Castaro Web Studio — 8-channel mixer with media library and ON AIR indicator

Everything a modern station needs

From the first jingle drop to hour-accurate program clocks — Castaro covers manual and automated workflows.

8-channel mixer

CD, tape, jingle, and microphone channels with faders, cue, level meters, and live monitoring — like a real studio desk.

Broadcast clocks

Plan program clocks minute by minute, configure TOTP transitions, and sync automation to wall-clock time with one click.

AI content & TTS

Generate news blocks, voice them, and drop them straight into your show. Major external suppliers are supported.

Media library

Music, jingles, beds, news, and ad-hoc files — searchable and draggable onto any channel.

Crossfade & audio scan

Smart transitions, category lockouts, and automatic fade curves for a professional sound.

MixerAPI

Program mix as a stream for external tools — ideal for the Castaro RadioSound extension and other integrations.

Inside the studio

Dark pro design, clear channel layout, and a dedicated area for automation and configuration.

Castaro RadioSound extension

For professional broadcasting, Castaro Web Studio delivers the finished program mix via the MixerAPI.getMasterMixStream() interface. The Castaro RadioSound extension picks up this stream and routes it to your external output — e.g. encoder, streaming software, or hardware monitor.

  • Microphone mix-minus in General Settings (recommended with RadioSound)
  • Mute the browser monitor and listen only via RadioSound
  • No feedback loop between local monitoring and program output
