Canalis Air is a reliable, 24/7 playout studio for one station — Auto DJ, intelligent clocks, proper crossfades, streaming and traffic — on a normal PC. It fills its own hour, lands the top-of-hour ID on the hour, and never leaves dead air.
A station should keep its promise to the audience: no dead air, ever.
No 2 GB freeze, no gap between songs, no ID that airs early. Canalis Air keeps the station going whether anyone is watching or not — and puts it straight back if anything falls over.
Automation, imaging, streaming and traffic in a single studio — nothing bolted on, nothing to babysit.
The station fills its own hour from your clocks and plays it. Live Assist and Manual are a click away when someone's in the chair.
Hour templates of slots drawn from categories, with artist and title separation, minimum rest and a repeat floor — an hour that can always be explained.
Before an hour ever airs, Canalis tells you whether it can be sustained from the library — and, if not, exactly how many songs to add.
Each record segues by how it actually ends — a long fade or a cold stop — never one blunt overlap for all. IDs and spots land hard, by design.
Up to three encoded outputs, with listeners and uptime shown right in the studio header. Ready for Icecast and the usual servers.
Advertisers, campaigns, break templates and rate cards, with an as-run log that an invoice is built from.
Seven-by-seven instant players across several banks — drops, sweepers and IDs, eight sounding at once, one press each.
A full waveform cue editor, per-record levelling measured against the library, and fades set by ear — stored beside the file, never written into it.
The engine has no window and never stops when you close the screen. If it falls, the manager restarts it — and tells you if it won't stay up.
Not mock-ups — Canalis Air running a live Caribbean music library.
A clock is a template of slots, each drawn from categories with its own pool and filters. Every clock carries a verdict — Sustains, Tight or Degraded — worked out from the library and its separation rules, so you know an hour will hold up before it ever airs.
The count beside each slot is live: readied a batch of songs? It updates without a reload.
Click a Degraded verdict and Canalis shows the shelf that can't keep up, the numbers behind it, and a plain fix — add 16 more songs, widen the filter, or draw it less often. No guessing why a rotation sounds thin.
Only clocks actually in rotation raise a station-wide warning. A half-built one stays quiet.
The latest build sharpens the two things a station notices most: that the hour lands, and that it never goes quiet.
In Auto DJ, the ID lands exactly on the hour — the crossing record plays its full length and is faded under it. Nothing is cut.
Clocks are checked against the library as you build them, with quantified fixes, and re-checked whenever the library changes.
On air, how many are listening and how long it's held — visible without opening the encoder's console.
Self-contained — no runtimes to install, no audio files touched, no station data at risk on an update.
