When the station I work at purchased DAD-Pro in 1997, I thought it was
the great "Satan" of radio and I vowed that I would never, ever voice
track my shift.  That was 2 years ago and these days I voice track
about 90% of my airshift and I love it!  I can voice track a five hour
airshift in about 90 minutes and the only errors are those that I
allow to stay.  I would defy anyone to say that they can tell if I am
voice tracked.  The overall quality is better and it frees up time for
other things.  I believe every station in this market voice tracks to
some degree (except one).

The original question asked if stations voice-track anymore; modern
voice-tracking is relatively new and is in it's infancy.  It will only
grow.

[PAT Note: The guy who does classical music overnight (used on WFMT
and by some PBS affiliates) Peter Van de Graff is all voice-tracked.
He told me once it takes him 'a couple hours at most' to prepare a
six-hour overnight program. And although it is okay, with decent
classical music programming, somehow it just does not seem 'real'.
As someone mentioned, you cannot put your finger on exactly *why*
it sounds odd, but it does. Maybe if you know ahead of time how it
was done, you start looking for errors that do not exist, or for
things so minor they would not be noticed had not you been tipped
off beforehand about it.  PAT]
