Everything your station needs to go live
MakingWaves handles the technology so you can focus on programming great shows and growing your audience.
A branded station website, ready in days
Your station gets a fully managed website on a makingwaves.live subdomain or your own custom domain (Pro and Studio tiers). The site shows your schedule, DJ profiles, recent shows, and a live player — all updated automatically as your DJs broadcast.
No web design skills needed. Pick your colours, upload your logo, and the site takes care of itself. Mobile-responsive, fast-loading, and optimised for search engines out of the box.
Your DJs sign up, connect, and publish
Each DJ joins your station with a unique station code. They get their own MakingWaves account at a discounted rate, with access to all the DJ tools — live track ID, OBS overlays, mastering, and publishing.
When a DJ publishes a mix, they can choose to send it to your station's Mixcloud and YouTube channels alongside their personal ones. You connect the station channels once; every DJ on the roster can use them.
Your station in every listener's pocket
Pro and Studio stations get a branded iOS and Android listener app — your name, your logo, your colour scheme. Listeners can tune in live, browse your show schedule, and get push notifications when their favourite DJ goes on air.
Studio tier customers get a fully custom app icon and branding — no MakingWaves logo visible anywhere. We handle the App Store and Google Play submission for you.
Professional stream graphics for every DJ
Every DJ on your station gets a live overlay URL they drop into OBS. The current track, show name, and station branding update in real time as they mix. Five preset designs built in, with custom styling available.
The overlay binds to localhost only — no public exposure, no API keys. It just works.
Visual schedule that stays up to date
A drag-and-drop schedule grid where DJs claim time slots and listeners see what's coming. The schedule auto-publishes to your station site and mobile app — no manual updates needed.
Perfect for internet radio stations running multiple shows across the week. Set recurring slots, handle cover requests, and keep your programming tight.
One mix, every platform
DJs master their recorded mixes to broadcast loudness, identify every track with audio fingerprinting, and publish to Mixcloud, Hearthis, and YouTube with auto-filled tracklists, descriptions, and chapter markers.
Station channels appear alongside the DJ's personal channels in the publish picker. The DJ chooses where each mix goes — their channel, the station's, or both.
