While the other radio station stuff is quiet, I'm still bound by deadlines, and indeed the only reason I came back was to help a new DJ get started (whom is proving trickier than anticipated). I have a slightly rough solution (but a solution nonetheless) in mind though if all else fails, just hope the software I need works on Mac should it come to this.

Posted by May Thomson ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=12028&BoardID=4 @Will ... I've always said that I liked the Shoutbox being live during 1Replays for this very reason. I found out more about how your show works, with the chart etc. that session than at any time over the past year. Having the presenter there live while listening to the replay gives plenty to talk about, retrospectively, the current thoughts, the chat about music and everyone seems to be in good humour as well. 43 weeks on the chart for Helen ... murder on the dancefloor ... *lol*
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11110&BoardID=8 Any show between 5pm and 7pm is not good for me to listen into but I'm sure the slot must suit many people around the world. I think the kind of music you play Peff, seems to sound better at a later time, or is that just me? It's strange how some genres sound good at particular times of the day. I like rock during early evening, heavy disco a little later but easy listening during the day ... odd isn't it? I'm happy with my Monday slot and still do the occasional one or two hour 'special' where an autobooking isn't appropriate. I like the idea of the occasional switch around, though. It keeps the schedule fresh, as it were. Martyn

Plus, I'm starting a fulltime job from next Monday and I'm worried that a 6pm start is cutting it a bit fine. Mulling over a few options, but ideally I'd like to keep the 2 hour show on 1Radio, even if that means moving to a different day.

Posted by Espy ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11110&BoardID=8 A rather random comment Mr 1Radio Admin....... I listen back to myself and a few favourites.

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11110&BoardID=8 This is good timing for me, because I'd like to move The Engineerium a bit later... Preferably 7-9pm on a weeknight... (Or 8-10 if that's not at all possible). I've contacted a couple of people privately, but haven't found anyone who wants to swap/move. According to the Autobooking, Thursday 7-9pm is free, but I know that in practice there are 2 DJs who are regularly using those slots. So... I just want to make this public in case anyone is able to help!

Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11984&BoardID=4 As we've had quite a few changes in autobookings over the last 6 months, I thought I would give everyone the opportunity to revisit their slots to see if people wanted to shuffle things around a bit for H2. The latest bookings are shown at http://1radio.org/reports/autobook.php If you wish to move your booking to a currently empty slot, please let me know and I will arrange it. If you would like to swap to a slot taken by someone else, obviously you will need to speak directly with that person to see whats possible. Only if you have the agreement of the other party, should you let me know you'd like to swap. Thanks for your support. Tim

Posted by Colin John ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=12028&BoardID=4 Virgin Media has gone down 3 times in the past week, 2 of those in the past 2 days. I'm currently using my Vodafone Internet dongle. Virgin have agreed to credit me the £15 top up fee, so next months Internet will cost me £15 less. Going for a complete monthly fee reduction now, and have a good chance since BT infinity is now available in my area :) I would advise anyone who loses their Internet due to the providers fault, if you have to top up a dongle or pay any fee to get on the Internet, pursue the cost from your ISP. They really don't want to lose customers or get a bad reputation in today's market :)

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=12015&BoardID=3 Tim, that would have been a great article for the newsletter but it just missed the deadline. I know how frustrating it can be when a DJ has connection problems and where it's easy to feel 'Why is it always during my show' but, of course, there are so many variables that come into play that this issue can crop up at any time. It's best to keep calm and concentrate on what is exactly happening at the very moment it occurs. Ceejay listed some valuable checkpoints in an earlier post that DJs can complete before actually going live and if something does go wrong. If it's at the beginning of a show (it normally is) then panic sets in as we know we only have a few mins to sort it or lose your slot, with punishment (smile). After all the hard work in producing a show, it suddenly goes down the drain and it is so, so disappointing. I do agree that shouting out about it being 1Radio's fault makes it look like we give a bad service so we ought to simply keep calm and quiet and sort it.

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=12017&BoardID=4 If it happens every time you try to connect then obviously you are doing something that is preventing a clear takeover. Main causes I find is 1) Trying to connect to early. If I do this then generally it fixes itself after 10 seconds but it has on a couple of occasions given a connection error and a Moderator has had to connect me. 2) Password needs to be typed in, not copy and pasted. 3) Ensure you aren't trying to connect above the maximum 128kb/s. The best way I find to connect is to use the timer in the DJ panel. Once it hits Zero, count to 6 then connect. Since using this system it hasn't really failed unless the system has skipped my password, but that is easily reset. Those are the only real ssues I have ever had in 3 years so hope that helps.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=12015&BoardID=3 It seems odd that every month I present The Music Wire, it always takes me 10 minutes to connect...

Posted by DJWesty ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11997&BoardID=4 I don't like playing the stream in the browser because it shoots the RAM footprint of the Firefox plugin_container process through the roof (eventually leading to freezes, crashes, etc.). Launch Windows 'Task Manager' sometime and inspect for yourself. Opening the URL http://spring.wavestreamer.com:8863/ via my desktop media player has always been my method of choice instead. But thanks for sharing this tip with those of us who prefer the browser method!
Posted by Espy ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=12005&BoardID=7 Since the last update, 1Radio music player has stopped appearing in the Firefox browser. Here's how to fix it but, do be careful, you are messing with the engine and if you make a mistake it could render your browser useless. I've tried this fix on three computers and it works perfectly. Go to your address bar (where you type in the website address). Type: about:config and press Enter (You may get a warning about messing with the settings) Scroll down (or use the search box to find) the following: plugins.load_appdir_plugins Change it from 'False' to True and restart browser. It will then load Windows media player plugin properly. DJ Martyn

Considering your lack of experience in the field of radio presenting I think you do a tremendous job and the weekly listener figures are a testament to your hard work.

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11984&BoardID=4 I first listened to 1Radio on 25 March 2010, after JP (who I didn't know) promoted his Jumping Beat's show. I applied to join in May after a little encouragement from JP and Ash, and was accepted on 27 May 2010. My first show was 5 June 2010 - 8am one Saturday morning! Having never been a DJ nor a broadcaster of any sorts, I was understandably nervous. Around 18 months later, I was "promoted" to the 10am slot, and to this day, that's the only 2 timeslots I've ever done, although I did do a Friday morning slot for a short while too. It's been a very quick 3 years, and a very enjoyable one too. I've made hundreds of new friends via the social networks, simply because of my love of the music I play and 1Radio. Thanks Tim for allowing me to broadcast on 1Radio, and to everybody who has joined us at any point through the 3 year journey. Here's to the next 3 and more!
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11984&BoardID=4 I was able to listen Saturday from 8am-4pm, and enjoyed it very much. Thanks for the organisation, Alek and Tim, and well done everybody else for getting involved, especially those that were a little out of their comfort zone :)

Posted by Espy ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11965&BoardID=3 I really enjoyed this event and it's success was down to Alek's organization skills. In past events the schedule was open as normal for people to book slots and it wasn't uncommon for people to unbook last minute leaving many hours of AuotDJ. With the exception of a couple of unavoidable cancellations everyone did their shows. Well done Alek on a great event, and the many DJ / Presenters that took part. More like this please.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11965&BoardID=3 I think how it works is that you have to do a show a within a month of your last show, not from the first day to last day of the month. So if your last show was 10th of the month you need to do one before or on the 10th of the following month. Just check your last show date, from Previous Shows on the show page in the DJ panel, to see when your deadline is for booking a show.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11978&BoardID=3 So I was planning on doing a show this week, the only problem is I was gonna do a show today or 2morrow but the slots that i need arent open cause I am running sound for a play at my school again.

Posted by Dj Bobby ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11941&BoardID=3 i dont have stats from the last weekender unfortunately. it was more than a year ago. you can see the numbers for this event from the stats page.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11965&BoardID=3 Thank you all for participating, I'm glad we did it! Tim, please give us some numbers, it would be interesting to compare listeners numbers with previous weekends, although I think there wasn't any significant increase... What is important? 1. Team spirit - more communication among 1R deejays, it is always interesting when many people from different countries work on the same thing 2. Playlists - We had many different playlists, each DJ did it in his own way, and I think the most of you got this "forgotten" idea in a right way 3. "Forgotten" idea - this could be applied in future even in regular shows in many different ways. Now, in the world of mass production it is on DJ to choose the right tracks for performance! I think there are quite a lot of excellent DJs on 1Radio on pro-level. Of course we all have regular jobs and music is still our hobby but it was amazing to discover our potential! Looking forward to future ideas!

Posted by DJ Scuba Steve ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11957&BoardID=3 Hi Guys, Im sure you have noticed the lack of me and total 90's for a few weeks now. Unfortunately I have had to let Friday nights and Sunday mornings go regrettably. Its all down to my work pattern, which has changed. Some pencil pusher behind a desk about 500miles away has decided they can save thousands doing things a different way. This has meant that I am working twilight shifts and night shifts. Due to this it is with a heavy heart that I have had to cancel my autobookings. Hopefully I shall still be able to fit around a few people and still have a wee sneaky show or two here on the one. Thanks for your support over the last lot of months! Keep an eye out for me! :D

Posted by Espy ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11931&BoardID=3 I'm afraid it all comes down to perseverance and refining your skills. a little bit of work on your Mic technique to elimate any background noise and keep the Mic levels form clipping and distorting. Have a very clear idea of what your show will be about and make certain your demo is a good demionstration of that intent. Sorry, that's all the advice I can think of right now.

Posted by Espy ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11932&BoardID=3 Hope you are ready for our weekender and hope we'll have much fun with our listeners. Just few days before it, I need to say something to relax all DJs who took part in it. I've read some concerns about having enough music etc, etc... Well, in my opinion all 80s music can be divided into 3 categories according to importance and popularity. And the main goal is to look from the point of view of an average listener, not a pro DJ :) 1. "GOLD FAMOUS" tracks, we all have tons of that but that is not the main target of this weekender. Of course, it's ok to play few of them to keep the attention of your listeners if you decide so. 2. "FORGOTTEN" tracks - this is the main target of this weekender, and those are all the tracks which were famous at some point of time, but are rarely played on radios today. 3. "NEVER HEARD" tracks - we should avoid this, unless you think that they are really great. So, relax yourself and shake the crowd :) Have fun!

Cheers for tunning in, I'm gald you are enjoying it. WE have now launched season 1 of 1:18 migration and will air an episode a week for hte next 9 weeks (there are 9 episodes per season). Once that is done, we will give it a break before airing season 2, there are also 4 "one shot" episodes that are set in the world of 1:18 but are stand alone episodes with diferent characters and fill in some of the mysteries that Jonas Wayde never uncovers himslef. We will probably play 2 of them between season 1 and 2 and the other 2 after season 2. By then, with luck, Season 3 might be out.

There was no need for me to get friends using it, as I said it was unlimited but a maximum file size of 200Mb. The paid account let you upload any size of file. It is the best of the free cloud storage sites I have found up to now.

You earn the extra 40Gb by getting friends to join, using the Facebook and Twitter links and so on. The more people who joing through your link, the more storage you get.

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11885&BoardID=4 Hi everyone, I've realised that I need to postpone this week's show. It's assignment and assessment season at Uni, and it was a bit of a stretch trying to get last week's show together as well as keep up with my other commitments. Much as I'd love to prioritise The Engineerium over everything else, I really need to do well on the assignments that are due in this week. Similarly, I don't want to do a slapdash job on The Engineerium and throw something together without much preparation, so I'm offering 6-8pm on Wednesday if anyone wants it. (You can take both hours or just one) If no one wants it I will play out a recording of one of my older shows, if that's cool :)
Posted by DJ PK ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11888&BoardID=3 Martyn, it's an excellent idea to collect all DJ pages at one place! Bravissimo!

Posted by DJWesty ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11885&BoardID=4 It's been a week of major computer problems for me, luckily though, I still managed to broadcast using a spare laptop and with some help from DJ Will on Friday. Thanks, Will, much appreciated. However, I'm a little behind with the newsletter so, if anyone has something they would like to announce ... news, updates, facts or figures, do email them into me over the next 3 days or so, if you can. This will be a great help so that I can enter the content and get it out on time. I tend to aim for 11th or 12th of the month. Also, if you have a Facebook account, website, archive host etc. for your programme, do send the URLs into me and I'll make up a page containing all the DJs fan-pages. Quite often, I only find out where our DJs host their various promo sites when they post them on the Shoutbox, so it would be good to have a page where they are listed and can be updated as and when. Thanks everyone, Martyn
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11885&BoardID=4 Thanks forthe info Ceejay, that makes sense. As it was quite last min Mark should really should have just cancelled it and left the slot open Oh well Never mind!
Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11876&BoardID=3 I don't think mods can transfer a slot unless the person that books it informs them. If they start doing that then it would mean I could ask for Wills Saturday Morning, if I could get up in time, without him actually cancelling. Mark either needs to send a transfer request to you or unbook it.

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11793&BoardID=3 I suggested PodOmatic to Rhodders during his show last week and he gave his reasons why he didn't want to use it. But, with any of these sites, it's how you drive traffic to them that makes the difference. If people don't find it when performing a search, then it's up to the DJ to tell the world about it. So back to square one, then. Martyn

Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11684&BoardID=3 Rhodders, I think it all depends on what content do you podcast... Each solution has some pros and cons, it's up to you to choose. 1. I have my own podcast on server with unlimited space (http://podcast.dance.rs/), decent look, does have iTunes connection and RSS feed, also download. Minus for this solution is that it's your own podcast and you are not the part of the community. People who want to listen to your show will reach it from your site or facebook, but you will have no new random fans. That's huge minus. 2. Mixcloud - unlimited space, decent popularity, lack of regular download, suitable for DJ mixes and remixes. I think royalty fees on Mixcloud are included so everything you podcast is covered according to law. 3. Podomatic - I also use this and love it! The only lack is storage space, only 500MB for free (i.e. 10 hours on 128kbps). But it looks great, easy to setup & post, and huge community which will bring more listeners outside of 1R. I get new friends there every day!
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11830&BoardID=3 I have used Mixcloud for around 2 years, Scuba. I have 99 shows there but found that as there is no legal download there, people tended not to listen again. After extensive research, Colin John signed up to Podomatic, Rhodders. He encouraged me and subsequently others to do the same. It is a fine piece of kit that offers a download facility, like iTunes. Your Podomatic updates feed to iTunes and my experience is that it is iTunes that gets you the listeners/downloads without a doubt and NOT Podomatic. It may be that the Podomatic association helps rather than just coming from your website. Happy to share more on this privately if you wish.

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11793&BoardID=3 ...continued... 3. Web radios usually don't have hundreds of listeners, dozens are the best I think... It's not a huge number, so consider targeting audience personally instead of making bulk e-mails, events with hundreds of invited people, it will possibly irritate some part of audience. Instead, people could much more appreciate personalized friendly approach. Something like this: "Hey Lisa, I'm doing a special event on 1R with their best DJs on May 25th and 26th. It would be great to see you there, come and join us and bring your friends to have a chat and fun together..." or similar... 4. If each of our listeners brings 1 more person to this event, we will have DOUBLE results, wouldn't it be great? :D Any ideas welcome... Let's play this marketing game, could be fun :D

What's next??? Before thinking of the next events, now it's time to think about the promotion! I already started easy promotion of this event on my podcast, you can check how it looks here: http://discosusret.podomatic.com/ And I hope we'll all do a decent promotion which could result in increase of listeners number. Just few ideas here, if anyone have some tricks, please expand this :) 1. Try to modify your current webpages and/or podcasts with event promotion (I'll send posters and promo text in a day or two). I included "1Radio.org" in the title field of my podcast... 2. Consider linking 1R site with your referral link so you can later trace how succesful was your action. Referral link looks like this: http://1radio.org/refer/?ID=1846c146 ...to be continued...

Posted by Sean ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11684&BoardID=3 I think if it is played within a DJ / Presenters slot and billed as Guest DJ, there shouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't like to see this as a weekly occurrence but on the odd occasion it should be fine, even during a weekender event. If it fills slots then all the better :)
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11684&BoardID=3 @Alek It would be best if you play the file within an existing show since its an unknown person without a slot/profile on 1R. On that note, I would be interested in other people's views of allocating 2 hours to a pre-recorded show from an unknown person. I appreciate its to fill space, but a community event such as a weekender ought really to be manned by genuine 1R presenters. Thoughts?

It will have to be my first 'outside broadcast' for 1R but pencil me in and I'll confirm it in a couple of days. What type of music do you want as I haven't heard your Tuesday show, yet? Martyn
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11793&BoardID=3 I can now do two hours on Sunday 6-8pm would be great.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11684&BoardID=3 I had planned on doing an 80s show on the Sunday just to sort of keep with a weekend I didn't plan on forgotten songs but with my music taste some of them could be. So you can put me down for a Sunday as well
Posted by Sean ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11684&BoardID=3 Great Tim! I could play the prerecorded file if you let me broadcasting 4 hours instead of 2. Or I can send it in dropbox, whatever you like... I will check with people who already have Sunday slots and let you know asap.
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11684&BoardID=3 i can do my autobooked 10pm slot. who will playout the pre-recorded mix? also, there are a couple other autobooks on sunday, it would be good to check with them first before giving their slots away (unless they are signed up already, its not clear to me) http://1radio.org/reports/autobook.php
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11684&BoardID=3 Steve, that's fantastic! So we need to fill only 2 hours more for Sunday!!! We all count on you, then... Tx! Regarding music: Please note that songs really does not have to be completely UNKNOWN. We are addressing listeners, not professional jury :) When I say "Forgotten" I mean "great tracks we don't play often". Just switch from No.1 hits to some infamous hits of great artists and it would be enough... Another example: Have you heard recently Mick Jagger - "Just Another Night" on any radio? Well, that is what the idea was ;)
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11684&BoardID=3 Hey Alek, I have a slot 4-6 which I do on a Sunday anyway... (Not auto booked) But I'd be glad to continue the weekend (assuming I can find enough music!) Scuba.

I will not be relaxed until we fill Sunday too... Martyn is "IN", myself too and I have a special "DJ Guest" from Croatia who will do 2-hour prerecorded show to be broadcasted on Sunday 26th. So we have now 6 horus finished, need only 4 hours more to fill! WE NEED 2 DJs MORE! C'mon, who's next? BTW, Tomorrow, Sat, April 20th I will do 2-hour pilot show with Forgotten 80s, you're welcome to warm up & check the atmosphere together :)

On my previous station they are currently employing an old Teddy Boy who LOVES the rockabilly, rock n roll and Doo-Wop niche and where he presents a two hour show once a week. It gets the highest ratings for the station at the moment and you can tell in his voice that he is so excited and happy to play his music. There is definitely a call for it and I wish you well.

Posted by Colin John ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11779&BoardID=3 I've been doing Screams From the Charnel House for years now, but there comes a time when you just want a break. I feel this may be that time, especially now we have numerous other goth/Industiral shows. I am not talking about canning Screams forever, just taking a break for a bit. I am also not talking about ditching the Tuesday night slot, but trying other shows in it for a while. What I would like to do is put Screams on hiatus for about 6 months or so. In that time I would like to use the slot to trial out some other shows. I was thinking of dong them in “seasons” of either 3 or 6 months. One of which that I would like to bring back is “as time Goes by”, a show of music from the 40s and 50s. Another idea would be, to do a season of audio drama in the Tuesday slot as well as the new TFABADS slot. I have access to a lot of detective dramas and sci-fi which would be appropriate for either the Tuesday early evening or the Thursday night into Friday morning slot. Thoughts?
Posted by DJ Ghost ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11778&BoardID=3 Interest. I have a large, interest. I seem to have missed that word int eh above post. Tsk, I realy do type about as well as my cat :/

If I can re-organise my scehdual a little bit to make time to be in the house when it's on, I will do my best to do just that and catch your show.
Posted by DJ Ghost ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11762&BoardID=4 Interviews are an excelent feature. I remember when I was on another station and doing a live "outside broadcast" form the green room of the Cruxshadows gig in Sunderland, durring which I was able to interview both CXS and the support band All Living Fear. The show was a blast to do and was still being raved about over a year later. I think adding interviews to your show will have the same results, it will make what is already a very good show into an unmisbale one, especialy for fans of any band you interview, which, in turn, will almost certianly attract new listners to the show and the station.

Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11766&BoardID=4 Thanks PK, great! What shall we play? We can discuss... It's up to a DJ, I think. Basically my idea was to play forgotten 80s stuff from the point of view of a listener, not from experienced DJ's point of view. I'm personally not attracted to 1-artist shows, but that's only my opinion, I might be wrong... Whatever you decide :) Once again, my idea was to concentrate on songs, not artists. It would be ok to play one-hit-wonders as well as not famous hits of famous artists i.e. Spandau Ballet - "Lifeline" instead of "Gold". Generally speaking, I think that the concept 33/33/33 is the key of success for any DJ and any show :) meaning 33% of well-known songs, 33% second line (forgotten) hits and 33% of unknown tracks for listener education, you know what I mean :) Only, this time we increase the second two categories ;)

I'm approaching my 50th broadcast hour on 'The One' and I've enjoyed every minute of it :) Secondly, I'm expanding The Engineerium in the social media/online arena... I've set up a website here https://theengineerium.wordpress.com/ which includes music reviews, news and interviews related to the shows. And inspired by the great community atmosphere on FB groups like Club 80s and Synthopia, I've set up my own Facebook group here https://www.facebook.com/groups/221553894575648/ (well - actually I've 'rebranded' the FB group I had to cover general DJing activities, but The Engineerium has become my focus now, so it made sense to specialise!) Thirdly and finally, I'm experimenting with the format of The Engineerium slightly and introducing pre-recorded interviews. Tonight will be the first - with Anthony from Masters of The Radio. It'll be airing about 6.15pm tonight :)
Posted by DJ PK ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11766&BoardID=4 Thanks, Alek, that time is great :) I will put it in my diary! Also, just thinking... Would it be OK to focus on just one artist for a show? Or would that break up the 'flow' of the weekender?

The format worked really well without and we don't have too many talk shows, do we? Obviously, it depends on the subject matter but, as it's you presenting it, the show should attract people on a natural basis so, whatever you choose to chat about, should still work without needing music.

Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11684&BoardID=3 It was five years ago this week that a beta version of 1Radio was first unleashed to the world and the doors opened for anyone to sign up and broadcast. It wasnt until July 2008 that the beta tag was removed and the station licensed by PRS/PPL. 1Radio has changed considerably over the time its been operating and tonight, I offer you a Q&A session on 1Radio's first five years and how it all started. If you have a question or comment or just want to know more about this place we know as THE ONE, tonight's your chance to find out.

Posted by DJ PK ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11684&BoardID=3 Great! DJs who confirmed: 1. Will Reid 2. Colin John 3. JP 4. Sean 5. Scuba Steve 6. Westy 7. Ceejay 8. DJ PK 9. Alek It is to be expected that Will, Colin and JP will keep existing slots 8-14 in total. The rest of 14-24 (10 hours) should be split on 6 DJs. If there are more who wants to participate, then we should consider Sunday... Date: I suggest May 18 or 25 or June 1 or 8. I can't do before or after because of my holiday trips... What others think?
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11684&BoardID=3 Great suggestion and comments Alek. Please suggest a date OUTSIDE of the current four week window and I will open that for booking for that Saturday. Let's do one day first. If there's strong demand for Sunday, we can open that later. Thanks tim
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11684&BoardID=3 Thanks to everyone who listened on Sunday eve. I've two hours booked tonight. For tonight, I'm interested to know your preference. Talk or music or both? For those who checked out the two talk shows so far, do you like the Qs to be revealed in advance or you prefer to discover them in the show? Would you prefer no prepared Qs at all and it be completely random? I'd appreciate a bit of feedback to see how you'd like this show to develop, if at all! Please post below. All feedback welcome. Thanks Tim
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11727&BoardID=4 That's 9 DJs for now... = 18 hours Tim, what do you suggest about schedule? I think it's reasonable to have a Saturday 8-24 and if possible to fill Sunday 10-20, or to stay only with Saturday? Maybe some DJs can do both days? I could. During the night, you can play replays with 8 hours delay for Aussies ;) About music: My idea was to concentrate on SONGS, not ARTISTS, so it is ok to play "forgotten" track by UB40 "Tyler", but avoid "Red Red Wine" etc... This should not be a DJ competition in finding 80s tracks that nobody ever heard. It's just about reminding people on a great songs haven't played recently. We should look at this from listener's point of view! Rod Stewart? Yes, but let's play "Infatuation" instead of "Baby Jane", one-hit-wonders are welcome. And even if somebody thinks that it's ok to play Billie Jean, then it's OK, I think, if it is not a majority... Let it be... Let's have fun and not make formal borders.
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11684&BoardID=3 What I had in mind was running season 1 later in this quarter, and having 1 episode of it and one self-contained drama each show for 9 weeks, then leaving season 2 till later in the year, probably the end of the year/into the new year. Alternatively, I could wait and play season 1 in the winter – since season 1 takes place in the winter. There is also a book of the story, which is rather good too :)
Posted by DJ Ghost ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11700&BoardID=4 On a related note, I have just received a message form the team behind the excellent 1:18 Migration, confirming that they are giving me permission to air their series on the show. I am hugely excited about this, as it is the 3rd major, contemporary, radio drama group to agree to let us air their work. A little background for you; 1:18 Migration is a serial, there are 9 episodes per season with 2 seasons currently completed and a 3rd one under production now. It is a post apocalyptic story about a survivor named Jonas Wade and a small band of other characters living in a world where the dead are returning to life.

