SoundGates creates focused software for radio stations, broadcasters, audio professionals, and teams that need reliable results from everyday audio workflows.
Our goal is simple: turn repetitive technical work into clear, dependable processes. Instead of adding another oversized platform, SoundGates develops practical tools that solve specific problems involving playlist data, artist metadata, audio quality, verification, and operational proof.
Built for real audio workflows
Radio automation and playlist data
Clean metadata and consistent artist relationships matter in radio automation. SoundGates tools are designed to reduce manual editing, prevent formatting mistakes, and produce files that fit established broadcast workflows.
Audio quality and verification
Professional audio work requires more than a successful upload. Reliable workflows need clear checks, traceable results, and useful evidence when something must be reviewed, corrected, or confirmed.
Focused tools with useful outputs
SoundGates favors tools that do one job well, explain errors clearly, and produce results people can use immediately—without unnecessary complexity.
Featured tool: Artist Separator
Artist Separator Tool for StationPlaylist Creator generates Related Artists data for the StationPlaylist Creator Related.dat file. It processes solo artists and multi-artist tracks, handles capitalization variants, validates problematic lines, and downloads a Windows-ready file.
- Accepts artist-only lines and entries with optional song titles.
- Handles collaborations separated by a slash.
- Merges case variants such as
ABBAandAbbaby default. - Processes playlist data locally in the browser.
- Exports a StationPlaylist Creator-compatible
Related.datfile.
