Instructions & Helpful Tips for Tracking a show

• Create a playlist in Spotify and populate with songs

  • Arrange the songs in desired playout order

    • Ideal playlist length is slightly under 1 hour. Use this as a guide, not a hard rule.

  • Copy the Link to the playlist (See RED circle in the Spotify image for “Copy Link to Playlist” location)

• Send the playlist link(s) to the email audio@hometeam.fm

  • For shows that are multiple hours create separate playlists for each hour and share the link for each hour individually.

  • If your want to include songs that are not available on Spotify please denote this information in the email referenced below.

• Record “Voice Tracks (VTs)” for your playlist. Voice track constitute your recorded voice: song intros, outros, song or artist comments, etc. Generally anything you want to add about the song or artist and/or any other pontifications.

  • VTs have no structured order. Some examples may include : Song Intro (musing) > Song > Song > Song outro (musing) + Song Intro > Song > Song > Song outro (musing) + Song Intro > Song …

  • If you are not using a home or professional studio to record spoken word, you can use your phone to record your voice tracks as voice memos.

    • The most important thing to consider is that your voice memo app saves the file as an actual audio file. WAV, MP3 are common examples.

      • A decent free app is DOLBY ON

        • Search for DOLBY ON in Google Play (for Android) or the Apple Store (for iPhones)

• Send Voice Tracks links or attach audio files in email to audio@hometeam.fm

  • Share them through a file sharing program such as: Google Drive, Dropbox or We Transfer

  • Email links for audio from file sharing sites OR attach audio files to email.