I'll ease back into the schedule with a show at 5PM (11PM UK) Saturday evening.

Now as a reminder, PT's Really Big Show format is a hit music all request,top 40,countdown show..... Oh wait what was I thinking. I'll be taking all of your requests and passing them along to the real DJ's since I don't even have a playlist. It's 1Radio's cheapest time slot on the schedule and it's low production costs are obvious with each and every show.

Posted by PT ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11708&BoardID=3 I don't really see the point in people "leaving one radio". I have loads of "projects" but as I want to find time for 1Radio I do. Sure, in the past I disappeared during exam periods at uni etc. But I would come back. In my opinion it would be sensible for you to stay but cut back the amount of shows you do. If you're serious about developing your skills as a radio presenter there are no Internet stations like this for doing that. Your shows where really getting somewhere here. any hoo, good luck!
Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11692&BoardID=3 awsome, I really enjoyed what I heard on the first show. It's great to hear them talk on the one at last!

Posted by Espy ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11702&BoardID=4 It would be a good 11pm filler when Tim can't make those slots instead of music. That would be 5 or 6pm in some US states. Anything that brings in new listeners has to be good. Oddly enough I have always thought this show would be better later in the evening. School kids shouldn't be listening either, they could have nightmares and miss school through lack of sleep lol. Give it a go for a month or so and see how it rates.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11700&BoardID=4 This sounds a great idea. I've certainly gotten into supernatural and chilling dramas since hearing your shows. Hearing this play out overnight would be great.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11700&BoardID=4 Thanks to everyone who tuned into my new overnight talk show on Friday night. Whilst a nice crowd of people showed up at midnight, I had a few tech problems and couldnt make it on the air for the first 30 mins. Consequently, some had gone by the time I eventually got my act together. To those that hung on in there, we eventually got some interesting conversation going with a few of the 1R regulars joining me on Skype. The show lasted over 2 hours, all without a hint of music! I'm back on at 10pm tonight, and will be awaiting your views on such diverse topics as - 80 years of the Loch Ness Monster - Accident near misses - Things you've lost or had stolen and have never gotten over losing If you'd like to join in, I'll be taking calls at CALL1RADIO on Skype. Post below if you'd like to suggest an additional topic for discussion.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11702&BoardID=4 Also, on a related note, I'm half cosnidering nocking Screams From The Charnel House on the head on a Tuesday, we have a number of other Goth/Industrial DJs here now anyway and, I have been doing SFTCH for about 6 years on various stations. This could give me more time to concentrate on TFBADS. Again, any thoughts form the rest of the 1R team would be very welcome.
Posted by DJ Ghost ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11700&BoardID=4 I was broadcasting the overnight recruitment imaging durring one of my shows the other night when it hit me. Why don't I take one of the late night slots? I'm self employed, make my own hours and typiclay stay up most ofhte night and sleep late in teh mornings anyway, besides, surely, supernaturla drama is best heard in the depths of hte night, right? Now when I brought the idea of moving Tales From Beyond A Darkened Sky to the late night slot, it met with mixed response. A lot of people massivly keen on it, and a few who said they couldn't tune in late "on a school night". However, I've had a number of US based people comment in teh past that they would love to tune in, but my current time slot is far too early for them, as they are still at work (as it is around 2pm in parts of the USA). So, what to do? currently I'm thinking of doing an overnight version ofhte show, and the 7pm Thursday slot as well, since currently I only have 2 shows, both of 1 hour in length. Thoughts?

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11692&BoardID=3 After my show on Thursday, I will no longer be presenting on 1Radio. This is because I've set up a community radio station and will be refocusing on other projects. It's been a difficult decision but obviously it's been a case of a balancing act. So, thank you everybody!
Posted by Kieran Lewis ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11692&BoardID=3 Hi Alek Thanks for the suggestion. I support the idea of course! We've done these themed events (weekenders, as we called them) in the past but have struggled to get enough presenters interested the last few times we did it. But, I'm happy to run with the idea and help promote it. I do think it should be fairly focussed - eg just the 80s. If its too broad, it looses its significance and speciality. It becomes just another show with people interpreting the theme quite loosely and becomes watered down. Do people have a preferred date? Thanks for the suggestion Tim
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11684&BoardID=3 What started as someone describing a new show idea has morphed into something of a public slanging match. To see this spill over into twitter is disappointing also. From here on, can we keep the forum a positive, helpful and constructive space please - bearing in mind particularly, that it's a FORUM and therefore open to all. I propose to close this post. The topic of a space in which to talk constructively about 1R and what is public/private needs more attention. We'll continue this in another post. Thanks Tim
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11639&BoardID=3 Thanks for feedback. I would love to hear Tim's opinion and decision "yes" or "no". If yes, let's decide about the date and start & end hour. I suggest May 18th to have enough time to prepare and advertise. Ceejay, 70s and 90s are great, but, as Rhodders said, we should keep the subject focused in order to make a sense of the event. We could do it with 70s or 90s next time, or as a "custom decade" like Espy suggested on shoutbox. I will try to make a 2-hour slot on April 20th as a "pilot teaser" to show my idea in action, ok? Let's have fun!
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11684&BoardID=3 I think keeping it to one decade makes it more of an event. I hope to take part Its about time we had a weekender :)
Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11684&BoardID=3 Sounds a good idea but couldn't we expand it a little and have a forgotten hit's from more than just the 80's? Say 70''s to 90's. Just an idea that would give more presenters a chance to participate.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11684&BoardID=3 Thanks for your creativity, Alek. Just a normal show for me then. If I am available, I will gladly participate :)
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11684&BoardID=3 Tonight, during Eddie's show we talked on shoutbox about various ideas. So mine was to make an action with 1R and organize "Forgotten 80s Weekend"... What do you think? Would anybody want to join? It would not change existing shows much in scheduling terms... JP, Will and Colin could do it each of them ih his own style, I would play forgotten pop and dance artist in the evening... The idea is not to play No.1 hits by Alphaville, Van Halen and Eurythmics... Insted to play some their "secong line" hits or great almost forgotten artists like: Blue Zoo, Sisters of Mercy, Matt Bianco, Captain Sensible, some "one-hit-wonders"... And the main point is to use this to advertise 1R accross social networks... Any ideas? Date? May 18th? Any other???
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11684&BoardID=3 The most important thing is to install your software on a computer (or partition) which is exclusive for broadcasting, ie, not used for anything else. Other programmes working in the background can take away memory that is being used when you're live on air and cause stuttering, freezes, crashes etc.. I re-boot to Windows 7 with minimal other software on it and SAM has been totally reliable. Martyn
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11674&BoardID=6 I use the Internal encoder. I've used it on all Windows platforms from Win2000 to Windows 7. I do find XP to be the most stable version and use a very old Toshiba laptop my nephew gave me a few years ago. That computer is only used for broadcasting so maybe that is why I have so few issues.

Posted by DJ Aaron ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11674&BoardID=6 I can't praise Virtual DJ enough. I've used 5.2 for almost 4 years and it has only crashed once in that time. It can lock for up to 2 / 3 minutes when the hard-drive is doing something which is great at the start of a song but can leave you having to find something to chat about if it does it near the end!! Doesn't happen that often. It uses an XML database which isn't great but does work 95% of the time. The free RadioDJ is also very good. but I don't like having to wait 3 weeks for it to load the database.

Posted by Sean ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11674&BoardID=6 Just to back up what Kieran has said: can we all remember that these forums are public and any Internet user can see them. It doesn't look very good if the forums are continually filled with 1Radio presenters squabbling and arguing. While I am happy to see show announcements on the forums I feel that criticism (constructive or not) be done in a private message to those concerned. Now go make radio! JS

Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11639&BoardID=3 In the words of Simon Cowell "Guys, guys, GUYS!" "So many ideas, Ian, so many shows"- is exactly what we need to keep this place vibrant. I commend Ian for his creativity and sense of fun. 1Radio should be regarded as a radio sandpits, a Haven of creative freedom. Not every idea is going to work. If you stick to tried and tested stuff things become boring. There is a fine line between constructive and unconstructive criticism. I consider some of these comments to be crossing that line. 1. Complaining about Westy filling slots is counterintuitive. I would rather listen to Westy then an Auto DJ. If it bothered me that much I would do the slot myself. I'm always pleased to see Westy fill unwanted slots 2. Making remarks about figures is also mean and unnecessary. Under that logic Idle Talk show be binned. Occasionally it fares well but it usually attracts a small audience. Internet radio is about " niche" not mass appeal.

The quiz on Saturdays is mostly your family and other 1Radio DJ's / Presenters. If you look at the stats not one of those many shows has made the Top 20 most listened to shows. Had you concentrated on just the three shows then you may have built up a good listener base but I wonder how many switch off when they see you are on again! On you show page it's the same information for every show. The show titles are different but the description is the same for Hit Mix, the Movie music show & Indie Selection. Will's shows are top of everything because he promotes, has time to research and is consistent. His listeners come back week after week and I wish I could find a winning formula like that. Once again we offer help and advice and you throw it back at us.

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11633&BoardID=4 There is nothing wrong with keeping things fresh :), and there is also nothing wrong with doing more then one show either. But i think what will is trying to say is give it some time to see if it works and don't switch to something else if it doesnt work the first time!! Dont forget this is "intenet Radio" there are much much more to choose from and people switch very fast and easy ps as for the picture on the FB page try to find a box with nothing on it ,or a logo of the quiz it can be a bit confusing maybe.

Posted by Eddie ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11639&BoardID=3 @will you say so many ideas so many shows....let me just say that i have 3 shows on 1Radio 1)The Hit Mix Show (which has the big quiz and now whats in the box game) 2)The movie music Show (need not say whats in this show) 3)The Indie & Rock Selection (again no need to say) So really is that too many shows !!! plus you seem to be the only one who constructively gives this criticism. so on your constructive criticism your saying that i should do one show and that's it.!!? I know you do one show but i like to spread my wings a bit and keep it fresh and new even though these shows have been running for a good while now. Lets leave it there.!!
Posted by DJWesty ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11639&BoardID=3 all the rules are on the facebook link as i said in the post...In my show im asking people to guess the contents of the box and no ceejay its not a phone as i said again on the facebook page for it. Im fed up of this Quality over Quantity thing ...i do a variety show and in the hit mix show which is the only variety show i do (The Movie Music Show & The indie & Rock Selection) ive got two things running ie The Big Quiz which Ive had really good feedback from and never had a week where the contestant didn't show and its been running for 13 weeks and now the game WHATS IN THE BOX,. Its just a way of giving out a small prize to the winner. The amount of shows i do isn't really the issue here its just people picking faults on a well received format that i have for the Hit Mix Show and if you had listened to my show last saturday you would have heard the rules and that its not a phone in the box just a pic to give you an idea of what size box it is ect.

Posted by Kieran Lewis ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11633&BoardID=4 I feel I've probably blown this out of proportion a bit. So, firstly I apologise for my rash comments last night. I'll clarify that although I didn't broadcast it in the intended slot, instead changing it the week before to a music show, I did attempt a talk show later on that day and it went quite well. I take your point that I should've prepared a contingency plan but I still managed to broadcast a show although it was music. From this, I now know that any content submission would've been unlikely so I can tweak the format to reflect this. I've re-read through the comments and understood what you mean and realise that I did over-exaggerate. The next talk show I present will use the format I used on the 31st March 11pm broadcast which managed to work around no submissions. Thank you all.

Kieran maybe should have built in a contingency for the event of no one submitting their bit, but that is a matter of a lesson learned - he knows that *now* and won't make the same mistake again, so time to let it lie and back him to the hilt I think.

Tease the listener, leave them wanting more........strive for quality over quantity. Like Ceejay, I have no idea what this really is?? And before anyone suggests this is criticism, it is not. It's honest feedback. If anyone puts an idea to a forum, expect it to be complimented, encouraged, challenged.......

Posted by DJWesty ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11639&BoardID=3 I think this is all getting a bit unfair. I don't see what the problem is. No one sent Kieren any content so when he changed the format is no one's effort was wasted. Even if they had Kieren could have simply used it at a later date. All Kieren did was change the format last minute to music as he didn't feel prepared to do a talk show. I am also guilty of doing this. It's not ideal but it's far better to do this and do something when you're not up to it. We should be being supportive here. Kieren is being very brave by trying something totally new. Not many people here are willing or able to take that risk. I know how hard it is to produce a talk show. Idle Talk can be a real struggle sometimes. I listened to the first Talkative and found it engaging, interesting and an all-round great first attempt at talk radio. Keep it up Kieren, I'm sure if you keep at it Talkative will be a great show. I will be as supportive of Talkative as the 1R members have of my new Idle Talk show.

Posted by Kieran Lewis ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11498&BoardID=3 Sorry but I'm with CJ and Will, if your going to go with a show on which you rely on others to provide content you should always 'prep' for failure and to showcase what your asking people to 'buy into'... people are always wary of new projects and want to know what is required and how they can fit in... the unknown is always dark territory.... Chat works in the right situation and you need to show just what that is before people will engage... I admit that 'chat' is one of the most difficult areas to produce a programme, in TV we would always have to ensure we had enough material to 'pad' so that we didn't have 'dead spots'.... I'd rethink the format and try again.... 'Build & They Will Come' doesn't work in broadcasting, especially Internet Radio.

Smoak and mode101UK, those 2 are big on their gothic/underground/industrial music too, which is again something 1Radio lacks. So they also add to the station variety. Especially when compared to generic shows like mine (my show doesn't add anything new to the station, nor does anyone else who just does a generic show). However people like Will, Colin John, Ceejay, etc, all add something to the station. Just my take.

Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11625&BoardID=3 thanks for the suggestions adam. nights are not a priority at the moment so i shall leave 1RR as is for now. its doing well enough. any new presenters who join will need to be aware that UK daytimes and eves are the focus for now. if/when the days and eves are busier and there is demand for additional slots, we can then cut back on 1RR. i love the idea of a generic 1R promo. anyone who wants to create something can do so and i'll schedule them to play between shows. thanks
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11606&BoardID=3 Given that we're opening up to new recruits that could be from anywhere in the world, is it worth giving 1RR a break for one night during the weekend, like Friday Night/Saturday Morning? it's the night with the smallest gap between the last DJ on Friday (i.e. Espy/Lady T) and the first DJ on Saturday (I.e Me), which means there will be a very limited chance of Otto and american's a chance to broadcast/promote 1Radio on a Friday night their time. Also, would it be worth creating a sort of 30 minute promo for 1RR introducing 1Radio as well? A sort of "Welcome to 1Radio, this is what we do, this is what we play, would you like to join us?" As many of us have said, people are listening, and maybe thinking "Perhaps I could give that a go as well?" Just a couple of thoughts/ideas there....

Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11611&BoardID=4 Clarification on a coupe of points. 1RR is the overnight service from midnight to midday or thereabouts when shows are played sequentially. Outside of those hours, if a slot is empty, it's filled by Otto. This is effectively 1RR tho the show being replayed changes each hour. Originally, we did have a fixed schedule on 1RR with specific shows on specific days. Unfortunately, some presenters only contribute shows sporadically and not each week as we previously agreed. This means its a bigger manual task on me to reorganise the schedule depending on who uploads their shows each week. I'm simply not able to do that each week. Therefore 1RR is now completely random. Same with Otto. One last point. 1RR has been extended to weekends too. I previously left this free as some American presenters wanted to broadcast overnight at weekends. As this never really happened, 1RR now runs each night including weekends. Hope that helps.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11606&BoardID=3 Gaz, 1R is now recruiting for new DJs because you're leaving. Hopefully they can fill your old slot but it will never be the same, of course :-) Wishing you all the best in what you're aiming for. You are one, for certain, who will achieve your goals.
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11573&BoardID=3 Welcome to 1R again, folks. I listened to LadyT a few days ago ... most impressed.

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11611&BoardID=4 Welcome back boys and girl :)
Posted by Eddie ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11611&BoardID=4 @ Martyn, I hear you promoting your show and many other shows whilst you are on air, and you do it more than most. You are to be commended for that. In some respects though, you are preaching to the converted as they are already listening and are maybe (hopefully) catching other shows. But I'm talking about getting at a new market, and new DJ's - ask Alek how he found 1Radio! Not by listening to the station! I got a message on fb from a guy asking about 1RR's content today, saying he was really enjoying it (the show was Colin John's 80s) The guy is not a known listener to Club 80s, nor a friend of mine. The point I'm making is that people do listen, do notice marketing and just maybe pick up on it. In this instance he did and has done so for some time. The listeners and DJ's are there, we just need to be better at finding them :)
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11606&BoardID=3 Will, Otto still shows up fairly often, I notice but, yes, I was referring to 'empty slots' and not 1R replays which, I agree, are often great to listen to. But the listeners don't know when their favourite show is going to be replayed for certain so it isn't as good as you say it is … more pot luck, in fact. If they def knew when a certain show was going to be replayed, then yes, that can be better than the same DJ going out all the time. I am constantly promoting my shows and, at the same time, 1Radio.org (plus other DJs shows, more often than not) but, I must admit, I don't promote the fact that we are taking on DJs as, recently, 1R did stop recruiting for a while. I have asked personal friends who I know are or have been presenters on other stations, if they'd like to come across to The 1 but no luck so far. I like the idea of asking all current DJs to give the recruitment of DJs a push as, if everyone has a go at it, then that's a lot of advertising that could benefit us.
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11606&BoardID=3 I was under the impression 1RR had pretty much replaced "Otto" and so I don't think on every occasion "live shows beats empty slots hands down", because there are shows on 1Radio I won't listen to, but I would happily hear my favourites again and again :) If the shoutbox is used correctly and the content of show is decent, of course a live show will surpass 1RR, but that is not always the case. I would rather hear the variety that is 1RR than hear the same person all the time. We have a fantastic set-up here, and we should be in a position to easily recommend it to like minded people. How many of us actively market 1Radio, our own and other shows, and do it regularly? Do we just wish for the best in listening numbers? Many do in my opinion. I like Alek's idea, however my knowledge on the way to do this is not good enough to take it forward. Maybe someone can take this on as a project?
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11606&BoardID=3 Welcome back to 1Radio guys. Cya in the shoutbox again soon!
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11611&BoardID=4 I would suggest an ACTION :) We need a banner in suitable dimensions for facebook and to spread it over musical facebook groups informing audience that a DJ audition is ongoing. People like that "gaming effect" and competition. This should be organized well, not to spam all around but to be clever and choose targets well. I am sure it will affect in increase of listeners number as well. We should do this all the time on monthly basis for example! Once per month postng a banner in some friendly facebook group. Avoiding spamming all around of course. I could cover let's say 10 friendly groups. What do you think?
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11606&BoardID=3 @Martyn, if someone has a regular 3 hour show(s) then that isn't an issue. The main reason we were limited to 2 hours per day was to give everyone a chance to do a show when we had many DJ / Presenters. Even doing a takeover on empty slots has always been a good thing but it seems some DJ's book every available empty slot without giving others a chance. Some ask moderators to extend their slot and as long as Moderators wait until around 8 minutes before the end of a show before handing it to the current DJ that works fine particularly if the show has good listener figures. Perhaps the real answer is to get the dormant DJ's to try and do more shows.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11606&BoardID=3 and on that note, auditions are once again open. as stated previously, direct applications will be accepted from people already known to existing presenters. all other applications will be received via the usual route and passed by the audition team for their personal view.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11606&BoardID=3 I must agree, live shows beats empty slots hands down. I do see Ceejay's point about, every time a person tunes in and it's the same DJ doing their thing, it can give the impression that we are low on DJs, however point taken about anything is better than empty slots and if somebody is willing to get the time to fill in, yes, that can only be a good thing. We've got a lot of hours to fill, after all. Of course, DJs are only allowed a maximum of 2 hours for each slot so this will create empty slots for those who could have possibly presented a 3 hour show. The reason for limiting a DJ to two hours could be because of the reasons Ceejay was getting at, too much of the same thing each time, could put some listeners off. It's all about balance. Having brand new DJs join us would be the ultimate answer, I agree. Martyn
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11606&BoardID=3 Please join me in welcoming back some old friends to 1Radio. *drumroll* I give you Smoak, Mode101UK and our very own Lady T - who cut her broadcasting teeth right here on 1Radio. All three have been away doing other things but are now back in the fold, where they truly belong lol :) Welcome back! It's good to see (and hear) you...
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11611&BoardID=4 First off - lets not be negative towards anyone doing slots on 1R, no matter how many slots they do per week. Its great that there is enthusiasm and willingness to takeover slots when they run empty. Don't forget, slots are empty because no one has chosen to book them. Anyone coming in afterwards to do a takeover is simply taking a space no one else wanted. So, I think we have to be grateful for that. Having said that, we do need new blood on the station to help fill the gaps, particularly in daytimes and some eves. So, first preference will be given to people who have been personally recommended by an existing DJ who can vouch that the person is competent, confident and has the right tech set up. There will not be a formal audition process for them but we will need assurance that they've done a test broadcast and all is well. So... please contact me if you have someone you want to suggest as a new presenter on the 1.

Once you are satisfied that their quality is up to scratch simply let Tim know of their interest and he'll take it from there. I have given Eddie and Rhodders access to the server at the moment so if I'm not available I am sure they would be happy enough to start / stop the server for you if you give plenty of notice. Some DJ's / Presenters are filling in many empty slots and I personally believe this reflects poorly on the station when the same people are on most of the time. We don't really want to go back to the open house system where just about anyone can join, that leads to many Human Robots just playing back to back music which tends to drive listeners away.

Don't be upset, you're not a DJ on 1Radio until you've had the CeeJay treatment ... he doesn't mean to upset anyone, it's just he speaks his mind. We all appreciate your hard work but, as with anyone's show on here, it's sometimes difficult to get a reaction to pleas for support. We should be asking listeners to join us and not just the other DJs as they are all very busy and have already given up tons of time to plan and do their shows. I do my best to support the other DJs by simply tuning in but, with my work, I simply can't tune in to everyone all the time. Keep up the enthusiasm and drive as it does pay off in the end. DJ Martyn

So, feel free to book these slots and bring fun on 1R :) I will book the slots when I am sure I will broadcast, Apr-13 and Apr-27 I can't do for sure, but will try to book Apr-20. But, who books first he/she goes live ;) Cheers... Alek
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11584&BoardID=3 Overnight, 1RReplay shows play back to back according to a schedule. So there is no break in shows. For the rest of the time during the day, if there is no live show, a random show is played out and so you will get something different at the top of each hour. This is a consequence of the system waiting to see if someone will take over the slot.

Posted by DJWesty ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11582&BoardID=3 I've noticed something a bit strange with the 1RR. It seems that at the top of the hour, it will sometimes start playing a show and then at about a min or so past the hour a it will start playing a different show. It's a bit annoying as just as your settling down to listen to something it isn't changes it! I'm not sure if anything can be done about this or even why it happens.

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11573&BoardID=3 It is with a heavy heart that I announce that I will no longer have a weekly show on 1Radio. As many of you know, I am studying Radio Production at college, and hope to go to Uni after the summer, I have also been producing podcasts for Youth Football Scotland, which was to originally run for 6 months, however they want me to stay on and become head of production, the production team I will have will produce 8 programmes and podcasts a week. This combined with study and family time means I can no longer commit to weekly shows on 1Radio. Therefore my autobooking is now available for anyone who would like 10-midnight on a Wed night straight after JP. I will continue my weekly shows till 17th April. I hope to still make the odd appearance on 1Radio from time to time, but officially April 17th will be my final show, I would be honoured if you could join me then.

