i’m a soloist, on a solo list
All live, never on a floppy disk. Well, I had my show tonight, and it was pretty meh I guess. No one was listening, but I recorded it for mom and pop. I’m listening to it now. Realtime CD burner needs more low end on the inputs.
I think the first hour of the show was OK, but then I got kinda bored and tired. I also made a slight miscalculation regarding the length of my playlist, so I was about 10 minutes short. That’s OK, because it gave me an excuse to play the last three songs from Rage’s S/T.
I’m really good at live-editing profanity now. I played the last three Rage songs without even looking up the lyrics, and it was no problem. My hand just hovers over the off/on buttons, I don’t even think about it. I’ll be cueing up songs or logging at the same time, no hassles. It’s funny, because when I’m listening to music elsewhere I’ll find myself muting any profanity with imaginary buttons on my desk or something.
It would be nice to have sweepers. Someone stole the CD.
Who steals a sweepers CD? What, you gonna roll down Sunset in your Navigator with the KSCR drops pumpin’ at full volume? Gimme a break.
Anyway, we have the master of course, so I mixed two of ‘em together before the show. No effects though, just voice… Good for playing over a song, but kinda uninspired as a bumper. Hmm, effects. Effects would be nice.
Weird listening to myself talk… I have a deep voice. The last two minutes of Township Rebellion into the beginning of Freedom is some of the best music recorded in the last 15 years, I think. #

So who voices your drops? Is it someone on staff or does the station pay someone to do them. Are they produced by staffers?

It’s the guy from CC Houston, actually. We had a student who interned there last summer, and the guy at CC laid down about 4 min of stuff for us. He’s really good.
We just found out that we can use KUSC’s production facilities (top notch, they voice track every show, etc.), so that should be good.
