Capture all application audio
Capture and broadcast audio from other applications on Windows, like Skype or your favourite music player. Rocket makes broadcasting a live Skype interview over your internet radio station easier than ever before.
Microphone / Line-in Capture
Capture and broadcast audio from a microphone or line-in jack. Captured audio is mixed with application audio, so you can record from a studio microphone while you play jingles in a media player, or while you interview a guest over Skype.
Multiple Streams and Encoders
Broadcast audio with different codec profiles (like mobile or high quality) or multiple servers. Got your radio station on multiple radio networks? Rocket makes it easy to broadcast simultaneously on all of them to maximize your audience.
Metadata Updates and Automatic Metadata Capture
Rocket can send metadata updates to your radio station on-demand or automatically capture metadata from another application window every few seconds.
Encoder Formats
MP3, AAC, AAC+ (HE-AAC v2), HE-AAC v1, Ogg Vorbis, Ogg Opus, and Ogg FLAC (lossless) are supported. Rocket is bundled with encoder presets for common configurations, but also allows you to customize the encoder settings. Bitrates from 16 to 320 kbps are supported.
Licensed AAC and AAC+ encoders
Rocket includes licensed AAC and AAC+ encoders, to support the legal operation of your radio station.
VST Plugin Support (32-bit)
Process your radio station's audio with world-class DSP effects plugins. Supports 1 VST slot, and is compatible only with VST plugins that provide graphical editors.
High Availability Streaming / Backup Link
Rocket allows you to broadcast simultaneous streams over different network adapters, so if you have multiple internet connections, you can avoid having your stream drop if one connection fails.
Easy Mixer with Stereo VU Meters and Gain Boost
Mix audio from both your microphone and other applications seamlessly.
Icecast with SSL Support
Stream encrypted audio securely to your Icecast server.
Shareable Broadcast Project Files
If you need to share stream settings and credentials with a group of DJs, Rocket makes it easier by saving that data to a file that you can send to them.
Industry-Standard Protocols for Internet Radio
Rocket supports the Icecast 2 protocol (including SSL support), SHOUTcast v1, and SHOUTcast v2.
Stream Diagnostic Test
A built-in diagnostic test checks your streams before you broadcast to make sure all your settings are correct. If something's wrong, it'll give you some hints as to how to fix it.
Logging
Audit long-running broadcasts with logging. See how long your streams stayed connected for and find out if your streaming server reported any errors.