Posted by Kieran Lewis ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11560&BoardID=3 I noticed a few people use Virgin Media and have had issues with it. I use mine in Modem only mode and run everything from a router wired up in my room. On two occasions now the Internet stopped for no apparent reason, luckily not while I was broadcasting. This last time I thought they where having issues having noticed the hub lights had gone to green, and the blue one was off. I turned it off and back on again but still no blue light so I simply pressed the reset button on the back and it reset fine. I have found that in all cases where my Internet has gone off the Hub seems to reset itself or develops an error and a simple restart or reset does the trick. This should always be tried before calling out an engineer. Just thought I'd share that with you in case any Virgin Media users had issues again.

Tanks to Aaron for kindly allowing me to swap with him. It should be an interesting show so please tune in. THE TOPIC: Vagueness This week we force ourselves to think before we speak as we delve into the philosophy of language and examine the problem of vagueness. An example of a phrase that is vague in the philosophical sense could be “If you cut one head off of a two headed man, have you decapitated him?” It is vague because it involves borderline cases. We will examine why vagueness is a genuine practical problem. We shall also be examining vagueness in greater depth by discussing the sorites paradox with Joshua Matthews, philosophy undergraduate and president of the philosophy Society at the University of Reading.

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11476&BoardID=3 Hi team, I'm putting together the next issue of the 1Radio newsletter. If you have any news, articles or any contributions, do send it in asap. Last month we had two contributions from DJs and it made the newsletter a much more interesting read so, if anyone can support the newsletter with anything at all, please send something in over the next few days. If you can write something on a monthly basis, that would be even better. It doesn't need to be long or perfect grammar, just something from you that will add to the variety of topics on offer for people to read. Thanks in advance, DJ Martyn

Posted by Hyperjase ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11461&BoardID=6 As far as I know, the only condition that would trigger an automatic cancellation of a presenter's booked slots would be in the case of a no-show ban. Under that scenario, a presenter is barred from broadcasting for a set number of days (see the rules for specific penalties) and consequently any booked slots that happen to fall within the time frame of the ban are automatically forfeited.

The show 2 years ago really was magnificently produced and I would ask Tim to make it available to listen to again :) On the ego, don't confuse ego with arrogance. An ego is and should be used as a motivational and inspirational tool :)
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11346&BoardID=7 If people are concerned about others getting their mates to vote etc etc couldn't we make it so that only 1Radio DJs could cast a vote?

Posted by DJ PK ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11346&BoardID=7 Ok I was not thinking like the one we had last time that would take a lot of time to set up and Tim is a busy guy. A simple vote for ie Best new comer best pop show best rock show and maybe some funny ones and on the closing date a list of the winners if you would get people to vote that dont listen to your show as Ceejay was talking people might then that just shows how much convince you have in there shows. There is also something I have seen in the stats a Max rating for any show maybe that come make a come back.

Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11346&BoardID=7 I don't think that the 'awards' would be for our benefit ... that's just a pantomime, but the audience love awards shows, like it or not, they lap them up. That's what would be entertaining. I think every DJ deserves an award for giving up their time and making the effort to actually do the show each week. I bet such a show would attract a good healthy audience but it takes a lot of work to produce such a show, as Ceejay and Colin have rightly said. Martyn

Posted by Colin John ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11346&BoardID=7 The last awards were just a bit of fun. Tim made a special show, this may still be available to listen to, for the ceremony. If you just have a vote then someone with college / school friends can simply get them to vote and not even listen to any shows. Lets concentrate on producing good quality shows and forget ego boosting awards!!
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11346&BoardID=7 Perhaps it shouldn't be up to Tim but a poll for each category?

Posted by DJ Ghost ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11346&BoardID=7 bots or stream rippers are programs that record the audio stream direct from shoutcast. depending on their sophistication, they use the metadata sent from shoutcast and gaps in the audio to detect where one song finishes and the next begins and to create ID3 tags. often, people use rippers to record a show for later listening. single incidences of stream ripping can be tricky to detect. others might use rippers to just collect music of a particular genre etc. occasionally, a raft of stream rippers are deployed to harvest music in bulk. these can often be easy to detect as they might use the same IP, or pretend to be the same listening device (such as a nokia mobile or apple tv etc). this activity is sometimes used as a quick means to build up an MP3 library. the tracks are not of great quality and might be used on cheap paid for music sites just to build a catalogue. i check for rippers only occasionally. you may find your listening numbers have decreased after this process.

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11425&BoardID=3 Don't like to pee on your bonfire Rhodders but a few of us have been hit with Listener bots so there is a good chance they weren't real listeners. If the numbers progressed slowly then there is a chance they are genuine but if they jumped from say 15 to 53 in a few seconds then they are more than likely Bots.

Of course, everyone's needs differ. As I use Windows Phone and Windows 8, SkyDrive is my logical choice (I actually recently purchased an extra 20GB storage space). I know everyone's experiences differ though, which is fine. In actual fact, iCloud comes across as clunky to me.

If you register for a new Box account using this link, you'll get 50GB of free space for life (that's double the usual allotment of 25GB) https://www.box.com/signup/o/dell_50gb_give_get Alternatively, if you've heard all the positive buzz going around about Dropbox (about a dozen 1R presenters/listeners use it...maybe more) and you're finally ready to dive in, registering for a new account using this link will award your new account with added storage space http://db.tt/3B9q3f3 Now, go forth and sync! :-bd

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11399&BoardID=8 I must say I do miss not having the ability to change my autobooking but still 1Radio is better than any other internet radio station I've been on. Alek very true we all love some new shiny modern software features, But as the saying goes If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I love the 1Radio set up so much that I have been looking to start my own local online radio station on and off for some years and when I get it on air I will be looking to use the same set up as 1Radio as its very open for presenters.
Posted by Sean ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11388&BoardID=3 Colin, totally agree with you! Commitment to 1R is very important, this was only a thought from me, I always like some new shiny modern software features, but to be honest, 1R is already great from this point, that was one of the reasons why I joined ;)
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11388&BoardID=3 I appreciate the new Autobooking rules could be deemed to be 'strict', but then as we all know to our cost, leniency has led at times to a less than comitted approach to 1Radio, and let's be honest here, we should be broadcasting for the 'Station' and not our 'ego's' and this rigour is nothing more than wanting us to commit so that when we can't do a show we get 'cover' the slot so that the station sounds as professional as possible. Alek understand your reasoning, but please there are some 'old geezers' like me that can't even handle the shoutbox or Facebook so a Google Calender would just drive me mad.... Oh and I'm colour blind too.... so I'd probably end up booking slots that aren't there. Seriously though Autobooking has hepled to firm up the schedules and lets be honest we needed to....... didn't we?

I try to publish the newsletter at the same time each month but 'daytime job' sometimes prevents this happening so, anything you have for inclusion, just email me the details before Wednesday 12pm (GMT) and I'll get it out there. Thank you to those who have contributed something but please do keep sending in any itmes you feel may create interest.

I have a 'Backup' laptop, just in case but keep forgetting to update the music each time. I would certainly have to re-produce the shows as the playlist would be out of date. A timely reminder to us all to backup our systems.

I'll put it in the newsletter. Any kind of promotion that we can pass on 'ready-made' must be a huge plus for 1Radio.org and it's respective DJ's shows. Full marks for innovation DJ Westy!
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11380&BoardID=3 Quite agree with this, Ceejay... Funny thing, I have to travel to Barcelona in last week of February, planned to stay for a whole week, but decided to come back before my Saturday show. Yes, I could ask for a slot exchange, but didn't want to complicate with it... Maybe some integration with Google Calendar would be an idea where anyone can control slots better and easier communicate with others, give comments on booked slots. For example, there are slots which I consider as "GREEN" meaning, I WILL do them for sure, others are "YELLOW" - I will make them, but can exchange if somebody else want them, and minority could be "RED" meaning I will do them, but would be more than happy to exchange them with someone... I do only 1-hour per week, so my opinion is of course not important, just an idea for others to talk about...
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11388&BoardID=3 Like this, Westy, thanks! Just a tiny mistake in Mac's timeslot... Any promotion is good, this is a short info, all at one place for facebook fans ;)
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11380&BoardID=3 Where I fully support the new rules on unbooking shows, I do wish we could have some control over autobooking. There may be instances where we want to plan a break and therefore would disable autobooking or delete the slots we can no longer support. On the other side we may want to try some new, available, slots to see if we can build an audience. I would like to see this reinstated, it would save Tim some work.

Posted by Adam ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11383&BoardID=4 Hey Guys, So unfortunately, my computer would fail to start this morning, resulting in a no-show, and even after that, it still wouldn't play ball. I took it down to my PC store to say that it's hard drive had come to the end of its life, and would need to be taken away to be repaired. The good news is that it won't cost me a penny and it will be like a brand new laptop, but will mean I'm out of action of at least a couple of weeks whilst they repair it, if not longer as they turn it back to factory settings, meaning I lose all my programs.

Posted by Skerat ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11302&BoardID=3 Guys numbers are good, when you consider the competition out there is massive. Right now 1radio has just moved into a more robust phase, it had a little hiccup last year and that really hurt it for a bit. From where I'm looking 1radio has suddenly got a very strong lineup very quickly and is in a growth phase. The good DJ's stuck out the hiccup and now we have attracted some really good additions to the team. I do believe the numbers will grow with our collective strength and promotion.

Posted by DJ Weaver ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11367&BoardID=3 ... CONTINUED FROM ABOVE (AS PROMISED :-) ) If 1R took advertising we'd have to all fall over ourselves to bring in listeners but, fortunately that isn't the case. 1R isn't a commercial venture and it can't really 'earn' any money from it's current output as it's a 'dot org' site helping those who want to be DJs and presenters and so improve their quality and experience. I, personally, get weeks when I can tune in to nearly every show but other weeks when I hardly get chance to present my own. The choice online with Internet Radio is MASSIVE and so to get around 20 on average, listener-wise is some achievement, to say the least. I get more annoyed at the limited amount of text you can enter into this box than anything else, but that's another story.
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11348&BoardID=4 If listener figures weren't important Tim wouldn't have them displayed in all their glory in chart form like with 'Most Listened To DJs'. Of course it's important, BUT you mustn't let it get you down when the figures are crap. Time of day, the fact that your family and friends have all gone out for the night, other DJs not tuning in like they often do etc. etc. can all go towards a downturn. I enjoyed the stats we used to have last year, they all seem to have disappeared now as they aren't so appropriate but 'most listened to' will still get the adrenalin going after a show. 1RR getting more listeners than the original show isn't a bad thing going against other DJs … for example, the DJ had to present the show in the first place and may have gotten 9 listeners. His or her replay may get 13 listeners but, without the first LIVE show, the 1RR wouldn't have been possible and so proving that it's a bonus to get a show out twice or more. CONTINUED BELOW ....

Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11361&BoardID=4 There could be all sorts of reasons why the 1RR service gets more listenres than some live shows. time of day, shiney new service syndrome, "Ah man I missed so and so last night - when is his/her show repeated?" and so on. On the topic of promotion, I think promition is a never ending struggle. I don't alwyas get time to do my facebook event for my shows, and I notice that when I don't, listner figures drop, this despite the fat I've been on the same time on the same day since I came back to 1radio over a year ago. Now you would think that this would mean people would be used to my time slot by now, and some certianly are, don't get me wrong, but I do see a slihgt downturn on days I've not had a facebook page up. I also see an upswing for a couple of weeks after a Whitby Goth Weekend/Bram Stoker Film Festival when I give out boatloads of fliers

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11266&BoardID=3 Why do we all broadcast here? For pleasure or for result? I think for pleasure... From that point of view, nothing more matters, nor numbers, nor listeners... Now philosophical question :) What is pleasure? Making a good show without much listeners? I think not. What is the measure for quality? Personal opinion? I think not. Radio deejaying or deejaying in general is much more than a personal opinion and self-pleasure, even if it is a pure hobby. Every DJ needs listeners i.e. followers!!! Only having that we can be satisfied. Good shows without listeners are pointless, let's be honest to ourselves. Why do people listen to particular shows? I think because they RESPECT the DJ. Even average shows of respected DJs will be much more listened than perfect shows of deejays who did nothing about self marketing outside of radio/club. Promoting can be hard as hell and easy like "sunday morning" :) At the end, having (15)20+ listeners I think is successful job for web radio!

Posted by DJ PK ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11346&BoardID=7 (but then again its only a may) or that the show is on at the wrong time, for instance I do my show 10pm till midnight but if I was to do it say 2 hours earlier there is a greater chance of higher numbers simply because people don't need to go to bed as early for work etc. Numbers dont really count (Can't believe I said that after 3 years of thinking they do lol) we should simply be happy we have a platform to perform on and just work on getting better each time and enjoying the chance we have. One last thing about the listener numbers, its quality over quantity, will has a good quantity and a decent enough quality of listener who tune into some other 1Radio shows, but at end of the day they will tune into shows that has content that will suit them, dance fans wont really tune into Rock or Country and vise versa....
Posted by Gaz Evans ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11348&BoardID=4 Goes to show as well that the numbers are there during the day, even if the presenters struggled to do the daytime slots... Again there are many reasons to why and when people will listen, at the end of the day some are in the mood to listen, some not, internet radio is available and we could have chris moyles doing a show every day and I think he would struggle to get 20-30 listeners on a regular basis. Its for this reason that I no longer go by the numbers now, i used to beat myself up if my numbers were poor, the way I see it now is that if people want to hear the show they will, if they dont they wont lol. I enjoy broadcasting, and do it for the chance to fine tune and hopefully enhance my presenting skills, if I have 30+ listeners does that make the show better than say only having 5 listeners, no, what it will say is that having 5 listeners proves I MAY not promote the show enough
Posted by Gaz Evans ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11348&BoardID=4 I correct my listener number its 19 and that was today so that's ok me thinks
Posted by DJWesty ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11348&BoardID=4 It is a great idea 1RR but maybe the reason some of the shows on 1RR are at times when people can best tune in and not the time the original show was Broadcast.? Just a thought might be way off but as Will said the quality of the live show and the equipment you use doesn't always matter. As Ceejay says no amount of promoting your shows seems to matter either but we all have to just keep doing what we do best and that's broadcast great shows. I do my show on a Thursday called The Indie Selection and i contact all the artists a week before the show is due to air asking them to tune in and there followers, some of them have well over 3000 followers so you would imagine they would like to tune in and when you think i play about 13-15 tracks a show that's a lot of followers that could tune in. But the most Ive had is around 18 listeners. I will keep doing what i do and see how it goes.! BUT BRAVO 1RR its a great idea!!!
Posted by DJWesty ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11348&BoardID=4 Strange but true, some people prefer non stop music and a lot of Internet stations do just that, no DJ's. I had noticed the listener numbers to 1RR but there is no indication of the time these shows are listened to or what shows they are. I promote my shows on Facebook, twitter and in groups and forums I am in but as the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Some of the artists I have interviewed have over 100,000 followers on Twitter and thousands of subscribers on YouTube but struggle to get 25 to tune in to the interview. There doesn't seem to be any easy solution to bringing in listeners unless you find some untapped genre as Will has done with club 80's.

Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11266&BoardID=3 I think 1RR has been a great idea and I've very much enjoyed listening (again) to some shows :) I've noticed today again that 1RR has the 3 most listened to shows over the last 24 hours. Surely, most listeners would prefer live interaction than a recording, or are some shows simply not good enough/trying hard enough to pull in the listeners? You could have the best kit in the world (reference the latest posts on mixers and equipment) but if you don't work at promoting your show, and continually reviewing and trying to improve your performance, the kit is pretty pointless. Or, is there still a myth that numbers don't matter?

Posted by DJ PK ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11327&BoardID=7 I would vote to make the forum private so that we all have somewhere to discuss the more private 'goings on' here at 1Radio. As I mentioned above, the blogs are absolutely ideal for posting things that the public can see (and reply to without the need to register?), perfect in fact. Then we can use the blog system which is grossly under-used at the moment and works best for getting 1Radio.org ranked on the aforementioned search engines. Private messages can be sent for any slot-fills, encouraging correct use for this facility and the forum for just DJs and admin staff. At the moment the forum is being used as a 'catch-all' for everything at the expense of the other brilliant facilities which are availble but not used for their intended purpose. A change would make sense, I feel and where I can see no disadvantage apart from the DJs having to get used to this change.

Posted by DJ Weaver ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11281&BoardID=3 Alek/Jonathon, I have had similar issues as yourself. I found the best solution was to be kicked and then do takeover. However, I did speak to Tim about the issue specifically and since then, "touch wood", there have been no similar incidents. Tim, maybe same issue I had that we spoke about.
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11307&BoardID=3 Alek, I don't have slot takeover so that option wasn't available to me. Nice thought though. Tim, May I ask how many moderators there currently are on 1Radio? I have noticed in the past there is rarely one about when one is required. Would it be possible to set up a rota scheme amongst the moderators, to ensure there is always one contactable when there is a live show? JS
Posted by Jonathan Sawyer ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11307&BoardID=3 Jonathan, Tim, I had the same problem in my 3rd show on 1R. Started broadcasting and had the stream breakdown (according to Murphy's law) at about 5:00. Otto considered it as a now show and took over the control so it was impossible to reconnect. Jonathan, did you try to do slot takeover after break? I solved my problem that way. Personally think that disengaging automation would have more cons than pros (dead air). In case that somebody experience this problem again, he should try to do slot takeover and everything would be ok.
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11307&BoardID=3 Adam, Ceejay, thanks for replies! It is just a rough idea, we can discuss more about it of course, and see if Tim agrees :) I agree with you that we should avoid putting some DJs in special position comparing to others, but those are minor issues that could be agreed this or that way, of course that the team spirit is the most important. Ceejay, it's not the point about 100% relevant chart. I could also make Top100 of my favourite disco style today, and tomorrow it would be different, the point is in the game about it and playing the greatest hits. Maybe some public voting few weeks before the event. It does not need to be 7 DJs, it could be 10 or 15 or 20, doing together 7 charts, just an example, I could do disco chart together with Ceejay or JP or Will or Jay Squiers, never mind the details, fun and good spirit are the most important :) Just imagine the same show of 7 hours performed by 3 different DJs - that would make the team spirit stronger ;)
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11327&BoardID=7 @Tim - Thanks for the clarification. The "protocol" that you've put forward for getting slots filled sounds reasonable to me. I think what makes the notion of posting slot fill requests in the forum so attractive to some of us is the fact that it's a rather lazy option. It's much easier to shout "HELP!" in a crowded room and wait idly for somebody else to rise to the occasion, rather than expend the effort to actually contact others individually to ask for help. What I like about your idea is that it goes a step further in fostering responsibility by eliminating another "easy out," while delivering the added bonus of encouraging us all to not hesitate or be afraid to reach out and talk to one another.
Posted by Espy ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11309&BoardID=7 the orig purpose of the forum was to promote shows, suggest ideas for events and other (mostly dj to dj) communications. the nature of the forum was pretty open and listeners could read posts too and some would register so they could post comments. the forums havent always been the snipe-fest that they often become ;) i guess there is an argument for making them private but i'd like to see more comments in support of this move before changing anything. nevertheless, i'd still prefer not to have lots of slot transfer requests in the forum, be it public or private. i think these can be done privately.

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11307&BoardID=3 Most of the songs I like are about 2.5 minutes each and I can easily cram 20 / 24 in an hour :) Also I don't have a favourite Genre, I like many types of music which is why I am so poor :P I have to agree with Adam, a whole week of the same presenters may be off putting to listeners and would maybe cause envy amongst those not selected. For me personally it would be impossible to put 100 favourite songs together, try 15,000 and I may have a chance :)
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11327&BoardID=7 It sounds like a good idea, but i'm just worried about it becoming a sort of a "1Radio elite" - if you only get 7 volunteers, then that's fine, but it needs to be something that we can all be a part of, and not just a select few
Posted by Adam ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11327&BoardID=7 I don't expect you'll like my crazy idea, but sorry I have to share it with you :) BTW, When is 1Radio's birthday? What do you think about planning something very special and crazy for that day? An idea crossed my mind and here it is... To pick one whole week and forget about the regular schedule, do some crazy thing! Pick 7 great 1R DJs, each of them to make Top100 chart of his favourite music style and play it for 7 days! That means 7 DJs, approx 7 hours of music each (100 songs) for 7 days! Spread a word on facebook and twitter that something extraordinary is going on 1Radio and check the listeners result... Details can be arranged (1DJ per day or each DJ 1 hour per day but 7 days in a row, same or different slots...) Just an idea ;)
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11327&BoardID=7 How about making this forum private and using the BLOG system (which is very under-used and actually goes towards ranking the 1Radio.org website on the search engines) for things that you want the public to be exposed to? You can also add audio and video to a blog post which will impress the reader more than a plain text quick message. I was only recently aware that the public could view the forum and was surprised as it does contain the odd 'sensitive' post which would be better if it was for DJs/members viewing only. I'm sure listeners viewing the forum wouldn't be over impressed reading about a ton of DJs all trying to get stand-ins for their shows, no matter how genuine the reason. I also like the idea of writing FOR the listener via the blog system so that they can reply if they choose to and the post would be especially for them. The forum would then be good for all other messages, personal and sensitive to 1Radio and it's members, even slot cancellations.
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11309&BoardID=7 Where this is a good idea the downside is when someone does a no show and there are no mods around we have an hour of dead air. Is it possible, instead of kicking the slot, to send a moderator alert out? A moderator could check to see if there is a show broadcasting or if it is dead air and take the appropriate action. Just a thought.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11307&BoardID=3 Hi Tim, sounds good to me. Was a little annoying to say the least! Do I get my credit back :-P JS
Posted by Jonathan Sawyer ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11307&BoardID=3 Hi JS. You're not the only person whom it affects - but it is thankfully not too common. Sorry for the inconvenience. The issue is that for some reason, the shoutcast server stops reporting the correct details and indicates the person is not broadcasting. The 1R system then sticks its nose in and cancels the slot after a 5 mins of the what it believes is downtime. I propose to permanently deactivate the "off air" detect routine on 1R. If someone really does go off air and not return, or is late for their slot - the slot will continue regardless. It will be for a Mod to notice this and kick the slot so that someone else can take it. This should ensure that no one is accidentally kicked off by the 1R system when they are actually on the air. Ok with everyone?
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11307&BoardID=3 True. I was probably overthinking and lost sight of the main point.
Posted by Javo ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11309&BoardID=7 All sorts of solutions are possible but the point is, we are trying to dissuade people booking slots then cancelling. By and large, that seems to be working. There will always be an occasional need to cancel a slot due to unexpected circumstances. The existing solution caters for this and lets you contact someone and see if they will take the slot off you. It would make sense to contact the people either side of the slot you are cancelling to see if they want to extend their show. It also makes sense to ask people to take your slot privately via a direct message or email and not flood the forum with these requests. Common sense should prevail please.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11309&BoardID=7 Just an idea: "A page that lists all active cover requests (boolean in a SQL database to determine whether the show is now a cover request) where each 'section' includes the show name, dj name, show date/time and the reason why cover is required. Additionally inputs for accepting the cover request and messaging the DJ could go under the information." I could build a prototype on my website if people were interested (and if Tim doesn't mind).

Posted by Espy ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11309&BoardID=7 Or simply record the show as I did when I was refurbishing my room. I played it out on Winamp. Samb lets you set a timer so that should be even easier.

Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11309&BoardID=7 I agree this doesn't heed to be in the forum. But there's nothing to stop you private messaging each other. Mass messaging to each other isn't going to happen as it will be abused and soon become a spammy annoyance.

Posted by Eddie ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11309&BoardID=7 I've an idea. In the Unbooking section when you click unbook, you get a page where you send a request. In there you can add a button which will message all DJs that are signed up to Slot Standby that the slot is open and available. Of course, you don't just have to limit it to Standby people, but I just thought they would be the best choice.
Posted by Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11309&BoardID=7 We could use the 1Radio Facebook Group or have an internal mailing system which would send a message to all dj / presenters, pretty much the way 1Radio Admin sends important information or updates to us.

Posted by Mark ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11309&BoardID=7 It's great to see that most people are making the effort to find somebody to cover their slot should they be unable to do their show. However the forum is becoming rather cluttered with cover requests. I would like to suggest a private area of the forum which is only visible to DJs and not the public. This will keep the forum a lot less cluttered, I also do not think the listeners or public need to be made aware of people asking the cover. Just a thought.

Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11198&BoardID=4 Thanks Tim, glad you enjoy what you have been able to hear. I'm getting a lot of good feedback about the show, which is always nice. I've had 2 theatre groups contact me about doing some radio drama for me as well, they are currently re-writting some of their scripts to alter them from stage to radio plays, which is all very exciting. I've even had one group ask if i could convert a short storry I had published to a radio play script and they will perform it - which is also nice.

I'd like to close this thread now by saying well done to everyone who participated, listened or was involved in some other way. A full schedule is great to see, very encouraging and a credit to everyone involved. Thanks! :) Lets simply try to have more days like that, eh? Cheers, Tim

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11232&BoardID=3 I do like the idea of a listener top 10 as this encourages them to interact as well as showing them that we know how important they are to 1Radio. Nobody is more deserving to having their 'chart' played than the person who actually makes requests and listens to other shows regularly. Great post.
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11239&BoardID=4 I think there were a few factors at play: We had people connecting because they're into the type of music played in the 3-hour Roadblock/Club 80's/Synthopia shows (which already have a regular, solid audience) and people who tuned in for Martyn's 50th show, but more than that there's the added bonus of the community atmosphere in the shoutbox and from DJs encouraging listeners to stay tuned for the following shows. And I think having a continuous schedule was a big part of it too - people stayed because they were curious about what was coming next! In fact, I got so caught up in it that I decided to book an impromptu one-hour slot just to stop the Auto DJ getting his claws in. I ended up getting listener figures comparable to The Engineerium even though my slot wasn't promoted beforehand, and I really think that was down to people enjoying the fact that there was a real, live presenter on air for most of the day (sorry, Otto) and sticking around to see what would happen next :)
Posted by DJ PK ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11232&BoardID=3 This is a forum for discussion on all things '1Radio.org' and related items. If everyone was too frightened to post anything just in case someone didn't get the point, the forum would be blank with no interaction, no questions, no answers, no feedback etc. etc.. I was merely pointing out that the listening figures, however they were gained, stayed consistent throughout the afternoon. My show was a slant towards the fact that it was my 50th show for 1radio and I thank Ceejay and everyone else who came along to support it, but the post was about the two EXTRA shows that were booked in keeping the live programming going and ALL getting consistent figures. Whether the shows were good/bad/amazing or who performed them etc. had nothing to do with my post, it was simply that I was very pleased that listeners were clearly prepared to stay listening throughout the afternoon. Alek and Will had positive comments to give and also gave good feedback about the point made. This is what it's about.
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11232&BoardID=3 I don't see the relevance of this post. It was a one off day, although since Jay, Will & Andrew started their three hour morning slots their figures have been consistent. If these figures were consistent for all 4 hours every week for 3 months then it would have some point. Your show was a special and many, myself included, came to support you, hence the extra listener figures. We have had days like this many times before and as Will said there is always an audience to be had, it is just enticing them to the station.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11232&BoardID=3 Yeh, I've not been active very recently, hence the post, however I do remember listening to a few of your shows and having a good chat in the shoutbox :D

Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11230&BoardID=3 Yes I admit - my earlier shows were a lot better and I hope to get back to that in the future
Posted by Javo ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11230&BoardID=3 I used to enjoy your Saturday afternoon shows James, some good music choices but the last few shows you did were basically back to back music with no chat. Hope you do come back and do the shows as you used to. Hadn't you used to do a techy or new gadget section in those early shows?
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11230&BoardID=3 I will set the alarm clock that morning. Ylle is one of our regular listeners so it won't be any effort to return the favour. Actually I am more curious to see what she selects as her top 10, this will be interesting.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11239&BoardID=4 One of the most supportive listeners on 1Radio is Ylle Ruus. She found 1Radio as a result of seeing a Club 80s promtion on Facebook around 18 months ago, and has been a fantastic supporter, contributor and listener to not only Club 80s but most of 1Radio ever since. A regular feature in Club 80s over the last 6 months is listener's Top 10/20s from the 80s genres of Hi-Nrg, Eurobeat and Italo Disco. I'm delighted to say Ylle has chosen her Top 10, and this will be played out on Saturday 9 February 2013, as usual from 10-Noon GMT. If you can, please show your support of this fine young lady, as I'm sure she has done with you over the last 18 months :)
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11239&BoardID=4 Update: As for the reason I let my account lapse probably comes down to the fact that I didn't have full commitment. Being part of 1Radio is fantastic, but again I suppose I was just doing a show as a 'one-off' rather than making sure that I produced a steady stream of shows. 1 hour a week may seem a lot but it’s actually not, and 1 hour a month is far less of a commitment so I guess it as down to laziness that I didn't broadcast for a month. So there we go, why I should be considered for re-admittance is that I aim to make 2013 the year where I put more effort into producing the shows and therefore raising the overall standard of anything that I broadcast.
Posted by Javo ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11230&BoardID=3 @ Alek. I don't have that many from Oz, maybe 1 in 6-7, and one, Skerat, has already joined the ranks here at the 1 :) I do chip away at the others, but so far nobody has been willing to apply. My belief is that the time difference between us and Oz is between 8-11 hours, and so it really needs to be the UK mornings that they would broadcast.
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11232&BoardID=3 Just a thought... maybe I'm wrong... Will has many listeners from Australia and according to their time zone, afternoons are their evenings. Friday seems to be the most attractive because it's the start of their weekend. But any day afternoon should be a good time for that timezone.
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11232&BoardID=3 Since the new Friday morning schedule was shaped 10-12 weeks ago, Martyn, it has possibly been consistently the most listened to 3 hour period on the 1. On Friday past that was apparent again. A huge well done to Jay and Andrew, both of which have been with 1Radio less than 3 months, but have worked very hard at establishing a regular and loyal listenership. Your slot at 1pm has been a welcome addition to that, be it for one or two hours. I believe there is an audience any time of the day. It's not easy, of course it's not, but a good degree of hard work that involves research, promotion, marketing, consistency, continuity......will in time, IMHO, make it pay off :)
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11232&BoardID=3 Looking at the stats for Friday 18th Jan '13, I was very pleased to see listener figures pretty constant throughout the afternoon. I'm not sure what that really tells us but, wow, most impressed ... there is an audience who needs 1Radio at that time of day, obviously :) Martyn
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11232&BoardID=3 Due to 1Radio's new policy about inactive accounts I am writing this topic. So, the music platform is going to be similar to what it was before with the exception of more themed weeks, more regular shows (probably later at night) and finally more talk inbetween the music. I also want to try to make the show more interactive, encouraging more listeners to contribute to the dicussion. Thanks :)

Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11219&BoardID=3 No problem Peff. If you want to message me over teh icon you use for the show, you can do. I plan to host it as me standing in for you on the Engineerium rather than substituting one of my own shows. Music wise I was thinking some VNV Nation, Some Cromax International, Some Cruxshadows and some Rottersand - along those lines. You good with that? Gives me a chance to crack out all the stuff Dark Traxx digital sent me over that I've hardly used on air since rejoining 1Radio.
Posted by DJ Ghost ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11219&BoardID=3 Thanks Ghost and Ceejay - have messaged Tim about the slot changes. I'll see if I can squeeze some shows in at other times in the week to make up for it!
Posted by DJ PK ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11219&BoardID=3 This is a polite reminder that you are now expected to do at least one show a month to remain on 1R. If you are unable to make this minimal commitment, then your account will be closed. Sorry, but one show a month is a very small ask. If your account was previously closed and you want to return, you will be asked to make a post in the forum regarding why you let it lapse and why you should be allowed to return. I'm asking for more visibility for peoples pleas to return because I often let people come back on the understanding they will commit more. When they subsequently fall by the wayside again, it gives the impression that I simply let people come and go as they please, not that they have broken their "promise". If you ARE allowed back, you will need to commit to ONE SHOW A WEEK to indicate your willingness to be an active member. Only then will your account be considered for reopening permanently. Our intention is to have a varied and committed team of presenters delivering at least one show a month in 2013. This really is a tiny investment of time and quite achievable if you are truly wanting to be a part of this station. If you have previously squandered an account and want back in, it's not automatic. And it will be on new terms with new commitment.

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11154&BoardID=3 It's just crossed my mind that following my show on Friday 18th (this coming Friday) 1pm to 3pm that there is no live show booked in. As the one till three slot will contain my 50th show for 1Radio, I am promoting it over and above any show I've presented before and so it may attract a lot more listeners. It would be a shame if it went dead after I finish at 3pm so would anyone like to book a show in to perform live? Of course, my promoting efforts may not make a big difference but, I've invited several hundred via FB and contained the 1Radio link in an ad that I'm running online so, may well be worth having those slots booked in after me.

Posted by DJ Chris G ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11163&BoardID=3 On the past form I'm not too sure if Tim would be willing to risk another chance. Firstly you lost you account through inactivity, when Tim reopened it you did two or three shows, booked a midday show and failed to turn up. Your account was closed. Then you came back again and did exactly the same thing, your account was closed again. After a plea, and a lot of support from 1Radio presenters you were given another chance. It seemed you were going make a go of it but then posted a message in the forum that you had a cold and wouldn't be on for a couple of weeks. You didn't show up again and the system closed your account for inactivity. Given this I don't know if you could cope with all the new rules we have in place in now. No unbooking last minute, at least one show a month and toughing up on no shows. The promises have been made and broken in the past which is going to make his decision harder. When you did do shows they were fine you just need to show more commitment.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11163&BoardID=3 I would say it depends on how many chances he has had. Sounds to me like he's had 2.
Posted by Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11163&BoardID=3 (This is written by Andrew Weaver and is on his behalf) Hey Guys, Weaver here, I would first off like to throw out my biggest apology, for letting everyone down at the station. Recently I have had some problems at home, just dropped out of college and I need something that I enjoy to keep me motivated, radio. I could quite easily send in a demo to another station but it wouldn't be the same, its not 1Radio, the place that took me in when I first started and helped me develop my broadcasting skills! I would really appreciate it if you were to allow me ONE more chance! I know I have said this in the past and have let you down but I promise, it wont be the same this time! Tim, If you are reading this please give me one last chance, I know I let you down and you must feel very dissapointed in me but I want you to understand that it will be diffrent this time! to everyone else, I am truly sorry and hope you can, again, give me another chance. Hope to see you around guys, soon -Andrew

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11145&BoardID=3 Great to see so much enthusiasm for 1Radio Replay, can I just add a few words being familiar with both the management of what is known as a 'sustaining service' such as 1Radio Replay, and with the operation of Wavestreamers Scheduling system, adding a formal service such as scheduling fixed time playouts, etc is a massive overhead on the operation of any service, let alone a volunteer operation such as 1Radio. Perhaps a 'tag standard' for the submitted files might help in showing more data on 'the listener front end screen. As for the operation, 'Shotbox Yes or No ?' most people know my feeling on this, without the Presenter being there what's the point? but put that down to an 'old git' who doesn't use any form of instant messenger systems as I find them a 'PINTA'... work it out. Anything that gives us audience to 'grab onto, build and then pass to the next presenter' is nothing but good news.
Posted by Colin John ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11110&BoardID=8 If you provide me a show for 1RReplay, be sure to tag it with your name and show title. This will then appear in the now playing info. Some people are wondering why individual songs dont get displayed. Its just not possible. The system treats a show recording like any other MP3 and displays its ID3 tag as normal. Theres no way the system can discern individual songs in a recording and display the titles. So, please update your tags to show DJ Name - Show title (date of recording). This will then display correctly in "now playing". If you want to be really clever, add an entry for yourself on the last.fm site. Last.fm is like a wiki. If you put your bio and pic in, this will be picked up in the now playing info. Ask Espy for details on how to do this...

Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11132&BoardID=3 "We are just too far ahead of the game" - now I knew I'd picked a good station to join but holy Guthix... But yeah, I understand the whole point about coding. For example that app I'm making (which is using hacks and workarounds out the wazoo), the APIs that you would have to build would be very time consuming, and you would need to see a valid need for it. Now, let's say I got 1Radio's stream 2'500 unique hits a day via the app, that might be enough to make you consider, especially if they kept locked to the stream for quite some time. It's the same here, people have to prove to you why it's worth doing this.
Posted by Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11110&BoardID=8 Great suggestion Adam - but again, it boils down to the effort required to manage this info. The autodj system we use is external. Its possible to schedule replayed shows at specific times but it must be done manually with playlists and files and on a daily basis. Its a lengthy process using the wavestreaming autodj software. Theirs is not the most sophisticated or friendly system and is buggy too. Its not the best of what is out there but it is the most reliable. No other station that I know of works quite like 1R. Its a pretty powerful system and external suppliers just dont cater for what we have here. Every other station has a fixed schedule. Same person, same time each week, with very little flexibilitiy. Our set up is our strength but also our weakness. We are just too far ahead of the game ;) That sounds like me being smug but I'm not. I've reviewed loads of software, autodj systems and station management tools and there is very little quality software or services out there. 1R has to be as automated as much as possible. I also have to weigh up the benefits vs the effort required for additional functionality. At present, I dont feel its worth it. Sorry.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11110&BoardID=8 I'd also like to add my complements to the replay, as I think it's brilliant to listen to when I just wake up/ I'm on the way to work :) As a thought, is it possible to create a list of shows that are being replayed, and link it to that shows archive page (like this one: http://1radio.org/listen/show.php?HistoryID=61168158-3191-d9ec-2d68-ea64fb1e9967) , which will keep a list of what was played during that hour, and that way, we can see what was played during the show :)
Posted by Adam ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11110&BoardID=8 Thanks for the positive feedback. A few points - its not feasible to schedule a specific show to play at a specific time. this would require manual scheduling for 50+ hours per week. I dont have the time sorry. - therefore the system plays random shows from eachpresenter until all have had a show, then it picks randomly again in a loop so that there is a good variety - its not possible to list the particular songs playing. the shows are a single MP3 file. The system can only list that ID3 info for the file - not the individual tracks in the show. (NOTE - be sure to save your presenter name and show title in the artist - title tag info for your MP3 file so it gets displayed when your show is on) - the shoutbox is open for all the 1R Replay slots. its not vitally important to have a mod but if one is around and becomes aware of problems, they can delete comments or block the user as usual. For empty slots at other times, the shoutbox is closed so that takeover is possible. Tim
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11110&BoardID=8 with regards to scheduling replay shows perhaps as a short-term measure the show times could simply be written in the show description for "1Radio replay"
Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11110&BoardID=8 Interesting conversation :) Of course, I also think that there is a large space for "fine tuning" in technical way, meaning song titles during shows, shoutbox moderator or not, shoutbox opened or closed, schedule for replays so that we can see what to expect... But... I also understand Tim that these are all technical issues that can not be solved easily in a day and need some time... Manual work or writing an automation procedure - it's time consuming job whatever to decide... At the end, I think that we should live with this like it is and get impressions at least for one month and than decide what will be the subject of fine tuning. Of course, it's on Tim :)
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11110&BoardID=8 I think this is a really good idea, however would it not be better to have the 1Radio Reply, schedule of available so that people know what they are listening to?
Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11110&BoardID=8 Do I understand correctly that the songtitles cannot be shown when replaying shows? How would the system know which title was playing anyway, I suppose. Would it be an idea to have the Shoutbox live during such shows? I think that, if the listener was clearly informed that they were listening to a recording, they wouldn't mind not being able to join in with any competitions and DJ interaction etc.. It would clear up confusion when the wrong time/date is mentioned 'live' on air, too. Being a recording it would be impossible to line this up perfectly. Having the Shoutbox live during recorded shows would allow interaction between listeners, of course, but would then need to have a moderator present to control any flaming or other abuse that may occur. I do like the idea of 1Radio Replay, though as I can now hear shows that I missed. The country special from Fred was great and now I hear that LadyT is having her country shows broadcast as well. This can only be good news for us all

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11117&BoardID=3 1 Radio Replay is a great idea which can provide only good for 1R. I am available for any help. Opened shoutbox is a must, I think!
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11110&BoardID=8 I hate to say it but the solution is simple: Find someone to cover it and purchase some more credits. Like Ceejay said, it's to weed out timewasters. It had to be done because there were people who were abusing the system. Now, when it comes to last minute unbookings I am the worst culprit by far, so you can blame me and wholly me for this system having to be enforced. But my removal wouldn't change anything, as you'd likely get someone else who is almost as bad as me (but never as bad as or worse than me, I have cleanly claimed the title of most irritating 1Radio DJ. I still believe my name was behind the 1Radio's Most Annoying presenter card that was never announced because of the hilarious sketch Tim created around it. Kudos to him for that.) - so the system needs to be in place as it is. Unfortunately, this new system isn't going anywhere.
Posted by Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11117&BoardID=3 According to the schedule you've only booked 12-1am, so you can still book 11pm-12am. The new system is designed to rid us of last minute unbooking and everyone was notified of the changes long before they were implemented

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11118&BoardID=3 Why is it, when I want to book say 11pm til 12 (that's 1 day) then I can't book more than 2 hours after? It's not peak time? (GMT) but I want shows in the 'lean hours' There are still a few restrictions which make the whole idea of a constant stream seem a little 'restrictive' Any thoughts anyone? Because of my job, sometimes the later hours are better for me, and less chance of work keeping me longer so I can't do shows in the normal hours....
Posted by DJ Scuba Steve ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11118&BoardID=3 Just found a little annoyance in the new cancellation policy.....

Problem is, I want to book the hour before, but since I've now booked my slots with no option bug to ask to cancel, I'm stuck. So, there will be NO 11pm show, but feel free to listen 12-2, not 11-1 as planned. Re-think anyone????????

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11107&BoardID=4 I also want to play Westy's jingle and have it. The only problem is the length which is about 1.26 as I remember. Agree with Martyn that 30 sec version would me much more suitable for my 1-hour sets. So if Westy agrees, I would prefer playing shorter version. In that case I would need Martyn's version of Westy's promo. My shows are non-stop live beatmixed so there is no gap for jingles unless I force them, so just a thought that dry promos (vocals without music and fx) would be also useful...

Posted by Fred Hart ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11106&BoardID=4 Hi Ian, Just downloaded, thanks. I have made a second version of your trailer to play when I present an hour long show and will use the full, longer version during my two hour shows. As trailers tend to be played more often when they run at approx 30 seconds, if you would like me to upload my new version for anyone to use, let me know and I'll do it. None of the information is removed, it just makes it good for filling those shorter gaps during any one show :-) .
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11098&BoardID=4 Yeah, true Ceejay. I'm not taking a specific slot though each week. Like I mentioned in another thread, I plan to have a dynamic schedule so I'll rarely be having the same slot. As a result of this, I'll end up with the scraps for listener figures (even getting 6 listeners is an achievement for me, 3 years on. Shows how crud my shows are). Of course, this doesn't bother me, my role is not to be a dedicated show presenter here, but rather a slot-filler. For example the Saturday slot, there'll be times that I take that slot. Will I have low listener figures? Absolutely. Will that concern me? No, because as long as at least some of my listener base hangs around for the next show, that's extra listeners for them.
Posted by Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11009&BoardID=4 Preparation and regular times equals loyal listeners. The only person getting good stable listener figures so far is Will and that is because every show is prepared and executed like a well oiled machine. With my own shows it depends how popular or well known the artist is. I expect mayhem in the shoutbox this Sunday but subsequent Sundays will vary from less than 20 to more max-outs. This is one show I love to do, I like interviewing people and obviously some are better than others.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11009&BoardID=4 Will, having seen the new system no shows would to me result in a lost credit plus a 999 (yes, nine hundred and ninety nine) credit fine. Oh, and anyone with unlimited credits... they lose that and go negative 500 credits, cannot buy unlimited credits again until they get back to at least 0 credits, which equals £250 more for Tim Longhurst. Unbooking with less than 24 hours notice would warrant a 499 credit fine plus loss of credit used to book. etc etc. Lots more money for Tim, lots more punishment for short-notice cancellers. Oh and Ceejay, I still believe Tim should backdate mine and only mine before you say I'd be the first out. And yes, I still believe in the negative credit system. Yes, the numbers get bigger each time. Actually you know what, just trash unlimited credits completely. Anyone with unlimited credits atm gets knocked to 100 credits. Make the £50 deal give 100 credits.

Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11091&BoardID=3 Forgetting to do a show is outrageous. You're either doing too many and/or you're clearly not doing any preparation. Cancellation at short notice is not much of a lesser evil what with the ability to access 1Radio remotely at any time. Hopefully the new system and the commitment of the regular jocks will make both a thing of the past.

Posted by DJWesty ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11098&BoardID=4 No credits refunded if unbooked with less than a week's notice... I still think there should be no credits refunded period.
Posted by Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11009&BoardID=4 While not interested in autobookings, I don't mind doing the odd slot either side of you. I however have decided that as my uni radio is a fixed service (same timeslot every week), I want to be different in my 1R approach and provide a more infrequent dynamic service (different timeslots, not always the same slot each time).
Posted by Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11091&BoardID=3 Finished! Now you can book your slot! Have fun ;)
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11091&BoardID=3 I only wanted it this week to be honest so I could play out the birthday bash I had to cancel last week. After this week I could fill the odd hour before or after you.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11091&BoardID=3 Ceejay, that's OK with me. I can do my shows at 18:00-19:00 in winter, in January and February if you would like to commit for 2 hours after me. After that, from March, I would prefer slots from 19:00 because days are longer and I am outside until dark :) If you agree with this, we can contact Tim to rearrange schedule and autobooking rules for Jan and Feb. OK?
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11091&BoardID=3 I was hoping you would be on a 18:00 so I could have had the 2 hours after you to do last weeks cancelled show but I don't want to do 2 split hours
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11091&BoardID=3 I commited myself to play 1-hour show on Saturdays 19-20 (UK Time). Now I see that noone has booked not a one slot before and after me in January. Auto-DJ will play before and after me if nobody applies for slots. At the end, it's OK with me, just wanted to check with others who might be interested in Saturdays evening shows. If I autobooked something that is not ok with others I am ready to change my autobooking rule to, for example, 18-19:00 and leave 2-hours for somebody else if you want... Just let me know and I will arrange that with Tim. Sounds strange to me that Saturday is not interesting to DJs except Westy and me for now...

Posted by DJ Aaron ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11077&BoardID=6 That is incorrect, Martyn. If you go to "now playing" within "shows" at any time prior to your show, you can see the list of requests. The frustration is though that the requester will probably be "unknown", unless they are a shoutbox regular/previous requestor. However, at least it allows you to prepare for the requests should you wish to play them. Another small tip for those that do 2hr shows. You can enter your opening shoutbox comments prior to the hourly change by going into the "new show" and writing your opening comments. It will then automatically appear at the changeover.
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11077&BoardID=6 Spike's recommendation about listening back to yourself is very valid, especially when your starting out. I'm also one who cringes at some parts of my show, but it tells me what I'm doing wrong. Too close to the mic, too far away, stumbling over words or talking total crap. I have improved myself by listening back, but it also tells me I still need to refine my style even more so. Perfection maybe the aim ultimate aim, but I work on being relaxed and letting my style and personality shine through. If we all keep tweaking, things will fall into place.
Posted by Skerat ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11051&BoardID=3 Do bear in mind that you won't be able to sort through the requests that they click on until your Show Page appears when you go live ... then all the requests form a list as they load. Listeners can, of course, inform you of their choices in advance via FB which would give you chance to make a balanced playlist. Also, they may make a request and then not turn up to listen to you broadcasting it. This spoils it for those that turn up and make requests but you can't fit them in as your slots are filled up with 'unattended requests'. M

It went well for a while until, as usual, people got bored and no one wanted to host it. I think you than ran with your own take on it for a while until... you got bored ;) WLNM was unrelated to my "most wanted" chart. It was just an avenue to publicise all the new music we get sent.

