Thanks for watching the video. You note the studio. I have been remodeling and equipping the studio for a live audio and video feed for the past few months. I suspect that we will do the first show in May 2024. I'll post a photo when everything is ready.
Thanks for the feedback! Have you seen the latest Rodecaster Pro? Check out the reviews on RUclips. I don't really need it, but I want to have it. :) Just like all of that unused equipment in the studio closet!
I am disappointed that I have not been able to keep this channel fresh with new material. And I am aware that compared to other RUclips channels, mine is not very instructive. Over the past year I have been preoccupied with meeting my program deadlines, then an increase in the "non-radio" activities of my marketing consulting business. My retired life has been much busier than I imagined.
Hey @Dan, I just discovered you his past weekend and your program this weekend! what a fantastic historical review you do! love the BHTS videos I'm always in awe of artists and the talent behind their craft! i am looking forward to new episodes of the weekend rewind
Every DJ I have ever known is a performer before being a record-spinner. So, we are thrilled when a listener gives us kind words. Like you, I love seeing other studio environments and how the DJ commands the controls. Regretfully, I stopped producing the show in 2021, but 38 episodes (audio) are available online at feeds.buzzsprout.com/1779409.rss
@@danacreesweekendrewind3205, yes I love it being able to see your flow, the fact you shared the whole lot is freaking awesome! I do video/ television stuff so I understand the complexities but love seeing how others organize!
Sorry for the slow response. I just got back from Europe. I know SAM has been a staple for years. I looked at several systems and decided on MegaSeg for my Mac workflow. www.megaseg.com It has been a year since I last used it. I paid $199 at the time.
Hi Dan - Fabulous video! Thanks for sharing! I notice those year shouts are from JAM... but where are the custom sung jingles from? Thanks for providing such entertaining content!
You are correct, sir! JAM still offers the year shouts and sings. I decided to use just the shouts and only in the hourly intro. Before I found www.radiojingles24.com/ I spent a bunch of money on trying to get the right jingles. In the beginning, I hired a composer in NYC to write and record a 60-sec donut sing for the intro. I used it for about 4 shows before I found the British guy at 24 Hour Jingles. VERY fairly priced and has a nice selection of cuts.
Ron: For my workflow, the Rodecaster Pro is a perfect fit. I understand that the Pro II has several improvements. It operates like a traditional radio studio board, including the Mic channel that mutes the monitor speakers when activated. As for the script that you see on screen; that is nothing more than a MS Word doc. I write the script, then edit on the fly as needed. Adlibing is fine, but when you are trying to deliver precise timing (for syndication, or automated use) scripting is my choice. For a tight show that fits into the space allocated, I find that writing in advance allows me to "polish" the final to tighten up the words to say the most in the least amount of time.
Do I stumble? I stumble like a drunken sailor. But thanks to the miracle of editing, that gets fixed in post. Each week, I usually have to restart a segment of two. For automation I settled on www.megaseg.com/ MegaSeg made for Macs. I know there is a handful of PC-based apps. You just have to choose one that works for your style.
You are kind to say so. Years of experience and guidance by some great radio people like Gary Owens (a mentor). I have come to believe that a good DJ is really a talented voice actor who knows how to connect with the listener. A lot of that is natural talent. The deep radio voice is no longer required.
@@danacree198 I’m looking to start my own radios station online and this is a great template to follow your command and engagement with the audience is super I will be studying this if you don’t mind. 🙏
That was my intention. I wanted to share the paperwork, as well as the program. That form took a long time to create and tweak. An automated radio station will rely much more on setting the parameters of the scheduling program (MegaSeg, AudioVault, etc) which will allow for a very detailed set of adjustments for what to play, and when. Don't forget to find those related FB pages and user groups where you can share your own discoveries and learn from others.
Indeed. For this kind of show, timing is critical. Every word counts, so not the best place to ad-lib. You want to handcraft the segments to provide the most for the time allowed.
Fantastic radio show! It was fun listening to you here 😊
I'm not sure why; people seem to like it when I'm playing music, rather than just rambling.
@@danacree198 LOL!! How about this I love both
Superb radio voice very slick presentation technique love the home studio.

@@danacreesweekendrewind3205 yes i have downloaded the lot with the show flow and scripts gonna start listening right away
@@JulienDeon my intention with providing the scripts, lists, and program log is to demonstrate how to structure a typical syndicated program.

This was really good! Very good delivery in a great selection in music!
Thanks for the feedback! Setting the flow of the songs is critical to controlling the energy.
Your really good sir. Im your follower from
Philippines with love!😍
Francis, thanks, and welcome! Glad to have you on the channel.
LOVE IT
Thank you my friend! Hope you are well.
Love it. Nice job sir. Real radio. By the way what system are you using? I have Sam Broadcaster.

I See Your Using The Rodecaster Pro, It Is An Awesome Mixer. What Word Program are you using, and what kind of font ?

Scripted radio?
