Hi, I could be incorrect, but I think part of the request is to be able to access the voicetracking module/capability directly from RDAirplay's log editor.
One commercial system that I work with (I won't mention which one) has this ability - to voicetrack directly from the log editor which is displayed in the on-air room while the on-air playout engine keeps going. In fact it uses the same log editor whether you're at the on-air location or somewhere else. You just scroll down in the log, highlite / click on the voicetrack entry you want to record, and hit the Record button. It'll let you do your voicetrack. Since voicetracking is a part of the log editor, and the same log editor is used for both the on-air system and elsewhere, it makes it very easy for someone to do both a live and a voicetracked shift at the same time. I've seen jocks do a live break, then while music plays scroll down in the log and record 2 - 3 voicetracks which are scheduled for later in the day, then come back and do another live break without any need to switchfrom one application to another - all within the same log editor. With Rivendell the closest you currently can get is to open up the log editor alongside RDAirplay. This isn't impossible, but does create an extra step and has the potential to cause confusion. I'm not sure what would be involved, but perhaps an idea to look at would be adding a "Voicetrack" button into RDAirplay's log editor which could call up the VT module.