Such a shame to see it go, but I am looking to bring back my old Most Wanted chart (did you know this was what actually started the WLNM chart? I was presenting my own, someone suggested a new music countdown show, and then my show morphed into that, I feel like the HTC of this radio station. I start up new things, and then pass the baton on to someone else to do better, which if we use Android as an example, I'd be the HTC and you'd be the Samsung)

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11071&BoardID=7 I am so pleased that some of the DJs are playing my programme trailers. I would like to play other DJs trailers as well. However, many are simply out of date and can't be used properly so, to this end, DJ Westy has suggested … How about we all make up BRAND NEW show promos (30 seconds or so?) that we can each play out on our respective shows for other DJs (they play yours, you play theirs). If we can help each other in this small way, then maybe we could gain new listeners to our show … it's worth a try, we feel. What do others think? .
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11071&BoardID=7 CONTINUED FROM POST ABOVE: I agree, just having 1 or 2 listeners would make me feel down as I must admit I do get a buzz when the numbers creep upwards :-) … playing a two hour show knowing that nobody was tuned in is kind of disappointing but I also agree that you should carry on as if the world was listening as it's great experience you're gaining and, if you love doing it, just do it. Great post, Ceejay, I give you 10 out of 10 every single show! I love your music, the information you give with the songs, your excitiment that you portray before each track and the downright enthusiasm you bring to the team every time. That's how you're coming out of the speakers to me, anyway Ceejay.
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11051&BoardID=3 Ceejay, I like your reply. This may not be what Spike meant when he was asking the question in his original post, but it's got some fascinating replies so, keep 'em coming, I say. Contrary to what you believe … I think you sound genuinely knowledgeable in your music and you come across someone who I can relate to and who knows about what they're talking about and playing for the listeners. It's all very well sounding like Tony Blackburn but, how boring if we all sounded the same! I judge shows on how much the DJ cares about what they're saying and playing and how it entertains their regular listeners not by 'how good they are at presenting'. CONTINUED BELOW
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11051&BoardID=3 As far as presenting goes I would rate myself 2 / 10 but my passion for the music, promoting new talent and generally having fun doing it keeps a small band of loyal listeners tuning in. I have big plans for 2013 and while it's enjoyable, irrespective of how hard I have to work at it, I will continue doing what I do. No one wants to broadcast to 1 or 2 listeners but this is Internet radio and getting listeners is hard work for everyone so just do the best you can.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11051&BoardID=3 Would I listen to myself? No, my presenter style is too far out of the reaches of normality to be considered even remotely appealing. I present because I love doing it, but I have to admit I sound like total garbage that's been mixed with sewer water and a person's poo.
Posted by Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11051&BoardID=3 Oh, and I quite like the sound of my own voice ;) I'm always surprised by how 'well-spoken' I sound when I'm recorded. Even if I think I'm being really casual it still comes out as a bit posh! Hahaha :D
Posted by DJ PK ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11051&BoardID=3 Generally, my responses to a show recording depend on how well I think the show went... So, if I had a really great, enjoyable show, lots of listener interaction, feeling really buzzed about the music I'm playing... I will invariably CRINGE when listening back to myself "Oh my god, I sound like such a geek, I stumbled during that link, those songs were mixed really poorly, I just said 'fantastic' about a million times..." But if a show went really badly, I usually listen back and think "Hey, I actually did a good show there! You can't notice that I have a chest infection/am drunk/didn't mix those songs very well/stumbled over my words." I do enjoy listening to my OLDER recordings, so I can get a bit of perspective with distance. In those cases, I usually spend the whole time thinking "Ooh, I love this song. DAMN I have good taste in music ;) " I'm definitely trying to get the balance between getting the technical side right, and being an entertaining presenter. Still much to improve :)

Posted by Sean ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11051&BoardID=3 What a great post, Spike, thanks. I started to record my shows as friends and family asked me to so, so that they could listen to them. When hearing myself, I don't think of it as me ... just another person speaking and playing tracks. However, I have taken mental notes of a thing I may have said or the way I do something if it does need correcting. I don't take what I say or play too seriously as it's designed to be 'takeaway', in other words; like you might eat a takeaway meal, you get it, consume it, throw the rest away ... until the next show, then do it all again. It's not really designed to be kept and treasured or whatever lol. As for ego, I lost that years ago when I first started 'doing discos' back in the 1970s ... I do it now for a hobby and enjoy hearing the music and, of course, hope others do also. Since joining 1Radio, I really enjoy the community and support from other DJs, including yourself and, especially listening to other DJs and their kind of music.
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11051&BoardID=3 Paladinleeds You can allow some posts to collect comments and display them or disallow them altogether using Wordress, that is a standard feature. Go Daddy should allow you to use a system called 'CPanel' (Control Panel, basically), where you can create a Wordpress site in seconds with one click. On Ceejay's point about Wordpress being good for just blogs .... since it's last few updates you can run a full-blow website on it, no problem whatsoever. It's running major membership sites for users as well. It has come on in leaps and bounds over the past couple of years and is now the most used platform on the Internet for building all kinds of sites. Don't get confused by the free wordpress.com platform,what you need is the Wordpress.org version, which is still free but you host it on your choice of server and domain.

FWIW, Spike, an ego is a motivating factor for me because it stimulates me to do a decent job, and to continue to try to be innovative and creative. There is a huge difference between ego and arrogance, and it's my ego that wants me to continue to do well. On the listening back at myself, I do it regulary, mainly to try to improve and recognise what i do repetitively that I may not like. Also, brutally, I like what I play ;) There are jocks on here that I don't listen to. Maybe another improvement into 2013, as Alek suggests, would be to communicate with them privately about how to improve. For me, some on here get so worked up on the technical side of things that they forget the basics of communication and the objective of keeping the listener entertained.
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11051&BoardID=3 Hello Spike, I'm the one who records own shows and listen later in the car for several reasons, but the main is to find mistakes and/or find a ways to improve the show. I find it useful. Especially here on 1R because English is not my native language, so it is more difficult for me to be good and attractive for audience. I have to say that I highly respect your work but I don't know what you exactly mean with your post. I suppose you think some of presenters are not as good as they should be. So, I think there is nothing wrong if you help them by addressing particular issues in private messages to them (including me :)) Any help is always welcome ;)
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11051&BoardID=3 Agree with Ceejay! When I start the show, there are about 6 seconds after zero when stream goes on. Martyn, it all depends on software you use for streaming, my solution is almost perfect for me and that is the simple Winamp. For all those who use Winamp, don't ever bother about start time, just click "Connect" and check the box "Retry every 1 second". I click connect about 1 minute before I should and wait. Timer, comes to zero, and about 6 seconds after (winamp is retrying every second) 1R "catches" my signal and I go live. Winamp counter starts counting, meaning my stream is fully ON. I can start talking... Important - I do not use Winamp for playing songs, just for sending the stream. Behind Winamp, I use Serato Itch for playing and mixing tracks with mic. Hope this helps...

Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11031&BoardID=3 Paladinleeds, you're better off using just your own Wordpress site (hosted on your own domain) than using HTML, PHP etc. as it's easier to use (almost totally point n click) than conventional platforms. If you want your Wordpress based website to do something, you simply add a free plugin to your backshop, activate it and it works. Whereas with HTML based sites, you have to build it from the ground up using coding, which is a nightmare if you're not a programmer. I have over 100 websites and they're all based on Wordpress.

Posted by Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11026&BoardID=3 I think Virgin was only having issues during upgrading their systems to 100Mb. We can get 100Mb here now but I don't need that speed, 30Mb is perfect for me after struggling to get 3Mb with AOL / BT. When we reported a fault on the line their engineer said there was nothing wrong with it, mainly because it wasn't windy or rainy that day. Well just over a year ago the phone went off, no Internet or phone for 3 days and the fault was an old copper cable had rotted to the point the wind eventually snapped it. The engineer on that occasion asked if we ever had any interference and when I told him he was shocked they hadn't spotted it. Anyone with BT I suggest you scrap them and go cable if you can, or get a dongle like Ghost. BTW you can use Skype with a dongle to call Land-line phones, which is where I got my no land-line idea from. I'll make a video for YouTube when I get time.

Posted by Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11022&BoardID=3 For around £7 a month extra you could have 30Mb unlimited Internet , no need for a land line. We will save an average of £186 a year in line rental plus the £7 they charge for not paying by direct debit. No more mystery phone calls that non of us ever made. The first year I won't save that much because I have to pay to have Cable Installed, or take a Phone / TV package which is about £35 a month and which I don't need, I need a decent new phone (ordered) and a Skype phone number, £35 a year. However any family / friends with Skype can now call me free of charge or if I need to phone them it is a flat rate 1.6p per minute anytime, a fraction of BT's daytime calling. Because Skype is PAYG no more horrible £90+ phone bills. Ok this weekend has been ruined but long term things can only get better and seeing the back of those two 'Services' will be the best thing I ever did.

One of the happiest phone calls I ever made was when I told BT I was no loner going to patronise their serice and even had them remoe the landline. The day before the smug git had pointed out that whoever I had my boradband with it would still need to go via a BT line - so I bouth a dongle and loated hugely as htey sputterd "but, but.." as I pointed out I no longer needed a land line as dongle for internent + mobile phone for calls = BT now obsolete.

Posted by Adam ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=9416&BoardID=6 Had to cancel this weekends shows thanks to the shit that is AOL & BT. Despite paying in advance to January 10, these two piles of excrement decided that December 29 would be a good time to cut off our phone and Internet. Despite extending the phone service to January 14, the period we have paid for, AOL say they can't change the date. Problem is their customer service, probably the worse you will ever encounter, is based in India. So until January 2nd 2013 when I get cable installed I will be reduced to using my Vodaphone dongle. Although I can broadcast at 96kb/s with that I can't use the shoutbox & Skype at the same time. I can't describe how angry I am at the moment but with 3 years without a no show, I just can't find a solution.

Posted by Dazzle ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11009&BoardID=4 I have very rarely unhooked a slot on a Friday night, but that is down to whether I feel ok to do my slot or not on the Saturday; and like Steve says, if I miss a show and lose my credit, it's my own fault, and I do get really annoyed with myself if I do miss a slot, or indeed have to cancel due to illness. I'm looking forward to 2013, and I'm sure it will be a great year for 1Radio :)
Posted by Adam ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11009&BoardID=4 I will be the first to stand up and say I have unbooked slots quite late. But unfortunately, there are occasions where my paid job (the one that keeps a roof over my head and the Internet bill paid) has to take priority. I never cancel unless there is a solid reason for doing it. If I lose a credit, fair enough. This will not change under the new rules, as I will contact the Mod as soon as possible. We've all had to follow otto, but I use Facebook and twitter to get people to tune in at the time. I just keep on going as if the whole world was listening... I can't say I'm that hung up on loads of listeners... Merry Christmas all at the 1... Keep doing what we're good at, things will be fine. See you in 2013!! X
Posted by DJ Scuba Steve ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11009&BoardID=4 At the moment, due to circumstances beyond my control, I'm not sure if I will have Internet after Saturday. As it could be cut anytime I'm not risking a no show or late cancellation. If I haven't sorted it by 6pm Thursday I will have no option but to unbook. This will however leave plenty of time for someone else to book the slots. I have a broadband dongle which I could broadcast with, at a reduced rate, but I wouldn't be able to monitor the stream or use the shoutbox, so for me that isn't an option other than to listen in to other shows. There will always be times when unavoidable events prevent us from broadcasting and Tim has always made an allowance for that. We have both experienced last minute power cuts or ISP problems, with 2 minutes before your due to start all you can do is cuss the air blue. As Colin said, let's pull together and make 2013 the best year so far for 1radio.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11009&BoardID=4 Just to add ... when you view the shoutbox during Otto time, it states 'Sorry, there is no show at the moment' or similar. This will make any that do tune in, tune right out again as they've just seen an apology that there is nothing going on in here. But, yes, dedicated DJs with regular slots will always win the day.
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11009&BoardID=4 Nobody likes Following Otto as your starting from a blank canvas in most cases, but what is worse in my opinion is working your 'wat-sits' off to get an audience and then hand over to ...... nobody! I've been saying for years it's hard work to get listeners, especially on Internet Radio, but it's as easy as Pie to lose them. I'm with CeeJay on the late cancellations, gets my red-mist down straight away..Worse still are the 'I forgot Iwas doing a show' people.... sorry, to use the language but that is either Bollocks, or a presenter who doesn't do Proper Show Prep Istart getting ready days before! I'm all for the 'Sustaining Service' in the 'dark hours', but not in peak that would give those presenters that don't have the level of committment this station deserves the opportunity to 'float in and out'. OK i'm an 'Old Git' and most people wouldn't listen to my shows in Peak and I know it... so come on guys forget who's on or not cancelling or not just get booking and fill the schedules.

Posted by Ross ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11015&BoardID=3 I agree Ceejay, this has to be enforced (although I still think fines should be introduced as per previous posts, and hey, I'm likely leaving so your response of I would be the first to go would indeed be correct). I personally have been dragging the station quality down as I am indeed the worst culprit for this by such a distance that it makes the whole universe look tiny by comparison. I'm going to ask Tim to block booking from my account but keep it open for the purposes of maintaining my blog only, to help keep the station updated on the development of the 1Radio app I'm planning to develop. But no more front-end presenting for me. This should also help drastically improve the station sound as while I have been improving at the uni station, I had stagnated on 1Radio and was just quite simply dragging the quality of the station down as a whole. Let's utilise my talents elsewhere where they can help improve the station image.
Posted by Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11009&BoardID=4 Otto is a good Guy/Gal but I agree, he/she doesn't bring the listeners... When playing after Otto, I have a very slow 1st hour, maybe it's my fault... But I guess it's better to have something than nothing. But the Auto-booking Schedule is looking great now! So 2013 is looking to be a big year for 1Radio! :-)
Posted by DJ Aaron ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11009&BoardID=4 Playing after Auto-DJ is something nobody likes. Is there any chance that we disengage Auto-DJ in prime hours? Meaning if the slot is empty, let's play some pre-recorded sets instead of Auto-DJ and leave the shoutbox open? Or, let Otto play but leave the shoutbox open in prime hours? I know that this was an idea for off-peak hours (night etc), but I think this model is even more important in prime hours to avoid empty slots and closed shoutbox.
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=11009&BoardID=4 I agree Ceejay it will be better. I hate following auto dj as your listeners are very low and you have to build up the listeners all over again and it makes keeping the station fresh if auto keeps being on. I for one have in the past un booked slots but in plenty of time as to allow others the chance to book the slot instead. Ive done the most shows this past year and a bit so if we can get more presenters to commit to a slot then the station will grow stronger every day. Here's to the number 1 web station 1Radio.or MERRY XMAS ALL

Really enjoyed the entire two hours. Good to see a busy shoutbox and a superbly prepared show. I have seen Club 80s grow over the months and this is the result of hard work and dedication. Congratulations on the 500th show, this can only get bigger and better.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10943&BoardID=4 After following AutoDJ again because of a last minute unbooking, I for one can't wait for this rule to kick in. I assume if a moderator needs to cancel the slot, irrelevant of how many hours before the slot is due, a credit will be lost! I am tired of booking slots to fill the schedule just to have to follow AutoDJ. The person responsible has done this a few times so obviously knows days before hand they can't do the slot, so why wait a few minutes before their first hour before they unbook? Had this slot been vacant the day before someone else may have taken it or I could have prepared a two hour show. These new rules will hopefully filter out the time wasters and leave those of us who love 1radio to continue and grow.

Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10995&BoardID=3 CONTINUED FROM POST ABOVE ... I have listened to Spike's show on two occasions and was highly entertained, but I knew what to expect ... maybe the explicit lyrics on Rhodder's show just came unexpectedly which provoked the comments. I actually posted a 'tongue in cheek' comment on the Shoutbox during the show about it, proving I wasn't offended nor minded such a song, whatever the DJ chooses is fine by me. We could all say 'very nice, good, well done, perfect' etc. but Rhodders specifically asked for comments and viewpoints on the show, so I was giving a genuine reply, not telling him what to do.
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10926&BoardID=4 Some great comments there, Spike. Like I've said before, if you're not happy with your show, then you will have to change things for the better because, if you're not happy, then listeners won't be either. On the 'Explicit lyrics' point, I wasn't saying that I didn't think any show should not play music with such lyrics but, rather, at that point in Rhodders show, three people sat listening with me were surprised that a song with explicit lyrics was suddenly playing in the middle of a 'chat' show. The people who commented may only listen to BBC Radio 1 or Radio 2 or listen to Now That's What I Call Music CDs, I really don't know but I just commented on that particular show as that what Rhodders asked us to do in his original post.

I have to say I think 1 hour of this brain wrenching stuff is awesome, 2 hours, I found didn't keep my attention. Now this is not because it was crap, just I had no interest in the subject. These types of specialist programmes/topics are a super challenge for anyone. Your execution of what I have heard is very good. No one knows your show better than yourself and if you feel its not ticking all the boxes for you then do something about it! Which is what you have done. I know from past experiences and chats with you that listener numbers aren't the bee all and end all with you. Quality presenters always shine through matey, and long may you reign. And as for the comment about explicit lyrics......I could open Pandora's box on that subject, you do whats best for your shows Rhodders, thing is you can't say you haven't got experience now cause I know better!! Spike
Posted by Spike Hammond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10926&BoardID=4 Rhodders, I found the show interesting and entertaining. The only negative was the fact that you asked a lot of (very interesting) questions about the subject but there wasn't enough time to get responses in from the listener. I know you asked for people to Skype you but replies were forthcoming (in amongst the wise-cracks, but that all adds to the fun) on the Shoutbox. A second hour could have been filled by replies and your reaction to the replies, I feel. It's all down to listener numbers, I suppose whereby the more listening, the more responses you'd get. Presentation-wise it was brilliant, I like your witticisms and the way you put points across ... this makes your show worth listening to alone. I don't think you should play explicit lyric music, though, this is very off-putting as it isn't targeting the people who are partaking nor the subject matter. This isn't getting at your show but just reaction from others who were listening with me. Overall, though, a great format!
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10926&BoardID=4 For those of you who have managed to listen the last two weeks how have you been finding the show being cut to an hour?

I feel the quality of the shows has increased as a result.

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10959&BoardID=3 Well done DJ Westy. I'm a fairly recent newcomer and did start to use WLNM feature with two submissions and a third was on the way from a popluar local band where I can see how this made a Unique Selling Proposition for 1Radio as no other online stations are doing such a feature. But we have to ask, why not. Probably because of the time effort and promotion required to make it work. Without support through advertising or some kind of cash injection, a project like this would take tons of time and dedication from the person running it. It sounds like it ran for almost a year before the plug was pulled. I do like the idea but, for the listener, the same chart each week, but in a slightly different order, is not good listening so I can see why Tim and Ian have decided to stop the feature. Keep the ideas coming, though, let's not be too disheartened as we have a good number of DJs and, it seems, most full of ideas and suggestions so in 2013 we will, no doubt, try something different.
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10958&BoardID=3 CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS POST Mr Wrigley explained it to a friend while travelling on a train, when asked, "Why do you keep advertising all the time when your chewing gum company are the biggest and wealthiest in the world… surely, you don't need to keep advertising?". To which Mr Wrigley replied, "Think about this train we are travelling on for a moment. If you took the steam engine away and just left the carriages, we'd slow down and eventually stop, which would happen to our business if we stopped advertising so, we keep the engine attached and keep the momentum going forever". Why not let each DJ promote their own show in any way that they can? It's better that 1Radio benefits from 1% of 100 people's efforts than 100% of 1 person's efforts, isn't it? 1Radio can always feature some guidelines as to how to promote your show in other ways (using additional ideas from the DJs themselves, as well, of course). 1Radio already provides a promotional page here on site.
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10856&BoardID=7 I've been involved with marketing for many years, especially online marketing and, one thing is for sure, marketing is an ongoing thing that needs to be done month in, month out and not just 'every now and again'. For every idea that is put forward to promote something, there is always a volley of negative replies saying why it CAN'T be done rather than positive replies saying why it CAN be done. This happens in all niches, not just radio broadcasting. I promote what I call 'No cost, Low Cost' marketing for many of my customers as they simply can't afford to continually market their business. However, it's been proven that those who continue to advertise during a recession always come out of it with double or even triple the profits of those who cut back or stop. Any momentum 1Radio gains from promotions will only last while the promotions are ongoing … as soon as they stop, the momentum will slow down and stop. CONTINUED BELOW

Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10959&BoardID=3 Just to clarify, WLNM is not staying on 1R so dont invest time in posters or other promotion. Thanks.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10958&BoardID=3 Yes its a shame the chart is finishing but as Tim said there has been a lack of new artists in the chart of late and its become a bit stale. I Just wanted to say a big thanks to Tim for giving me the oppertunity to do the chart and ive loved doing it and thanks to all that made some sort of input to the chart and all the people that voted. If anyone is willing to maybe take this on with a fresh idea that could maybe what the chart needs then let Tim know if you can come up with something Tim might keep it going. Sometimes a change is for the better.!! Thanks Again all !!!
Posted by DJWesty ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10958&BoardID=3 I agree Ceejay. It's a shame to see it go, that's all. As like you said, it was a great concept. I would have considered it 1Radio's USP. It gave us that edge over other stations.
Posted by Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10958&BoardID=3 Regarding the whole people turning up and booking slots. I'll be the first to admit I've been slacking off, but I've got my own person reasons for that which I won't go into here. I agree that should be sorted out as well, and I'm sure we can easily discuss solutions for that in a separate thread. @Will: You were the first presenter that came into my head that has been really significant to 1Radio, hence why I came up with an idea around your show. That's not to say I won't help promote other DJs, as I am more than happy to, I was just using yours as an example.
Posted by Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10856&BoardID=7 I agree with Will. I shall go further and suggest that we should be actively trying to recruit new presenters. This will make all the difference. It had a few people join recently and their fresh enthusiasm has really helped. J Squires and Martin come to mind. Maybe we could try get people we know to join as well as just appealing to the world in general.
Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10856&BoardID=7 Daniel, your thoughts on this are I'm sure appreciated, and it certainly is from me when you even consider promoting my show for me, however, right now at the 1 we need to get back to absolute basics from within first. By that, I mean booking shows, being prepared, turning up for them, and in general being more reliable and committed than we currently are, without even contemplating time consuming and cost associated external promotional ideas.
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10856&BoardID=7 There was no one really playing the submitted music so I can see why this decision has been made. I also noticed despite the great numbers voting, the listener figures weren't a reflection of these numbers and only a handful of artists bothered to tune in to see how their music was doing. The concept was a good one but like all things, it had it's limitations.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10958&BoardID=3 Ok, following on from Tim's post about WeLoveNewMusic closing down, I had a couple of ideas generated. For example, one idea I've had for a more general poster was "Keep calm and listen to 1Radio.org". Which would then have QR codes and links, to our Facebook, Twitter, website, etc. Also, if Tim could link up some DJ pages etc, we could then get DJ advertisements going. Perhaps another poster which is like "Enjoy the club 80s? Then you'll love Will on 1Radio.org" with a link to his DJ page. There are so many opportunities available here and we could easily grab attention with it. I've done a Digital Media course so I've had some experience with this sort of stuff, but I'm happy to work alongside Tim (who's just fantastic at this), and anyone else who wants to help out. Just as an FYI, my choice of software is Adobe InDesign CS4.
Posted by Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10856&BoardID=7 I know when a local band I knew about had an album, I sent them here. I haven't heard anything about their music since then. Unfortunately, I think WLNM was going to stall unless we had a way to get proper advertising out there. If I could get interest in getting posters up and around our local areas I would happily try and create some designs. Similar to how I was going to advertise just 1Radio, I'm wondering if we were to keep it open if we could also design some WeLoveNewMusic posters (tailored specifically towards the bands, encouraging them to upload their music). I'm gonna put my poster ideas I've just had into my own thread about posters and flyers.
Posted by Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10958&BoardID=3 "playing music nobody else plays" has been a promo of mine, which I still regularly use, for around 2 years now, Ceejay. And CoJo, no KW, sorry. Plenty other gems though. Thanks guys :)
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10943&BoardID=4 Sad, but predictable, Tim. Thanks for the effort put in by all concerned.
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10958&BoardID=3 Hey guys, I haven't been able to broadcast for a few weeks now, and I just want to apologise. My intention when starting at The 1 was to have a regular slot, but I've had a double whammy of tech problems and unavoidable commitments to deal with. The tech stuff seems to be pretty much sorted - New laptop, and I've even got a wee USB mixer ^_^ However, I've had a heap of work to do lately and I have absolutely no free time, which means I've had to cut back more and more on the things I *want* to do (playlisting & DJing) to make way for the stuff I *have* to do (university study and two part-time jobs). And this makes me a sad Peff. I'm hoping that I can do a few shows over the Christmas period, though, and after my exams in January I *should* have some free time again, so I hope to get back into the weekly groove. Thanks for the support so far, guys, you'll be hearing from me soon!
Posted by DJ PK ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10959&BoardID=3 WLNM is finishing at the end of the month. Very few people are contributing and the same songs dominate the chart from week to week. Despite tracks getting several hundred votes each week (which suggests theres a strong listener appetite for new music), presenters dont have the same enthusiasm for uploading new music. Thanks to Westy who has run the show for the best part of a year.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10958&BoardID=3 Didn't see many songs I actually know but was enough that I like to vote for. A lot of the artists I have heard of though.

