Voicetracking in Rivendell is a capability wherein custom "one-off" content is created and inserted into logs, making it possible to create programming that sounds very spontaneous and "live". Such voicetracks are placed into a special type of audio cart known as a voicetrack cart. These carts are automatically created, deleted and managed by the voicetracker interface (accessible within both the RDLogEdit and RDAirPlay modules), with no manual user intervention required. The voicetracker module also includes extensive capabilities for allowing customization of the transitions between log elements.

The Voice Tracker Dialog
Before beginning voicetracking for a particular service, a voicetracker group and pool of available cart numbers must be configured in the RDAdmin module. See Section 12.7, “Managing Voicetracking” for more information.
A voicetrack marker is a meta event that can be inserted into a log as a "placeholder" to others to indicate where a voicetrack is to be recorded. Track markers can be inserted by RDLogEdit, RDLogManager events or even embedded in data generated by external schedulers.
