Audio announcements
Announcements that sound planned, not improvised
A short message at the right moment — last orders, closing time, a seasonal offer — can be useful. Played from a phone at random volume, it just interrupts. Tunelay lets you upload your recordings and schedule them like the rest of your music.
Upload, schedule, done
Upload announcements as MP3 or WAV files. Schedule each one at fixed times, or repeat it at an interval within a time window — for example every 30 minutes between 17:00 and 19:00 — for one location, some locations or all of them.
Automatic ducking
When an announcement plays, the music lowers smoothly (by 14 dB by default, over half a second), the message plays clearly on top, and the music returns over one and a half seconds. No abrupt cuts, no silence.
Used with care
Announcements are always optional. Nothing is inserted unless you upload and schedule it, and there are no third-party ads. Some venues, like spas, use them only in reception or not at all.
- Recorded audio only in the first release
- Generated voice announcements are planned (coming soon)
Frequently asked questions
Can I use text-to-speech?
Not yet. In the first release you upload recorded audio. Generated voice is on the roadmap.
Can announcements play only in one zone?
Yes. Schedule them for the locations and zones where they make sense.
How loud are announcements compared with the music?
The music is lowered underneath while the announcement plays; the amount can be adjusted.