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10921&BoardID=4 Rhodders, I know what you mean when you say listener numbers aren't an issue but, at the same time, all the effort and time you put in needs to be recognised. What better way than to get a good number of regular listeners, which is what I strive for on Monday's. This makes everything worthwhile. I understand that it's good experience putting together a show such as yours and always admire you for doing it. You make it sound easy but it's very difficult to make it work, especially live. You say that the second hour drags? Why is this … listeners not participating or you feeling down about the show itself? Wouldn't, say, 20 regular listeners make you want to do two hours every week? If not, then the problem may lay somewhere else. If having 20 regular listeners every single week does give you the buzz, then it IS a listener issue.

Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10945&BoardID=6 Cheers guys Mark, thanks very much. Cutting it down to an hour will hopefully force me to be more focused with the discussions and keep more to the central topic. However I dare say tangents will still arise! oh and its "Plato's" Cave :P http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_Cave Martyn, listener Numbers are really not an issue. I'm very grateful for the support everyone has shown this strange new venture of mine. I think I just personally dissatisfied with it and it is also becoming too much work. I can do a 2 hour entertainment/ breakfast format show but 2 hours of factual content takes a lot of work. Sometimes it feels like am reading more from this show than I did for any of my uni essays! :P Listening back I just don't think it's as good as it can be. I don't think I do some of the topics justice. It's a case of quality over quantity. I shall try an hour and see what happens.

Posted by Gaz Evans ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10921&BoardID=4 Hi, I've tried twice recently to takeover a slot that has been abandoned for whatever reason where, rather than have an hour of no DJ, I thought I'd do a live show. However, there is no option of taking over the slot. There is an 'In Progress' message but no DJ is on. Is this a fault or does this option not always appear? I am able to quickly jump in on some occasions, hopefully to keep the listener listening and for continuity, of course, but it's not working right now. Any clues, anyone?

Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10926&BoardID=4 Hey thanks to you guys for playing my trails. Really appreciate it.
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10849&BoardID=8 I must confess to not listening each week although I have listened in and also heard your Podcast. I find that you must be able to measure something as, if you can't, how do you know if it's working or not? Today I tested out a two hour show instead of my usual one hour and, like you, found the second hour lost all momentum, ie, hardly any requests (in this case) whereas the first hour was choca block with them. So I will now only do one hour on a Friday. I'm putting this down to the fact that my listeners listen during their break time hour and so can make adjustments accordingly. In your case, however, it may not be as easy to know why the second hour is dragging. Is the content not keeping the listener listening? Are you, personally, getting fed up? Is it down to promoting the show so more people know about it? Once you know the answer, you'll make the right decision.
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10926&BoardID=4 I'm a fan of palatos cave!

Some nights I feel like the 2nd hour drags. If I feel that love me and goodness knows how it must be for the listeners! It's a case of quality over quantity.

How about everyone sending in a couple of hundred word articles about how their show started, the ideas behind it, what drives you to present it, when it airs and anything else about it that would interest other readers?

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10885&BoardID=4 Hello, as you can tell by the subject title, I'm here to talk to you about an update on my Saturday morning show. So since the end of July 2011, I've been doing my main show between 6am and 8am every Saturday morning, warming up for the dream team with some of the best modern-day dance music around. However, towards the end of this year, I've become frequently ill which I believe is due to being sleep deprived; but carried on regardless, cause I loved the slot I was doing and the buzz it gave me to start my weekend. But because it's getting worse up to the point where I'm almost constantly feeling sick, I've had to compromise; and so starting Saturday, I will be doing just 1 hour shows, starting at 7am. I have really enjoyed the 2 hours every Saturday, and I hope that the 1 hour is just as good, if not better, and hope that those up early enough will join me from 7am. From Adam :)

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10858&BoardID=3 Oh yes, I couldn't resist it … I'm trialling a new programme which I've entitled 'Vinyl Impressions' in order to make use of the thousands of vinyl records on my play-listings here on 1Radio. I have been trying out the request format, using the list, on 'The Vinyl Frontier - At Your Request' and it seems to be going down fairly well. So, to this end, I thought of presenting a vinyl show but without the requests, instead, playing the songs that are unlikely to be requested (due to the fact that they were not big hits and, therefore, not well known) and would give most listeners the chance to hear some of the vinyl records, perhaps for the first time or to hear tracks that are just not played very often. I must clear up one thing, though, these are vinyl records that have been recorded onto my hard drive digitally from the original vinyl pressing, just so that I can have them in a database to enable me to actually broadcast them. Read more on the blog.
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10857&BoardID=4 So I'm thinking, one way to increase our exposure might be to collaborate on posters about the station that we can then stick around our local areas. Same with flyers for handing out to people. I've been playing around with a QR scanner for my Android. One of the features lets me create QR codes for deployment. There is no reason why I couldn't create a few for people to be able to scan in using their smartphone or tablet. The only caveats I can think of are, we will require a vastly improved mobile site, and not everyone has a smartphone. But it should really help exposure. What are everyone's thoughts on this? I can create a skydrive or Google drive for this.

I have been bogged down with work for my 'old job' over this last month and then I started a new job this week, I did have some time off which turned into 'unusable' time off so I am very dissapointed to say that I haven't begun working on the Christmas Song yet. 1st December was the deadline and I unfotunetely won't be able to produce the song by then and I am quite disappointed with my self. With this work change I (until the new year) barely have enough time to prepare for a show... I may be able to get it done by very late December, but I don't think it would be worth much by then. Is there anyone that wants to take the Christmas Song Production Batten from me and run with the idea? I could send this person all of the clips that I have gotten from people and find a brief 5 mins to record mine? I would be so grateful to anyone that could help! Regards, Aaron

Posted by Gaz Evans ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10825&BoardID=3 Sorry Rhodders, I was asking a question as a new one here. You are right, as also others are, everyone of you wrote something that is useful. Everyone should concentrate to his own show and have fun above all. But I also think that there's nothing wrong with just thinking how to improve both show and radio. I was just curious to hear how do all you think about it. Now I have better idea what to do. Because, beside the show, there's always something more I can do. Thank you all, for your time and answers! Alek
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10802&BoardID=7 The point I was making is that people should just concentrate on making their shows good rather than worrying about everything else on the station. Sorry P but making people real addition sounds like a bad idea that could lose use DJs and make the schedule even more empty. Make sure your show is good then worry about promoting it. On the promotion side, do use social media but use it well. Ask interesting questions, use appropriate hash tags. If you have a special guest make sure they post about your show. Most importantly don't expect results overnight promotion can take a while so be patient work hard and above all have fun! 1Radio's not a job its a hobby.
Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10802&BoardID=7 I think it all depends on why the DJ is doing this in the first place. At first it just might be 'To be on the radio like real DJs' or maybe you've got a brilliant record collection about a genre you're really into and would just like to let other people hear it. Maybe you'd like to be a producer so this would be a good chance to get some experience. It's so cheap and easy, I call it 'Low Cost, No Cost', to get onto Internet radio, so it attracts almost anybody to have a go at it. It might be to make the DJ feel famous as people are tuning in and listening to their show. Whatever the reason, it's nice to have some listeners. There are plenty of ways to gain listeners but you must first think about this. Why should they listen to you? What have you got to offer? What's in it for them? .

I am one of those that believe Will has created and managed a 'Brand', and that is not a criticism, but I do think that WIll is being modest and economical with the part his use of 'Social Networking' has been to the success of 'Club 80's' We have the 1Radio.org FB Page, we can and should 'ping' from the DJ Console when 'On Air' and keep striving to make the programmes 'different'... so many stations operate on 'Auto DJ with Liners'..... so do the prep and make your programmes unique, but entertaing and don't focus too tightly on a 'Target' audience.... anyway just my thoughts

The only bit that “The Temrinator” movies got wrong is that Skynet realised that humans have 4000 years of combat experience and have become very, very good and winning wars and blowing stuff up. Skynet therefore realised hthat the only real way to win was not all out war, but to frustrate us all to death instead, and so Skynets insidious plan for our extermination began.
Posted by DJ Ghost ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10814&BoardID=6 Thanks for the help, guys. My PC recently exploded, so my girlfriend let me borrow her laptop at short notice. The problem was, she decided to try and be helpfuk and create a user account just for me, and used that to install SAM. Turns out, Windows 7 will block the connection if you aren't running as admin :P But when I logged into the shoutbox I was thrown by the 'stream down' message (plus googling the error code turned up lots of advice along the lines of 'restart the server') Soooo, I quickly hopped over to my own decrepit laptop and fired up Mixxx so that I could get SOMETHING broadcast, although it's very slow and chuggy and not great quality... While that was streaming, I re-installed SAM on the Win 7 laptop as admin and then swapped over... Phew. Our robot overlords really have it in for me... Despite all the pro-digital propaganda I broadcast for them...
Posted by DJ PK ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10814&BoardID=6 the problem was on presenter side. when the dj is due to start, autodj is off - shoutcast always says "server down" when no one is broadcasting. its not an error message. its just means its waiting for the dj. regarding hitting panic button - my suggestion is first to... - go to broadcast settings page and make sure you have the right password in your encoder - click password reset link - this will ensure the shoutcast server has the same password as you (sometimes the switch over doesnt happen but its rare) - if you still cannot connect then request mod help - the mod will repeat the force password reset if the problem persists its probably on your side unfortunately. - reboot your router - restart your broadcast software - close all other unwanted programs

Posted by DJ PK ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10814&BoardID=6 We seem to have a lot of threads that end up on this sort of topic! I have been here a while and I will say this- "keep calm and carry on". Don't worry, encourage one another by tuning in and just do your show! After all that is why we are all here. Things have actually picked up a bit as of late thanks to a few enthusiastic new comers. Things are not that bad, in fact things are rather good.
Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10802&BoardID=7 I'm just wondering if we also need to start upping the quality of presenters. That also means the long-term presenters who aren't good enough (to hand I can only think of myself, but there's probably more), are simply removed. Then they re-apply as a fresh DJ once their standard of quality has gone up. Or, presenters like me that don't have a set time slot yet just become filler-only "interim DJs" that only book a slot at longest 12 hours before it is due, and takeover if they have the premium service. This will allow our premium presenters such as Will to have their normal slots, and DJs like me to help pad out the station.
Posted by Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10802&BoardID=7 6. My show is about one genre. I'd say I'm pretty knowledgable about my favoured genre, and because of that I leave the rest alone. I'm not a "jack of all trades". 7. Because of all of that, as I was told, Club 80s has become a bit of a brand. Club 80s is Club 80s, it's not 1Radio's Club 80s. That said, I broadcast excusively here, so as not to dilute my show, and personally I think Tim deserves that. I'm passionate about 1Radio. Empty slots, late cancellations, no shows and general apathy for the place is at best unfair, at worst, rude! What success I have is based on working very hard at my show. Opinions and discussion? There's some.....and I'd appreciate more!
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10802&BoardID=7 2. I keep my shows to 2-3 a week. Why? Becasue I want to stay fresh and be prepared. I want the listener to want more, knowing when I'm available. Quality is better than quantity for me. 3. I involve my listeners, and that doesn't just me requests. My shows are fully interactive, asking listeners for requests, favourites, Top 10s, mixes, anything that stirs an emotion and attracts people's attention. That is reflected in 2 recent additions to 1Radio who first listened to Club 80s. 4. Yes, I tweet and I have facebook. I have set up a specific facebook page that is speciifc to Club 80s, the radio show and has nearly 150 members. I am constantly on the page updating, discussing, suggesting, recommending my show and the further 1Radio community. 5. I use Mixcloud to allow listener's to listen back, and I currently have nearly 120 peoplle following me.
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10802&BoardID=7 Firstly, I must say I admire the enthusiam that particularly Alek and Martyn have shown since they arrived a few weeks ago. From a 1Radio Map to a 1Radio newsletter, to a very decent level of support across the station. Many longer term presenters could learn from their enthusiasm and support. These topics have been discussed before. How do we get more listeners, how do we get more presenters, how do we perform more professionally? This may not be the answer for everyone, and it certainly isn't a "I know best", but it is an attempt to give people a bit of food for thought. Here's what I do..... 1. I have 2 regular slots a week. My show has NEVER not been presented. I've never done a no-show, I've never been late, and I'm nearing 500 shows. If I'm not available, I'll get somebody to sit in. What does that do? It brings consistency and continuity for the listener. I'm relaible, so they become reliable in return.
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10802&BoardID=7 I have had to cancel my Thursday Night Show for Next Week (22nd).

Posted by DJ Aaron ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10808&BoardID=3 I agree it's quite full in the evenings, but that's only 8/9 hours of a 24 hour day, therefore, we still have 15 hours left over to fill per day during weekdays, and thus more work needs to be done on this
Posted by Adam ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10802&BoardID=7 Tim, from one point of view you're right. But I think that 1R schedule is NOT empty, it is quite full in the evenings. As a new DJ here, I must admit that one of the reasons why I joined 1R crew is the large number of great DJs playing all music styles. I certanly missed a large part of 1R history, and I would love to hear your opinion now, tell us/me how are you satisfied with current situation? What would be your target/wish in 2013? I know many people who are excellent in music, but they are mostly wannabe DJs who are afraid to use microphone 'cause they think it would ruin their technical mixing skills. Besides, English is not their native language so they feel inferior when listening to other UK/USA DJs. If you have an idea how to encourage them, I will try to attract them to 1R.
Posted by Alek ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10802&BoardID=7 Makes sense to me. Then I guess I would say that, I do 2 regular shows each week at round about the same time. :)
Posted by DJ Ghost ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10802&BoardID=7 Promotion, FB posts etc are all good. But what the station needs are presenters doing shows. What's the point in promoting an empty schedule? We have a strong loyal core of presenters who do shows each week. They are consistent, reliable and prep for entertaining, informed and professional shows. I'd much rather spend time and effort to promote those shows and bring more listeners in for them in order to recognise and enjoy their efforts. For the less regular presenters, let's work on helping them to commit to more frequent shows and encourage them to support the station. This is where effort would be better expended in my view. Discuss. :)

Tim's (Admin)'s opinion is highly welcome :) We are all busy and have not much time outside 1R, but hope everyone of us can spend 5-10 minutes a week to imrove gossip about 1R: A: It seems to me that 1R facebook page need more posts from all of us. Tim, are we allowed to post on 1R FB page about particular shows, make posts etc... If yes, let's start with this and we'll see how it goes up in few weeks, it will be interesting. B: Christmas / New Year is coming, Aaron has a great idea, let's promote it also outside 1R site. Let's spread the story on FB... :) C: Many DJs have own FB pages, let's collect them all @ one place (for example in "About" section on 1R FB page). Use links for 1R DJ Map, and keep growing!

Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10748&BoardID=6 Will, we are talking about installing 1R Widget on someone's website. This widget shows "Now Playing info" + with it you can listen to 1R without having to visit 1R site. Before, when somebody eneters the site, player started playing music automatically and that could be annoying to somebody. Now, you can choose whether the player will play automatically, or be in "stop" mode and somebody can click to play. Simple as that :) It's a pitty that both options now does not include DJ's referral link and if somebody enters the 1R site through these widgets, the refferal visits will count to Admin :)

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10748&BoardID=6 Alek, some good points there. I did offer to make a regular newsletter but, by all accounts, everyone loses interest after the first one or two publications. This is because the DJs are very busy during their time off air so, to make it possible, it would need to be a quarterly publication, I imagine, in order for it not to become a chore to put any input forward each time. Content needs to be interesting and encourage others to participate. I would like to see a newsletter to see how it fares over the weeks and months.

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10701&BoardID=6 Now, I'm fortunate in that if crap hits the fan, I could probably pull something out of nowhere using my HTC Windows Phone as the router. Sure, it wouldn't be the best, and I strongly ill-advise using your phone for presenting a radio show, but it could be done. Xbox Music Pass is a godsend lol. As is having a laptop running Windows 8. But still, I hear of nothing but problems with Virgin Media, yet Sky seem to cause us little to no trouble.

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10724&BoardID=6 Hi Guys, Kinda off topic, but I'm sure there are some of you that are good with this kinda thing. Basically, Once upon a time we had music in our shop at work. There are 4 speakers in the roof, which were connected to some sort of amp and then a hard-drive. When Iceland decided that the licence was too much to pay they had the amp and hard-drive removed. The speakers are still there and a mystery cable. This is the only cable as far as I can see that runs to the speakers. http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/553993_483321345023586_2062494098_n.jpg Looking at that, it looks more like it belongs in a wall socket! I think it might have belonged into the back of the amp, but I really have no clue and am out of my music technology depth! I'm looking to get it all back working again as im setting up 'Iceland Instore Radio' for the month of December and would be trying to use the existing speakers there. If any could shed any light on this at all it would be greatly appreciated =]

Posted by DJ Aaron ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10576&BoardID=3 Ok Gang, It is now 30 Days until the end of November. The 1Radio DJ Christmas Track has to be completely recorded and produced by 1st December for a Special Show! I believe that the Christmas Song we will do, as it is quite good, is **DRUM ROLLLLLLLL** Shakin’ Stevens – Merry Christmas Everyone. This was suggested by DJ PK and I agree. So where to go now, well as the logistics of 1Radio are of the fact that everyone is is completely different places, we will need to record everything separate. So I suggest that each of you record, without music, your version of the song, below is the version, youtube video and lyrics. Once you have recorded your bit send it to my email address info@djaaron.co.uk and I shall produce the entire thing ready for an Exclusive First Play on 1Radio on 1st December, when it will be added to the WLNM List and will of course be available for all 1Radio DJ’s to play on their shows.
Posted by DJ Aaron ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10576&BoardID=3 If you like Windows 8, that's great but any OS that stopped my SAM from working would make be go back to, or have a separate partition/computer with Win7 or Vista on it so that I could still broadcast. Most vendors give weak support for new operating systems at first, at least until the take up is decent. I, like yourself, was an early adopter of any new OS as I always wanted the latest thing but, over the years, it's taught me to hang fire due to the very issues that you are experiencing with it. .

Posted by Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10701&BoardID=6 Have you tried running SAM in compatibility mode?

May be worth a try before spending money on new software.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10701&BoardID=6 Please be aware that DJ Seat Licences apply to version 4.x of SAM Broadcaster on Win7 or earlier. Version 4.x of SAM doesnt work on the new Win8 o/s. Spacial audio will be launching a new version of SAM next year for Win8. Your DJ seat licence will NOT be valid for new versions of SAM as Spacial have introduced a new pricing and licencing model for future versions of SAM. The current model will no longer apply. If you remain on SAM 4 and Win7 (or earlier), then your DJ Seat Licence is unaffected and will continue to work as normal with an updated code every quarter. If you plan to upgrade to Win8 and/or use the next version of SAM, your existing DJ seat licence will no longer work and you will need to purchase a new DJ Seat Licence or purchase a full copy of SAM. I do not plan to offer new DJ seat licences for the new SAM version unless there is sufficient demand. Thanks Tim

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10652&BoardID=7 I agree about takeover at the top of the hour, I also don't know ahy it happens at xx:58. About clean takeover. Before 1R I was working on a radio which was able to have clean takeovers (which rarely happended however :)) Meaning, takeovers were managed by admin (human) through SAM while DJs was logging with password on different ports. This way, or that way, sync is not an easy task beacuse of stream delay. Workaround solution is that DJ who start the set plays a music sample in loop (like I do) while he is confident that listeners catch his stream and then start talking, or play some long jingle or music pattern before 1st song. I think it is good enough. About stream start. I click Winamp CONNECT about 1 minute before my timer comes to 0:00 and check retry every 1 second. So it can not connect while previous DJ is on, but it connects at about 6 seconds after timer is 0:00 and this happens automatically. Fine with me... But... whatever you decide, not a really big issue...

Posted by Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10630&BoardID=3 I have a middle-man idea. You use a dynamic generated password to stream to a transcoder, which will mix to either the human DJ if they're on, and if not, it cues out to AutoDJ. This mixed stream then encodes to the main encoder which is on 24/7. That way, our passwords can work as normal but to the middle-man transcoder. Either that or perhaps a button for the next DJ on that disconnects the connection being streamed currently and blocks it for 5 minutes or so, so that the next DJ has time to get on. After the TOTH has gone so that it becomes their show. Perhaps this could work?

Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10652&BoardID=7 A growing number of listeners are using 'other' devices to listen in, not just their desktop PCs or Laptop computers. On the hour they all lose connection and have to retune in various ways, from tuning AWAY from 1Radio and then back in again to swithcing off their unit and powering up again ... this is the only way they can get the 'new' hour of programming. We have to think about the listener here and not just us DJs. Yes, it's a change and people just don't like change, do they? I'm all for a smoother switchover and where we stop losing some listeners every hour because they don't know how to get back to us or simply won't. 1Radio is a wonderful automated system but the old-fashioned switch over system makes us look poor. I would love to try this for a few weeks to prove it's the answer. Finally, there must be something that can be done if a DJ refuses to switch off their stream at the correct time. Our monitor guy could boot them off, couldn't they?

Posted by Sean ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10632&BoardID=6 As a listener I use the HTML 5 player and need to reset the player when a new show starts, But I think some presenters will not remember to stop the encoder at xx:58 as hearing some shows they will play a last song and let the encoder cut off. As a presenter I see it as a good idea I time my show so it ends when it should end or sometimes a bit before and knowing a smooth change over will make the flow of the station that much better for the listener. I am all for a trail of it Tim I am all for a trial of it
Posted by Sean ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10652&BoardID=7 Like Will, I rarely have any issues with Passwords and when I do it is easily fixed at the top of the hour. I find listeners do hang around for a few minutes if you drop a note in the shoutbox explaining you can't connect. I like the current system and one hint is to wait until the countdown reaches 0 count to 6 and start encoding. This works well for me, although if the timer is out I do lose a few seconds off the start of the show, usually a part of a jingle. Most shows I have listened to seem to connect fine, there is always a difference in lag depending how far away you are from the shoutcast, it averages at 20 seconds in the UK. I like things as they are to be honest.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10652&BoardID=7 Given the nature of how booking works on 1Radio, I would say that it WOULDN'T work. While I'm all for a trial period, I do have concerns. But if we trial it, it'll be interesting to see how it pans out.
Posted by Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10652&BoardID=7 Sounds great. Can I put a thought in and say - What about a reminder on the corner of the DJ Shoutbox, just a reminder to say, stop encoding at such and such? Cause some may have habits and let it run by mistake.
Posted by Kieran Harvey ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10652&BoardID=7 As much as I have bemoaned the lack of a clear takeover in another post, Tim, it is not a major deal to me. In all my 1Radio broadcasts, I've only ever had minimal bother with log-ins/passwords etc and so am happy with the current set up. That said, if the majority are happy to change and it is an easier workload for you, let's trial it :)
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10652&BoardID=7 I'm happy to trial run this for, say, a week/2 weeks just to get a feel of how this would, and see if it does work :)
Posted by Adam ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10652&BoardID=7 I've been trying out the wavestreaming autodj solution. It works well on my other station since we all broadcast from a fixed studio/software with a set password. When no one is live, the autodj kicks in. when a live show starts, autodj cross fades to the live show. listeners are never cut off and the transition is smooth. it works well because presenters connect to an intermediate server - not the actual shoutcast server we stream from. the autodj acts like a relay. when a dj is live, autodj relays the dj stream to the shoutcast server. when the dj disconnects, it relays its own automated playlist. the only downside is that it would be a hefty manual task to maintain every individual dj and their password. you would also have to manually manage the slots as well. this is too much of a headache for a site like 1R where booking, slots, passwords etc are all managed automatically. this makes using this on 1R a chore. HOWEVER we could use this approach, if we all used the same password to stream with. this would require a good deal of trust in each other. that people would indeed begin broadcasting when they are scheduled to and switch off when they should so that the next person could take over the slot. this would be a much more reliable solution, we could switch shows seamlessly at the top of the hour and invalid passwords etc would be a thing of the past. however, it does require a good deal of trust and mutual support. is this community sufficiently mature and trustworthy enough to do that? your (polite) thoughts below please...
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10652&BoardID=7 Takeover on webradios is ALWAYS a tricky point. Stream delay is physically something that you can't compete against and be sure, regardless of any timers you have. I am new on 1R (just one show) but from previous experience, this is my solution. I'll explain although my equipment is quite specific and maybe this will not help you all. When I enter the show I play my first song in a loop. I select music intro of the 1st song, 4/8/16 beats long and play it in a seamless loop. The other laptop I use ONLY for preview and chat. So, when I hear my music on preview laptop I know for sure that I'm ON-AIR. At that point I start talking and go out of loop and song develops furhter. This means that all people who listen will have to listen to my loop for 15-30 seconds and then comes my voice. Good enough, I think...

