The Radio Black Friday deal takes 65% off this utility plugin from Plugin Boutique, bringing it to $10 until Nov 29, 2026.
Radio, by Air.Play, streams internet radio stations inside your DAW or as a standalone app. You can use it as a sample source while you write, or simply have it on in the background while you work.
The Radio plugin keeps things simple. Launch it, pick a station from the curated list, and listen.
Radio records the last 30 seconds of whatever it is streaming. When something catches your ear, select that clip, save it, and drag it into your DAW.
You can also buffer audio inside Radio for sampling, or record the whole stream on a track in your DAW.
The station presets cover a wide spread: comedy, sci-fi, police scanners, ambient, spoken word, paranormal and plenty more. The maker's pitch is that the variety keeps surprising you.
The onboard FX section adds 24 processors. These emulate vintage radios, car and portable stereos, small speakers and phones.
Route a clip through the tube radio speaker setting, for instance, and it comes out sounding like it left a real consumer device rather than a clean digital feed.
Radio runs as a plugin or a standalone application. Formats differ by platform:
The maker's notes say Radio is designed for listening while you work or for inspiration. Ownership of every source remains with whoever made it, released it, or otherwise holds the rights, so recordings taken from Radio can only go into your own work once the rights holder agrees. Recording streamed audio may also be restricted by law in your country.
