio.log [ERROR] Source transition failed [ERROR] ActiveMQ failed [WARNING] Dead air detected 00:00:42 $ ssh radio-server # it's 3am

Traditional automation means writing configuration files, debugging scripts, and hoping your setup survives the night. When feeds fail, you're editing code. When sources break, you're SSHing into servers. Your team needs to understand the technology stack just to keep audio flowing.

A26 runs your station without configuration files or command lines. Add RSS feeds through a web interface. Upload audio files. The system handles scheduling, processing, failover, and delivery. No code. No servers. No 3am debugging sessions. Your team creates content. A26 makes it broadcast.

Intelligent automation

A26 doesn't just schedule content—it understands it. RSS feeds become scheduled programming. Podcast episodes queue automatically. When sources fail, fallback chains activate instantly. Time-based switching happens without configuration. The system makes decisions so you don't have to.

Broadcast sound quality

Professional audio processing on everything. Consistent loudness across all sources—podcasts, music, live feeds. EBU R128 compliance means listeners never adjust volume. Stereotool delivers the processing that major broadcasters use. Your content sounds like it came from a million-dollar facility.

AI-voiced news

Wire service content becomes natural-sounding newscasts. AI voices that don't sound robotic. Automated scheduling drops news at programmed times. Weather updates from real-time data. Your station stays current without hiring news staff or voice talent.

From constant work to automatic operation

A26 transforms manual radio management into hands-free broadcasting

Who this is for

Stations that need more output without hiring more people. Podcast networks wanting 24/7 channels without 24/7 staffing. Broadcasters tired of expensive systems that still need constant attention.

If your operation depends on hoping nothing breaks, A26 changes that.

How it works

We host everything. You provide RSS feeds or upload content. We handle acquisition, scheduling, processing, failover, and delivery. You get working streams and a web player.

Three service tiers from core automation to AI news generation, custom APIs, and live capabilities.