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10572&BoardID=4 As Jonathan just mentioned there is a timer on the Dash board. As well as telling you when your slot is about to end it can also tell you how long until your sort begins. You just have to access your dashboard early by going to the "Your Current & Forthcoming Shows" page. Selecting the show and then click "now playing page" to view the dashboard and timer. As soon as I connect I usually play a long jingle, it's a remix of the bbc news theme with lots of one radio IDs in it. That hopefully gives people enough time to be reconnected. I then play a song before my opening jingle..

Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10608&BoardID=3 Not sure about the starting protocol, but I can explain the way in which I at least end. I finish all my shows with one song (oasis - whatever) this is 6:20 in total, however from about 6:07 onwards it is just fading cheering. Therefore I rely on the 'Timer' on the 'Now Playing' page on the DJ account side. When this reads 6:05 I start the track. Then I let it play out. If the timer is a few seconds out, which it regularly is, all that is playing is the cheering at the end of the track and not the middle of a track, or worse dead air. I hope this helps. JS

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10606&BoardID=3 Will, I think 1Radio can be back to how things were (as I'm told) because, ratings-wise, we are very close to some very well established and popular Internet radio stations judging by Shoutcast.com It's the commitment and reliability that counts. I do know of a station that is 24/7 but mostly with output from the same 3 DJs lol 1Radio has a host of fantastic presenters and they seem very, very keen as well. It's definitely getting exciting in here. .

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10632&BoardID=6 @ Martin - We have a very similar work pattern, maybe even the same jobs ;) On the Global DJ point, we currently have DJ's from US, Europe and Australia. In the past we have had this and more with DJ's broadcasting from Canada, The Phillipines and beyond :) Maybe in time and with some good promotion from within, it'll not be long before we're back to where we were and more :)
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10607&BoardID=3 Me too as I very rarely get the timings correct. FWIW, I start my encoder at .58.10 secs and play a couple of generic promos. 20/30 secs later, I know I'm live and being heard and so will play more appropriate promos or start my show. If the track does not show up in the shoutbox, go to "more" in the DJ booth and manually input the track. It then shows up to the listeners. Maybe someone can offer us a better solution.

Posted by Eddie ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10568&BoardID=4 I certainly don't get complacent about listener figures but do enjoy posts from people saying that they are higher, it's very encouraging. Alek, you make an excellent point about reaching people in THEIR daytime hours and where DJs performing in the afternoons here in the UK would address this issue. I work with appointments during the day but will try and book some slots during the afternoon. My problem is that, although I'm not tied to a 9 to 5 job, I really don't know how long any appointment with a potential customer will take and I'd hate to have to work around my business on getting back to the studio (alright, spare room :-) ) and possibly lose a customer. Having said that, I can, due to the nature of my work, try and keep an hour clear to give it a whirl. You make a very valid point. Listeners aren't just from UK, but the world. .
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10607&BoardID=3 Can anyone help with a procedure that makes starting a show cleaner, please? I notice the first track I play doesn't get listed on the playlist that is generated and this could be because the listener only gets to hear it from part-way through. Also, the last track cuts off part-way through as I'm not sure how accurate the timings are between the server and my computer clock. I like to start my show with some personal jingles etc. but these don't go out, just the first track cutting in a few seconds later. This spoils the 'exciting' start, if you get my drift. I have noticed some DJs time this to perfection so, they must be doing something that I'm not figuring out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. .

I have noticed more new bodies in and around the 1 in the evening of late - mind the a.m shows ;) On Alek's point, you are absolutley correct on support from around the globe, and I believe the pick up in some listeners is down to your recent promotion. Thanks for that. I have excellent support from Australia, their evenings are our mornings and so they would be perfect to do shows/listen to 1Radio. To that end, Skerat does his first show Friday @ Noon GMT :) We have had shows on 1Radio, 24/7, Alek, courtesy of the US, Canada etc.....maybe now like you say, some could concentrate their focus on Eastern Europe. I keep getting asked to do an evening show, UK time, as my "target market" could be significant in Mexico!

Posted by Jay Squires ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10568&BoardID=4 Great news! I am also trying to promote 1R as much as I can. It's good to admit that we are all very good, but I would say we should not be too satisfied, but to keep growing. Evening hours are ok now, but let's think about how to improve afternoons. It's normal that DJs from Europe will have shows in the evening and that afternoons will be hard to cover, but we could solve that by including more DJs from Asia (Azerbeijan, China, Korea, Japan). What do you think about this? Their timezones fit with this idea... From my personal experience people from Korea and Japan are very interested in dance/electro music from 80s and 90s... and they are very dedicated to this... Maybe we should find them and involve into 1R...

Didn't have much time during the show to chat with you, so this time I would send my special thanks to people who were there, especially to Aqwave, dj, DJ Ceejay, FingertipPhil, Lord Eddie, ricky rodgers, Sean and Will! Cheers

Posted by Sean ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10552&BoardID=8 Seems like this could be useful for me. I'll probably have a faff around in Dreamweaver too. I've got CS5.5 on my desktop PC. I would want a mobile friendly site. As someone who has designed mobile sites in the past, I could perhaps look into this for you.
Posted by Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10552&BoardID=8 I currently do a mixed genre show on a low listener internet station (usually around 10), but would like to move the show and it's format to something with a few more listeners. The show is called "106.9 The Cheese" and broadcasts just that, mostly music that isn't usually broadcast style (TV themes, cheesy songs, 80's/90's). It's a mix of that music and chat and also fun competitions for either cheap or no prizes (which I run myself and pay for any small prizes). I've been running the show since 2008 and have had quite a loyal following. It is a very niche style where it's my own specific style, a bit like Chris Moyles was. I like being quirky and to get the audience involved and have a giggle. I have run my own SAM software and to a degree the web front end where listeners could choose their own requests. Any advice and would you think it's worth me moving to 1radio? Many thanks and looking forward to your advice/feedback. Jason

I'm currently sat here with Christmas Songs on, I'm preparing some Christmassy Stuff, shows ect for December... I have had an idea, but I need lots of 1Radio DJ's to help out. I am going to produce a 1Radio DJ Christmas Song. It's going to be a standard Christmas Song, to be decided on here. Then you need to each record bits from the song or the whole shabang if you wish and send it to me, info@djaaron.co.uk. The song will be unveiled on December 1st on a 2 Hour Christmas Show... And it can be submitted to Westy's WLNM Chart.... What do you think? We need to discus the song to be used, Last Christmas, Drummer Boy, Band Aid, Fairy Tale of New York, what your thoughts? But I am stupidly festive so I can't wait... Aaron... :-)

Everything happened so fast, I have visited your site, liked it very much and wanted to see it from inside, so I signed up, passed audition and testing (tx to Sean!), and here I am with my first booked slot! First impressions - 1Radio definitely has some spirit, something special that makes it different from other web radios. Technically, the site is fantastic, minimal, clear, fast! During my DJ work I was also selling FM radio software, not a programmer, but I definitelly know what software needs to be good, and I always find something that is missing and not good. Here, on 1R, I can not find anything but PERFECT. I could not imagine what could be better, I'm so impressed! My first slot is on Saturday 13th @ 17:00 UK Time. I'll try to make your feet wanna dance and will be happy if you join me! Does rock music fits together with disco? Well, let's check it together! Ciaoooo... ;) Alek

Posted by Dazzle ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10527&BoardID=3 Hello all! Jonathan Sawyer posted a topic a few weeks ago saying he was pondering the idea of doing a breakfast show, and I am pleased to announce he has decided to go ahead with the idea, & I have decided to accompany him on this new venture! The show will be called "The Breakfast Show, on 1Radio, with Jonathan Sawyer & Thomas Haley", & it will be starting on Monday (8th). We will be on the air 7-9am every weekday morning, with a casual chat & music show, with half-hourly news, sport and weather. We will be doing it for a trial week at first (just in case it is a totally mad idea!) but if it goes well, we plan to carry on. But we have used the "with Jonathan Sawyer & Thomas Haley" bit so that if we need a week off, or if anybody else fancies doing a one-off show to give us a break, the show name stays the same, and the name at the end just changes. We really hope you can support this new show, and can advertise it in your own shows. Trails to be uploaded soon! Thanks, Tom & Jonathan
Posted by Tom ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10530&BoardID=4 So I have a couple of hours free Sunday afternoon between 2-4.

All ya normal bits of stuff, quizzes, reggae, sermon from the mount, loads of new album trax, paper review, riddle of the day and a couple of new features. So if ya free in between lunch and teatime give us a whirl. If not, then watch out for the lightening bolts you sinners!!

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10477&BoardID=7 Hi Martyn Thanks for your willingness to get involved. The issue (no pun intended) is having more than one or two people take this on. I've typically created the newsletter layouts but was dependent on others to submit the actual articles. It started off fairly lively and enthusiastically but in the end, it was down to just a few to people to keep it afloat with content. So, if I may suggest, dont invest time in creating a mockup (the design/layout exists already) but perhaps canvass people to see if they would contribute stuff, suggestions for articles, etc. It would be better to get the involvement side of things sorted before thinking about actually creating something. Hope that makes sense and doesnt dampen your enthusiasm. Thanks Tim
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10477&BoardID=7 I could do a Newsletter every so often if that's any help. I'll send you a sample newsletter that I've mocked up to give an example of what it would look like. I couldn't fill a ton of pages but four, six or eight pages each issue should be quite do-able, I feel. I'll arrange this today.

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10468&BoardID=4 last 1mag was in summer 2011. its just hard to sustain when only the same few people contribute each time.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10477&BoardID=7 Martyn... thanks a lot for this, I do think a guide is needed, iTunes and Tunein are what most people like to use, the mobile app does allow you to interact, but a lot of the people, like me, just want to be listeners and are not really into 'interaction' so telling our audience there is a way to stay with the '1' in their car, or at work or on the move is a great move. I'm going to take your notes and put them in a guide on my website and then create a link I can add into the shoutbox with an on air Promo. Its the question I have to answer the most. Good Piece of work.

Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10455&BoardID=3 Due to lack of people contributing to the mag and the podcasts they were shelved. If you believe you can regain interest and contributions, and then keep them for issue after issue, then by all means discuss with Tim about restarting the mag.

Posted by Adam ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10486&BoardID=6 Hi All, While listening to Colin today, a number of people were concerned as to how to listen to 1Radio on various devices away from their main computers. I have attempted to post some guidelines onto this forum but it only allows so many characters and so I have had to edit them down somewhat ... also the iTunes post is currupted and won't show in the listings for some reason. If anyone would like a PDF of the whole guide, do ask me and I'll send it to you. The listeners may want to view them, too. Thanks, DJ Martyn

Make sure your computer is connected through the internet, then click Radio in the source list to see the internet radio stations available through iTunes. However, these radio stations are controlled by Apple. So, to add 1Radio.org you need to set up an input stream MANUALLY. http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=31562&play_status=1 In iTunes, choose Advanced > 'Open Stream' and add the above address to the URL field. Once your stations are in the iTunes library you may wish to create new playlists that contain them—organized by all the stations you possess (create a Smart Playlist and use Kind Contains Audio Stream to grab them all) or by genre. Although you can’t bring items into Apple’s Radio list, you can copy stations from that list to the playlists you create. Just drag them from the Radio list to do so.

Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10488&BoardID=6 Most major makes of portable Internet Radio receivers have some sort of online portal that you can join after purchasing your device. In this example, let's look at the Pure setup (www.pure.com). Sign in to your online account. Click on your device name (this is set up when you open your account). Then go to the 'Plus' sign (+). Click on 'Add Custom Station'. Enter the STREAMING url of 1Radio.org which is NOT the website url, by the way, this is important. http://spring.wavestreamer.com:8863 The above link is the Streaming URL to save you looking it up. Fill in the rest of the details like Name Of Station, Genre etc. and click 'Save' or 'Update'. Add this new station to your Favourites. If you have more than one device by Pure, add it to those as well. All of this only needs to be done once. Now, back at your Internet Radio device, you can tune into 1Radio.org by simply selecting it from the list in your Favourites folder. Some devices allow you to record programmes.
Posted by DJ Martyn ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10487&BoardID=6 Although there is currently no dedicated App for 1Radio, you can still listen and partake in 1Radio.org from your mobile device. You can even record shows if you want to and play them back later. Smartphone, including iPhone: Downoad the free App 'Tune-In Radio' from the App store. Search for 1Radio from the Tune-In App. When it loads and starts playing, save it to your Favourites. Now, whenever you want to listen, just touch the 1Radio logo in your Favourites. To record a show, press the Record button. 'Tablet' PCs or Apple iPad You can tune in using the above method by using the 'Tune-In Radio' App but that will not allow you to partake on the Shoutboard for each programme being broadcast. You can either use a separate device to use Shoutboard while listening or download the iSwifter App which is a browser that allows you to view Flash over the Internet (something that Apple devices will not allow). Go: www.1Radio.org You will be able to listen AND type into the Shoutboard

Posted by DJ PK ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10448&BoardID=3 Hi All, I would like to say that I have been away soul searching, and brainstorming new show ideas, but that would be a lie. I would like to say that I have been on an exciting holiday and that is why I haven't been around recently, again that would be a lie. The reality is that I just haven't been here. Sorry. I'm back now and would like to pose a question to you! It appears that Mark and Gareth have given up doing the breakfast show of a morning (that is an assumption, sorry if you haven't guys)... which is fine, it is their choice. However it does mean that vast swathes of mornings are going unfilled and I personally would like to do something about that. Here comes the main point/question/plea: how many of you would be interested in helping me get this started, and how many of you would be interested in listening to me on in the mornings? I propose a fun show with people on and games and quizzes and lots of audience participation, but it does mean I need an audience. thanks JS

I am going to be presenting a 'New, Current and Unsigned' Show, I love a bit of New and Unsigned Music and am excited to be able to showcase some of the talent that I already know and some of talent that I am yet to discover. I am going to be doing "In Session With" shows every now and again where I'll have bands with me live for a good gossip and interview and where they will be in the 'Pick the Music' seat! I come from an IT Background so I'm quite technical, some times I'm on a 'Week Long' On-Call Pattern, but when that happens I'm going to try doing an hour in the morning around 8ish... I've listened to a few shows already, Westy and Gaz, but you'll see me around listening to some more... Here's to a long future with 1Radio!! Aaron :-)

Posted by Eddie ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10448&BoardID=3 Hi everybody, I'm Peff, I live in Newcastle, and I'm one of the newest additions to the 1Radio family ^_^ I'm a relative newcomer to radio. I mean, I was one of those kids who recorded themselves on cassette and made loads of mixtapes for their friends, so I suppose the DJ bug was always there. Last year I started at Newcastle University as a mature student, and got involved in student radio. I absolutely fell in love and became addicted to broadcasting! (Or possibly just to the sound of my own voice). I've known DJ Ghost & Kev36663 for a few years and they encouraged me to apply here. I'm moving over a show I've been doing on-and-off for a while now, called The Engineerium. I'll be playing alternative electronic music: Synthpop, Futurepop, EBM & Industrial. My tastes are more towards the melodic than the screamy, aggro stuff. I've booked Weds 3rd October 6-8pm as my first show and hopefully I can settle into a regular slot here!

It is a show that plays club tunes from the 80s, with a serious nod to the genres that were Hi-nrg, Italo Disco and Eurobeat - a fair chunk of underground tunes many of you wouldn't have heard before. I regularly do listener's Top 10s, I've had guest DJ's, listener's in the mix, and every week we do a SixMix, which is the new six tracks added to the fabby Skerat Hi-nrg Chart. This is the latest SixMix, superbly put together by our resident mixmeister, Dave Johnston. Give it a listen, it's our most commercial SixMix yet, and maybe join us in the fun on the 1 we have every Saturday :) www.mixcrate.com/davej/6-mix-8-sept-2012-200157

Posted by Sam, Ells and Producer Myke ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10416&BoardID=3 I think this is something I expected to see from Aplle at some point and, as with a lot of what they do, will find an audiance. I think it will have a limited impact on internet radio models as used by many existing stations because a lot of people tune in to hear an actual human presenter and his or her choices of track as well as personality.

Posted by Eddie ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10372&BoardID=7 This show launches tonight at 7pm, called "Tales From Beyond A Darkened Sky". Tonights show will be 2 classic episodes of Scott Bishops criticaly accalimed "Dark Fantasy", provided for re-broadcast on a Public Domain attribution licence. I'm also planing to sereialise some longer tales on future shows, so that each show will have 2 dramas on it, and only one of those will be a sereial, the other will always be a self contained story. I'm not going to launch any of hte serialized stories rihgt away, I'll give it a week or two first. I've also decided to try and make one drama on each show a horror story, the other will eihter be Sci-fi, Horror, Mystery or Fantasy. I'm really rahter exited about this, as I said, radio drama and radio plays are what got me into radio in teh first place 30 years or so ago.

Posted by PT ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10382&BoardID=4 Yes Eddie, that is riht. I think the americans usualy call them radio dramas or radio theatre. Most of my collection are american, since the majority of British radio plays tend to be done for or by the BBC and they tend not to let the copyright lapse as htey often re-make them later. That said, I do have some clasisc BBC ones that the BBC did offer up on creative commons or public domain mark 1 licences.
Posted by DJ Ghost ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10372&BoardID=7 question are radio plays like "war of the worlds" but without the music ?(im not british you see) if so i like them . You never hear them anymore ,well atleast not here.
Posted by Eddie ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10372&BoardID=7 I think 11 till midniht or midniht till 1 are ideal times for ghost stories, suspsense and supernatural horror and I'm happy enough to broadcast then as it is rare I'm in bed before then anyway. True it means some people that would be intersted in listening may not be able to, but then that is not a great a problem, I'm happy to spend time building an audiance for it.

Last night/early this morning I broadcast an hour of radio plays, in this case ghost stories. I have literally hundreds of these, most are from the golden age of radio and are either in the public domain or are on a creative commons licence which permits not-for-profit broadcasting. However I do have access to some brand new ones as well, written, produced and acted by a local group with whom I am friends, and I have scripts for a few I've written myself which I plan to produce (I've got a studio and a cast, I just need the time to get the latter into the former so we can do the things). Radio plays are something of a passion of mine and have been since childhood. It was actually radio plays that got me hooked on radio in the first place and I still spend an inordinate amount of time listening to them, either from my collection or on radio 4 extra. Now the reception the plays got last

Now, in anyone else want's to take those times and open the bank holiday special instead, let me know as I can move to another slot if need be with a litlte bit of jugling my scedual for Monday. Being self employed anyway means scedual juling is often an option, and althouh I don't usualy take the bank holiday off, there is no reason why I can't! I'm actualy pretty excited about this idea as it goes. Especialy if we do the untinkable and get the entire days scedual filled! :) I'm half temptted to put on an hour of radio plays as I've a lare collection of ones in teh public domain and ones freinds have written and produced, and radio plays are actualy what ot me into radio in the first palce as a kid.

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10306&BoardID=3 So I was having a quick think of what we could do for the bank holiday Monday on the 27th (as it hadn't been mentioned before), and then I had an idea of instead of having a weekender or a day dedicated to a particular era or genre of music, why don't we try and fill the schedule up as much as we can from morning till night showcasing the best of 1Radio, in which anyone and everyone can take part, which can include doing your own show and showing what you do best on the 1, or even mixed collaborations. I know it's only a week until the bank holiday, but this should be simple enough to pull off effectively, and make it a huge success. I welcome any thoughts/questions/suggestions you may have. :)

Posted by Espy ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10259&BoardID=4 I can't chill out while you're talking Mark, sorry, you just have one of those voices. But I do like marijuana quite a lot.
Posted by Espy ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10273&BoardID=3 for what its worth, the 1R system is very reliable and stable. 95% of the system is built by me and when people encounter probs or bugs, i fix them very quickly. after 4+ years, its a very sophisticated and well-proven software. the weakspots are invariably in the third party things i dont control myself - the shoutcast server, the autodj system or, as last nite, yer actual nuts and bolts of web hosting. i simply have no control over these bits. they are too complex to build/manage myself, or more often, something i dont want to get involved with. and so we use other companies, who supposedly are specialists in their fields lol. sadly, thats often not the case.... anyway... we are up and running now and all seems ok. lets end the speculation and finger pointing and get back to the shows! cheers tim
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10288&BoardID=3 i know the cause of the prob. server was stuck at 3:30pm. so effectively, no one should have been on as it was an unbooked slot. mods could force a password change on the shoutcast server to let people broadcast, but effectively they could do nothing else. a few other things came into play too. re the mod button, only the current on air dj is allowed to use it to prevent abuse - and at 3:30, that was effectively no one. so whilst i know what went wrong, it was really out of my hands. a clumsy update by the webhosting company caused the issue. as soon as i became aware, i kicked off with them and they had a tech out at 3am or so to fix it. hopefully its a one off incident.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10288&BoardID=3 The smiley should read "think", lol.
Posted by DJ Ghost ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10288&BoardID=3 Now I may be wron but I *think* the reason the panic button didn't work was actualy part and parcel of what was causin last nihgts problem. The error message actualy said somethin about not beein able to use the feature because it could only be used by the Presenter that was scedueled to be on air at the time. Now obviously we *were* scedueled to be on air at the time, but the problem was that due to the server having apparently reset to US time, it didn't think we were. That's my theory anyway, baseed on the erorr message I got and the fact that when I looked in the "Book slots" menu, it was showing the much earleir slot as "In progress".
Posted by DJ Ghost ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10288&BoardID=3 Letting anyone have "take over" for the time being sounds like a great idea.
Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10288&BoardID=3 thanks for pointing out the problem with the panic/call mod button. will try to fix the issue. admittedly, last nites issue was quite severe, so a mod couldnt do much to resolve things apart from forcing password resets. @ceejay. interesting point. perhaps theres a case to temporarily allow anyone to do a takeover whilst things are quiet? if a mod spots someone continually grabbing a slot whilst others have also expressed interest, then they could intervene to keep things fair?
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10288&BoardID=3 That would also be useful if someone came on, found AutoDJ on and wanted to do the slot but didn't have slot takeover. As long as individuals didn't abuse it, it would be a good idea. Given the amount empty slots at the moment this could at least be opened temporarily.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10288&BoardID=3 Excelent news. Just a heads up though, in case it happens agian, it also disabled the panic button to summon a mod.

You could say my last few shows have proven that I am THE LEAST unique presenter here. I daresay they've proved that even the damned AutoDJ of all things is more unique than me.
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10178&BoardID=3 I'm one of those that should be listening to a lot more presenters but since my mind is literally falling to pieces atm, I'm not listening to people's shows... I remember the times though when I used to religiously listen to 1Radio, but I seem to have stopped. I don't have an excuse for not tuning in... TuneIn Radio on phone, TuneIn Radio Pro on my tablet... so, I'm one of the ones that shouldn't be receiving any listeners at all. Of course, I haven't presented a show in a while, so I haven't had any listeners whatsoever but that's a different story.
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10178&BoardID=3 I used to try and support other presenters whenever possible but like ESPY I now listen in to people who frequently tune in to me. I appreciate people have families and work commitments but my one main show is Sunday evening and I have noticed very few presenters tune in to my shows. I have also got into the habit of tuning out from presenters that only show up 10 / 15 minutes before I finish when they are following me. These presenters never show any other times, not only on my shows but on most others, except their friends. I like most music genres and so do like the presenters music I do listen in to.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10178&BoardID=3 @Watty - I don't bother listening to your shows because you don't bother listening to mine. Simple as that. It's nothing personal, as I measure all other presenters by the exact same standard. Might this play some role in explaining why many presenters don't check out your shows? I don't know. I guess it depends on (1) how much time you spend listening to other presenters and (2) how many other presenters adhere to the same principles of reciprocity that I do. There are 3 or 4 presenters on 1Radio who I listen to religiously. These guys turn up for my shows whenever they can so I turn up for theirs whenever I can. Or maybe it started the other way around. Hard to say, really. I don't always like everything I hear them play, but that's no big deal. What's important to me is the camaraderie, the friendship, the mutual support and respect. I really don't know if any other presenters feel the same. Maybe a lot. Maybe none. Anyway, I thought it was worth mentioning at least.

