Remote Voice Tracking - Some interesting Numbers!

How many stations & presenters are using Myriad RVT?

We thought it would be interesting to share a few numbers with your with regard to Myriad Remote Voice Tracking over the past two months. 


Prior to 2020, Remote Voice Tracking (RVT) was an important feature of our software but not one that a lot of stations took advantage of.


Our internal metrics showed small but steady use.


Of course all that changed a few weeks back when many stations found themselves in the situation where RVT was vital to allow them to continue to broadcast. But just how much are stations relying on RVT (in all forms)?

Let's Look At Some Numbers

In the past two months, Myriad 5 customers alone have uploaded a staggering 60 thousand voice links. More than 68% of these have been on the brand new Myriad Anywhere platform (as opposed to desktop RVT) and the vast majority of these have been Cloud hosted (as we only have a small number of self hosted!). Considering that Anywhere Cloud didn't exist before the lockdown, this is fairly astounding.



The graph below isn't for COVID cases or critical hospital beds, it is daily volume of voice links uploaded to Remote Edit Servers around the country!

We don't have metrics for v4 users but we can assume that a fair number of v4 stations are also heavily relying on RVT based purely on the number of inquiries we have received.


It is clear that many stations are now using Myriad RVT to help maintain their station output through this difficult time and we are delighted to have been able to offer the Myriad Anywhere Cloud platform to assist stations to adapt to the new circumstances.


The response has been fantastic and our team are very proud to have been able to help stations "keep calm and carry on"!


We continue to work on the Myriad Anywhere Platform with lots of new features and enhancements planned for the coming weeks to further enable stations to produce quality content despite having limited access to traditional studios.

Santa Baby Radio Part 1(a) -Adding a station to the Kelfield Radio brand

By Liam Burke • October 27, 2025
In this post we will run through how to create a new Station under the Kelfield Radio ‘Brand’ within Myriad Cloud. This assumes that your primary radio station is also on Myriad Cloud. Don’t worry if your primary station is a traditional ‘on premise’ Myriad Playout 6 system, we will be covering how to setup from a traditional system in the next post. In this post, we will cover the steps needed to create a new Station within an existing ‘Brand’ running on Myriad Cloud, but before we start, it is worth mentioning how hierarchy of Organisations, Brands and Stations works in Myriad Cloud.

Santa Baby Radio - Introduction

By Liam Burke • October 27, 2025
Too early to start thinking about Christmas? You may not need to be baking Mince Pies just yet, but if you are thinking about running a festive pop-up radio station this holiday season, you may want to start planning for it now. Over the next few weeks, we are going to guide you through the process of building a fictional festive station called Santa Baby Radio, using the Myriad Cloud platform. This station will be a spin off from the equally fictional Kelfield Radio often featured in our demos and tutorial videos. In this series we will cover every step needed to setup, build and launch Santa Baby Radio using Myriad Cloud. This will include: * Creating a new Station within the Kelfield Radio brand which will share audio content with the parent station. * Use the Mass Change tools to only use the content we want on Santa Baby Radio, and fill in any gaps by uploading news songs and jingles. * Build some clocks and assign them to the weeks leading up to Christmas. * Setup AI Voice Links to add some special, context sensitive content that will make this fully automated service sound live. * Design and build a simple website and web player for the station. * Add in the details needed for the optional mobile apps (iOS, Android & Carplay) as well as an Alexa Skill. * Invite some presenters to voice track shows and even present a special live show on Christmas eve. * Launch the radio station and get started on the mince pies. We will cover these steps in posts released over the coming weeks, so check back regularly for the latest episode.

The Evolution Of SmartSign

By Liam Burke • March 28, 2024
In anticipation of the release of SmartSign 3, we are looking back at the history of our screen studio signage system as well as a quick look at what the future holds. SmartSign 1 (well just SmartSign) was originally conceived as a simple ‘tally’ indicator to how real world events such as when microphones are active or a phone is ringing. At the time, we were working on the BR Hardware Service as part of the general Myriad 5 development cycle, and wanted a way to showcase the virtual hardware events the BR Hardware Service introduced. One of the aims was to make the system as cost effective as possible so work began on building an application that would run on Windows IOT on a Raspberry Pi. The Pi was ideal as it included physical hardware I/O built in meaning that SmartSign could use both physical and virtual GPIO and even convert physical inputs to virtual inputs for use in other BR software such as Myriad Logging or other SmartSigns.  We soon started to add other ‘tiles’ to the system to allow clocks, date / time, text, images, RSS feeds and more. SmartSign was released in 2016 and was an instant hit with our customers.

Possible Low Cost Mixer For Smaller Stations

By Liam Burke • February 26, 2021
We are often asked for recommendations for smaller, low cost mixers for stations that are launching on a tight budget or looking to add additional studio capacity as cost effectively as possible. Type 'stereo mixer' into Google and literally hundreds of options will come up but the vast majority of them are not really suitable for use with Myriad because they do not have enough stereo inputs, are designed for sound mixing or do not offer the basic facilities needed to present a radio show. But there are a few that could be considered as a possible alternative to a full broadcast mixer. The Behringer DX2000USB may be the ideal mixer for smaller stations, as long as they are willing to live the compromises it brings when used in a broadcast radio environment.