Posted by Sean ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10242&BoardID=4 oh trust me Ceejay, if it came into effect I would personally get Tim to backdate every one for me, but only backdate it for me. And that's from when I started it. And to make matters worse, just for me, every credit would cost £1'000'000. Trust me, I would be outta here then as I can't afford that. What I am proposing is a super-strict way to deal with people that do it. But tweaking it slightly so it is super brutal to me. You want me to be ridiculous? Yes, I will be, but only if it affects me. In fact, why don't we get Tim to unbook every slot I have already and remove all my credits right here right now? As a punishment for all my late unbookings? As well as blocking me from ever being able to purchase more credits. Then I can't be an offender for that anymore can I?
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10207&BoardID=3 Hi Will Thank you, absolutely. I feel different about 1Radio now, and would like to join back. Thanks for your comments mate. :) Kieran
Posted by Kieran ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10206&BoardID=3 Thanks for the public apology, Kieran, and as you specifically mention me I will happily comment. I have seen and heard you make comments that are, as you say, provocative, and confrontational. For me, you need to show a bit more respect to the DJ and listener, regardless of who they are and whether you think they are right or wrong. In respect of you returning, whether it's your choice or not, I would hope that you have learnt from your previous behaviours and that from here onwards, it's very much fun on the 1, as it is for the vast majority of us. I would welcome you back, on the basis that all the previous nonsense from you was firmly in the past.
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10206&BoardID=3 You'd soon run out P seeing that you are one of the worst offenders. The 16 hour rule is fine, losing one credit. Things happen and people can't always predict 3 weeks in advance. What you are proposing is ridiculous. Someone just joining books a slot, finds they have something on that night so unbooks then they have no credits left. Exit one new presenter, more empty slots. If someone misuses auto-booking, that is a different matter, which is why Tim has a rule that you lose that privilege if you keep unbooking slots. I have unbooked slots before the 16 hour dead line because I have felt unwell and wasn't sure I'd be up to broadcasting, I have also done broadcasts when I have felt really ill. We need to encourage new presenters and those not bothered about being here will disappear from DJ list as they fail to do shows. So come up with some ideas to get new blood here.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10207&BoardID=3 Ok, so let's tier it then. Cancelling with over 168 hours before the show, 4 credit fine + losing your booking credit Cancelling with between 168 and 144 hours, 9 credit fine + losing your booking credit Cancelling with between 144 and 120 hours, 14 credit fine + losing your booking credit Cancelling with between 120 and 96 hours, 19 credit fine + losing your booking credit ... Cancelling with between 24 and 0 hours, 44 credit fine + losing your booking credit Having your show cancelled mid show, 49 credit fine + losing your booking credit No-show, 3 month ban, plus a 999 credit fine + losing your booking credit. Ok, now that's very strict, but I do think it'll work. Plus no-shows really do become the spawn of evil for the presenter. And yes, you CAN have negative credit counts. Which means you then have to buy extra credits to be able to continue broadcasting.
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10207&BoardID=3 However, I think a bigger problem we have to contend with right now is a lack of presenters.
Posted by Espy ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10207&BoardID=3 charging additional credits for late cancellations sounds like an OK idea to me. it would certainly help to discourage people from doing it.
Posted by Espy ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10207&BoardID=3 ok, since it seems Tim is trying to get rid of people cancelling shows, I think a 4 credit fine (plus the credit you used to book the slot) should be given for any show cancellation prior to it airing, regardless of how far back you unbook it, you could unbook it 3 weeks before and you still lose the credit and get a fine. If it happens after it starts airing (no show/cancelled by moderator), that should be a 9 not 4 credit fine (still losing the credit you used to book the slot). Perhaps that system would encourage people to keep their booked slots?
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10207&BoardID=3 I emailed Tim a couple weeks ago asking for credit buying to be re-enabled. He will probably get around to it.

Posted by Dazzle ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10207&BoardID=3 Due to the electric board installing a substation in my new offices I have cancelled my Sunday show this week. I've also freed up the autobooking slot for 10 am till midday on Sundays. I have a show prepped and ready to go for sunday so I will be looking for an oppertunity to broaadcast it at some point when I'm free. But Christ knows when.....church reference there! hehe spike
Posted by Spike Hammond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10216&BoardID=3 I've waited a little while to respond to some of the points raised here. As I always say I have no hidden digs at anyone! Let me clarify what I mean by unique. Unique to me is something I don't hear anywhere else. And I base it on format, Chart show is a chart show, mixing show is a mixing show, talk show is a talk show. What makes them unique in my eyes, or ears if you like, is the format in which they are put across! We have alot of similar Dj's on the 1. Take the music out and you got vox Jingle tune...and repeat....... Regardless of the equipment used the art of this thing we do is to entertain..I like to be entertained, so I want to listen to something that is different...thats what entertains me and keeps my one brain cell happy. I mentioned Rhodders cause he doesn't just link song title and artists, he talks to me about the world (understanding him is different) Thats what is unique! But remember this is just MY opinion. Just thought I would clarify my screwy thought process.

Posted by DJ Ghost ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10191&BoardID=3 We had this problem a couple of months ago Jamie, it was a fault at the shoutcast server or something like that if memory serves, it hit a few of us but was intermitant. Let Time know and he will sort it.
Posted by DJ Ghost ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10191&BoardID=3 ah, I might have fallen foul on the cancellation... I think I cancelled one morning around 6am, which would have been 12 hours, but deffo wasn't 16... boo... nevermind... Tim, can we turn credits back on please - I'd like to try and do some more shows...?
Posted by Kev36663 ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10207&BoardID=3 Tim probably disabled premium services when he announced the closure of 1Radio and has forgotten to enable them since his change of mind. You lose credits if you do a no show, stop encoding too early or unbook a slot with less than 16 hours before the start of the booked the slot. It used to be 12 hrs before but that has since changed.

Posted by Eddie ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10207&BoardID=3 I seem to be missing a credit. I had 6, but now only have 5... unsure why I've lost one?

Posted by Kev36663 ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10207&BoardID=3 Most of you already know, I left 1Radio a while back, not on a good note either. Some minor issues, so I felt I should leave. How ever after time to reflect, and I've noticed my maturity levels and behaviour, I've worked and noticed on them and I've feel more suitable to join 1Radio again. How ever, my behaviour in some ways wasn't the best interest in 1Radio. My behaviour was provocative. I feel that, my mind has changed for broadcasting in a good way. I would like to get 1Radio presenters to comment on this please, to see if you would like me back. I'd like to apologize to Will Reid especially from previous comments I made in the past, which might of upset him and made our tension awkward and uncomfortable. Hopefully, maybe I could join back to 1Radio and make my creativeness more stronger! Once again, comments and views would be appreciated. Kieran

It's one of hte reasons I have my wife in teh shoutbox on her machine, as I have so many things to concentrate on - the decks, the shout box, typing in the track name, checkin my emails etc, I'm paranoid I will miss an important shout box message.

Posted by DJ Sherlock Holmes ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10178&BoardID=3 Sounds like a fun mix of shows, I will tune in :) I think you should try your talk show again.
Posted by Rhodders ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10175&BoardID=4 Great show and well worth a listen. Bit like Solid Gold Oldies but with a young dinosaur presenting it. Loved the mix of tunes.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10189&BoardID=4 I just hope I can stabalize my internet connection so I can tune in. It's been playing up something cronic all day, presumably due to the thunderstorm that has been raging over head.
Posted by DJ Ghost ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10189&BoardID=4 I'm liking the sound of this! There is some fantastic music form the 1930s 40s and 50s and a suprisingly large amount of interest in it. I used to do a show of music form the 1930s to the 1960s on Ace before it shut down, initialy once a month, but due to demand I wound up doing it every week untill other demands on my time meant I had to put it on Hiatus for a while. I found that about two thirds of the audaince were profesional musicians of all kinds of genres (including at least 2 entire Goth bands who used to tune in and a bunch of musicians form rock acts as well).
Posted by DJ Ghost ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10189&BoardID=4 You're not reading it wrong.

Posted by May Thomson ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10191&BoardID=3 1930's music? haha. Or am I reading it wrong
Posted by Kieran ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10189&BoardID=4 I'm noticing a lot of no shows lately. I know most of us are aware of this. I'm tuned into 1Radio a lot lately. Due to split shifts at work, so therefore I make other member staffs listen too lol. And for them to hear the bridge repeating its self is very off putting. Maybe a tip put a reminder in your phone. I know I've forgotten about shows in the past, but it wasn't a habit. A last minute cancel isn't that bad, rather than letting auto kick in after 6minutes of jingles.
Posted by Kieran ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10191&BoardID=3 Many of our "regular" presenters have been absent lately. I have a sneaking suspicion that some folks felt spooked by the announcement of 1Radio's closure and have set about to find safer pastures. But I could be wrong. In any case, I agree that some new blood is needed. Let's all reach out to our dedicated listener base to see if any familiar faces would like to try their hand at hosting shows. Apart from that, let's think about some other sources for recruiting. Sometimes I really wish that 1Radio conducted exit interviews so that we might stand to gain from our losses. This knowledge might reveal patterns that would help us to evolve our practices and reduce turnover.
Posted by Espy ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10161&BoardID=3 Right first off, to attempt something different, I shall be trying different genres in my shows to see which one attracts an audience. The first show will be playing tunes from the 30s, 40s and 50s (In answer to Ceejay's suggestion.) Also, as some know I have had trouble with Sam Broadcaster using the Voice FX system, I see Mark has had the same issue. I have followed the same instructions that was suggested to him. It seems to be working with the odd exception here and there. It is the nearest I can get to eliminating it after trying everything, it is nothing to do with my microphone as it works with the mono system I was using previously. I said I wouldn't do a show for a while but I am feel I should be confident, and broadcast whether the mic works 100% or not and be able to use this system, I hope you can all support me in this. I will be broadcasting on Sunday 5th August for a special show. Thanks, Jamie Dyer
Posted by Jamie Dyer ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10189&BoardID=4 Good point Spike, although I have to admit not just Rhodders. I would say Espy too. I see mostly epsy on 1Radio than anyone else, mostly during the night too. Wouldn't moderators vet the applicants to stop the 'bad' ones coming in?
Posted by Kieran ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10178&BoardID=3 I can see what you are say Spike. Personally I have taken the decision that 'The Sawyer Show' will soon come to the end of it's run. This is to allow me to think up new ideas for a new show and to ultimately allow me to do something different! As for the way we get new Presenters/DJs I feel that the audition process need to be modified. Yes we want a certain level of competency, but we also need to accept that some may not be 100% sure of what they are doing. And, hey, we are all amateurs here! We strive to sound professional as possible but there is room for errors! I make enough!
Posted by Jonathan Sawyer ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10178&BoardID=3 Fair points both. And something I've already been thinking about and preparing for. More info coming soon.
Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10178&BoardID=3 Quality over quantity I say, the audition needs to stay. As for uniqueness, who else plays Italo and Hi-nrg, or JP's 90s dance? APIke, you're still drunk ;)
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10178&BoardID=3 Yeah, you're right, Ceejay, most of the listeners were there to listen to that genre, however Ylle, Asma, Andrew, Jamie, Stewart.......and probably others that love 1Radio and are here because of Club 80s, might have just stuck around if somebody had improvised and played 80s or dance of sorts. Like I said, showed initiative.
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10161&BoardID=3 I agree on the Audition process at least being suspended but Tim won't have time to make sure previously banned DJ's don't creep back in. So we basically need someone who can veto any applicants we don't want back.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10178&BoardID=3 I checked the schedule for this upcoming week one week is 168 hours of shows Lets take away midnight till 8am (56 Hrs) This leaves us 112 hours which we can realistically expect to hear someone presenting So lets take away what has been booked (57 hrs) which leaves us with 55 hours of autoDJ.... 61.6% of space to be filled This is a poor showing my friends, we need to up our game if we are to keep 1radio going 51 DJ's still registered to the station, 19 of those have at least 1 hour booked...leaving 32, which sorry but cant see all 32 being on holiday etc Come on guys get your finger out your backsides
Posted by Gaz Evans ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10161&BoardID=3 I love how everyone talks about promoting the site, getting more listeners and then we have massive gaps in the schedule. Where's the incentive to promote the site if all they are going to find is dead air or AutoDJ? @Will, most of your listeners come for that Genre, I doubt many, if any would stick around for a rock show or top 40 music. I had another sleepless night and didn't get up until after 1:30pm otherwise I may have taken the following two hours. :(
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10161&BoardID=3 You're right, Ash, no show to 11pm on a Saturday is a sin :( As usual on a Saturday, Adam, JP and I had good numbers, energetic shoutboxes and people wanting to listen. When I logged off at Midday, 25 people were listening to me. Why on earth nobody had the foresight, effort or initiative to follow that up i do not know!! We need to do better people. Please don't waste this opportunity to broadcast here!
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10161&BoardID=3 Presenters need to work hard to be fresh inventive and interesting. If all we are going to do is rehash the same thing again and again and not fill the spots..........I fear the worst! Spike
Posted by Spike Hammond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10178&BoardID=3 Short and sweet from me! Please test ya broadcastness before you start doing a show. Please don't take things personal when people are trying to help you sound the best you can regardless of your competency. Secondly is an appology for anyone who is missing the Sunday church sessions, my work schedule has increased 5 fold in the last 2 months and I really am struggling to find time and inclination to plan and prep a show or even to listen to everyone. Thirdly I have a feeling we need to scrap the audition process and go back to grass roots to bring in some talent and new blood. Not to say that peeps don't need to have a fair dinkum amount of savvy, but the gaps in the schedule are getting longer and greater. I accepted Tims decision to close 1Radio, I also did a little dance when he reconsidered. My worry is there is the same complacency now as there was b4 the threatened closure. The only inventive and truly unique show on the 1 at the moment is Rhodders.
Posted by Spike Hammond ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10178&BoardID=3 It's all fair enough promoting 1radio and getting more listeners but I find it quite dishearting that there are still a lot of empty slots.. Today, no-one on until 11pm tonight??? Whist, it is appreciated that it is summer season, school holidays etc i feel that this is quite poor. Everyone was disapointed when Tim made his decision to cancel 1radio and then delighted when he decided not too. Give Tim one good reason why he should continue when there are still some emtpy slots. If everyone still wants 1radio continue, we have to start having a reasonably busy schedule or it will be gone and this time.... Only ourselves to blame :(
Posted by Ashley Paterson ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10161&BoardID=3 A couple of thoughts from me: Definitely agree with consistency and continuity - it helps your listener count when they know when your on at the same time every week. We should also use social networks to our advantage - whether it's the facebook page, twitter account, or even using the 1Radio YouTube account. And let's remember that 1Radio is a worldwide station with listeners all over the globe, so why not put repeats out overnight to avoid people who may tune in for the first time hearing nothing or seeing a giant robot in the shout box saying no one's here.
Posted by Adam ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10161&BoardID=3 Yes Dazzle n Pete have some New Shows coming to 1radio - " Spin The Year " I hear u cry what is that its musical roulette i have a sweeper being made with dallas style years and it will stop on a year and that hr the music will be played from that year "Reversa a Track" Guess the Track for a chance of winning some 1radio Goodies "80's at 8" New on Mondays all 80's for 1hr Regular shows at mo til i go back to work - Wednesdays 60's at 6 n 70's at 7 Tuesdays Music Across The Decades 4pm to 6pm new jingles for the exchange coming soon aswell

Posted by The Les Walker ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10172&BoardID=3 Time to stop talking about promoting and supporting, and do it! Here's what I believe helps : Identity - The audience know what you and your show are all about. Consistency and continuity - Autobook a slot and be there. If not, get someone to cover YOUR show Reliability - The audience know the quality you'll produce every week Interaction - Get the audience involved as often as possible, preferably before the show so they're more likely to listen. Research - Know your music and ideally your audience too Promote 1Radio exclusively - If we appreciate this place as much as people say, let's promote 1R only Activity - Keep yourself scarce, let the audience want more Not a finished list, just some principles I try to adhere to.
Posted by Will ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10161&BoardID=3 That great gaz ...I just think that we have been given an oppertunity to keep the one going as per tims decision.!!

Posted by Gaz Evans ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10161&BoardID=3 OK so its agreed that we need to look at some of the ways in which we promote the station. I don't mind changing the time of the chart if you think its at the wrong time but we should all do new promos especially those that have auto bookings as there slot will be the same time every week. We need an advertising person lol someone who posts all the shows on Facebook etc lol. But my main point is that we all need to get behind each other and promote each other as much as we can and i know some of us havnt got the time but a 2min post is all it takes. Just a thought thats all !!

Posted by DJ RAM ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10155&BoardID=4 Most Promos on the exchange are out of date and many shows have either been scrapped or, like mine, changed the time. With the exception of Wills shows and my Monday Music & Requests I don't know any others that broadcast regularly, even the Sunday Chart show broadcasts the wrong time and really needs updating. I don't mind playing promos and I often tweet other DJ's shows when I get chance to.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10161&BoardID=3 sound like a good plan Ian
Posted by Eddie ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10161&BoardID=3 Ok i know im going on abit with that post title but thats what ive been thinking is needed to get 1radio where it should be. I think what every presenter should do is play at least one promo of another DJ on there shows. And maybe post the next DJ'S show on twitter and facebook to get word around. If you have a promo for your show then make sure you post it in the jingle exchange if you dont have a jingle exchange then maybe we could setup a drop box for 1radio so we can share them. Im defo willing to play a promo of any of your shows so just send me them to djwestsounds2011@yahoo.co.uk or i can get it off the jingle exchange. Just an idea as it seems that you dont always hear dj promos that much on current shows. Plus we need to let first time listeners what we offer here on 1Radio.org. Thanks Ian ps. please post your comments !!!

Posted by Colin John ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10093&BoardID=3 For me as an 'Old Git' I can say I always use a 'Dead Pot Fade' to ensure I come 'as near as dammit' to the 'Zero' but that's how I was trained to ensure we came out on time for end of show or 'news drop... but blame the Beeb for that. For those that don't know what a Dead Pot Fade is, it is why DJ's back in the 'Dark Ages' used to have theme tunes... You see on your clock or stopwatch that there is 3:30 left on the clock and you need to 'Come Out' clean? Put a track on that is 4 minutes long and start it as the clock strikes 4 minutes with the 'Fader' (known as a 'Pot') closed(dead) as the last track finishes open the 'Pot' and the 'outro' will end to the second on the clock... hence you say your goodbyes over this track... as the Meerkats say 'Simple' .... but it works and has done for me for many years... why not try it???
Posted by Colin John ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10093&BoardID=3 I meant the next dj / presenter loses listeners and NO ian it wasn't you. I have followed a couple that do this every time and I find it annoying and frustrating, The clock it's is there as a guide, I can tell you that once hits Zero it takes approximately 3 seconds to change the password. I count to six after it zeros then connect, that syncs 99% of the time. A couple of seconds isn't a problem but 1.5 minutes of dead air and people could think 'No Show' and leave. It may seem petty to the younger generation but I was bought up to do things properly and nothing less than perfect was good enough.
Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10093&BoardID=3 I agree with Ian, stop moaning. Little pitty things. Although it can be annoying, speak to the presenter rather posting it in here....that's just my opinion too. Message the DJ if it annoys you that much. And I do not agree with your comment when you mentioned its why 1Radio is closing. Nothing to do with it. This post its a bit silly. I hardly see anyone stop broadcasting before XX:58. Infact no one,
Posted by Kieran ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10093&BoardID=3 well i do hope that its not me that ceejay is refering too but if so then i do think its got nothing to do with why the stations slots are not being booked. All presenters need to stop moaning about silly things and just pull together for the last 5 months lets get behind each other and support each other in what we do...on the whole i think that there is some great talent on 1Radio and we need to get behind them all....JUST MY OPINION !! Ian
Posted by DJWesty ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10093&BoardID=3 not sure how people finishing their slot a min early contributes to the general decline of slot booking on 1r, but yeah, i can see it can be irritating for the follow up presenter and listeners.

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10096&BoardID=3 Hi all, I am currently sat in a neighbours house on her lap top as my electrics have completly failed and i have no power to the house at all. The master breaker board blew spectaculalry earlier and the electrician is comming to try and fix the problem at 4.30 but can't be sure how long it will take to fix, just to be on the safe side I have cancelled tonights Screams from the Charnel House from 6pm till 8pm, so if anyone can use those two hours tonight, go ahead, by all means. Fingers crossed I should be okay for next week as usual, as they think the fault is something they can fix in "a couple of hours-ish". chances are I would have been fine to keep my second hour but I would rather cancel now in case it's not all fixed in time rather than gamble on it all being okay by then and then beeing proved wrong. I'm off back to my own house to stare at the walls and realise how dificult it is to do anything in the 21st century with no sodding electric.
Posted by DJ Ghost ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10096&BoardID=3 Due to unforseen circumstances ive been called to a Meeting so sorry no Music Across The Decades show on 1radio - back tomorrow with 60's at 6pm
Posted by Dazzle ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10095&BoardID=3 Actually, I find the clock annoying, it doesn't seem in sync with what I do. So I therefore talk until xx:57 (where xx is the second hour of my show), and then play a 1 minute jingle to sign out. Yes, I could probably still stream for like a few seconds afterwards, but I'd rather end it in sync.
Posted by DJ Paladinleeds ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10093&BoardID=3 There are some presenters on 1Radio that stop encoding up to a minute or more before their slot is due to end. That leaves the next DJ / Presenter and listeners waiting and listening to dead air. That is because these 'professional' presenters don't like to play a song that will cut off in a minute... Play some Show Promos, talk for a minute, play jingles or play an Instrumental or bed anything is better than dead air. This is why we lose listeners and are now in the poor state we are in. As for getting jobs on commercial radio they have no chance if they have such a lapse attitude and no thought for anyone else.

Posted by 1Radio Admin ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10081&BoardID=3 Would just like to say how saddened I am by the recent news of the station cancellation. As a presenter with many years of experience on other stations, I felt as though 1Radio was the right one for me at last. The last few shows I have done have been some of the most enjoyable of any I have EVER done. The audience participation is fantastic, and I hoped to build up a regular audience with a regular daytime slot. 1Radio might be closing, but I still intend to keep my plan of a show each day from 10am-midday. Despite words that the site wasn't getting many bookings, I have seen many days that are booked from 8am-2am the next day. There was certainly a demand for slots, and what I have heard has been brilliant. I have only been here a short time, but I have already made some friends and contacts (Rhodders I'm looking at you). So there you have it, if anyone knows of other online stations, please let me know via Facebook (Jamie Christopher Dyer)

Posted by DJ Ghost ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10061&BoardID=4 ...to say a huge thank you for Tim for 1radio. As some of you older listeners will know (!), I was part of 1radio from 2009 up to January of this year. Some of my highlights included hosting the top 10 of 1radio's first ever Top 500, presenting a show on Northern Soul which still gets downloads on Mixcloud, and most of all, being part of the Saturday morning dream team. I haven't been around that much of late due to pressures of work and househunting - I'm moving back to Wales this autumn - but would like to thank Tim for giving me the opportunity to live out my dreams and host a radio show. I'll try and come back to do some more shows (if I'm allowed) before the station comes to an end, but have to say I have not come across such a professionally run and supported internet radio station. Thank you Tim - and the best of luck with your new ventures.

The most valuable and read-worthy news will be displayed at the top because the public 'vote up' improtant and relevant news. The main reasoning behind thinking this was a good idea is that people can advertise there upcoming shows, while alerting the community and allowing for comments for feature requests and feedback. Hopefully people pick this up, and get sharing :)

Posted by DJ Ceejay ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=10005&BoardID=3 I checked your show details... and saw this at the bottom. Warning: This show may contain content offensive to some listeners. Listener discretion is advised. If you are likely to be offended then please do not listen. You do NOT need to apologise. That disclaimer alone frees you from any responsibility of apology when you play a track with a few swear words in. Heck, I've played Frankie - F.U.R.B. and Eamon - F**k It on my shows with that disclaimer and not apologised. You have already safeguarded yourself, that warning alone says its down to the listener whether or not they can cope with potentially offensive content.

Posted by Presenter/ DJ S.L.S ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=9983&BoardID=6 Just had a look, turns out my license doesn't expire until July anyway! Thanks for the info though.
Posted by Dan 'The Mekon' ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=9984&BoardID=6 It could be the priority settings, try this. Top left click on file, then config. In the opened box click Audio mixer pipeline. At the bottom of the box should be process Priority. Try setting this to Normal and see what happenes. Hope this helps.
Posted by The Les Walker ]]> http://dj.1radio.org/forums/view.php?PostID=9983&BoardID=6 Not sure about your Mic issue, but the licence issue, open your Sam, and in the top left click on FILE and then CONFIG, a window opens in the middle of Sam, and the bottom opptioon in that window is Registration Key :) Hope this helps
