as some of you might know I am now helping Giacjr with the radio as Co head DJ .. Although I have a lot of ideas etc I have to learn a lot about the technical side
including the password (for the shoutcast server)
So first off if someone could send me the Password for the shoutcast server( IN PM ) I can do some soundchecks etc tonight , maybe start on my own show (i feel the head DJs are DJ s first policy makers second)
I also have an Idea for try outs . What does this mean : simple if you want to be a DJ PROVE you have what it takes, either by sending in a clip of you Dj ing Or we give you time to do it live.
lots of people want to be a DJ but only putting on a playlist isnt everything. You need to atleast talk a little. This doesnt mean you have to sound like a real DJ (with a basssy voice and all the answers ) but you should atleast put in an effort to talk about some daily things on the server etc maybe have a little story or just tell some jokes (different DJ s have different styles)
I would also like to remind you radio isnt all music and talk about music, maybe you would like to be a newsreader or just make a talkshow ? Sure you are welcome ! put an idea together and either make an topic or PM me (CET timezone(europe ) or Giacjr (Australian and near timezones)
to conlude for now I would like to say we are trying to get the radio to a serious level this means to have Dj on as much as possible and to have active DJs and ofcourse to have diversity
Yours Sincerely
Iggy

Here's a tip, chill out. Don't try to hard, only do so when you're getting paid for it. Relax without a care in the world and all comes naturally.

Thanks Trojan i'll remember that when the time comes.

It would be good if when no one is DJing that music will automatically play, and then when a DJ connects it will just switch over to that as a priority over automatic music... but I have a feeling that isn't possible? If it is, that would be cool, more professional ;)

It is possible, you can get a looped intro file. I don't know what the maximul file size of the intro file is but you could put a few songs together and make an intro file out of them.
-
Maybe several intro Files.. also anyone have a good program to Internet broadcast? a cracked one at that. I was accepted a long time ago. but never followed through into getting the software.
-
you can use the shoutcast source plugin for Winamp (just google it its verry common)it then plays what you play
but there are probably other options maybe one of the more experienced dj's knows them
-
Most DJs are supplied with SAM Broadcaster ( and the crack ofc)

Where?! Contact me on MSN please if you have it.
-
ok i have also installed SAM .so lets get rockin'
but I noticed one thing Trojan broadcasts at 48kbs AU thats not enough I mean I have one of the slower conections (only 512 uopload) and i can easily pull of 128 and be in game

Well either me or Giac will be contacting Aragorn soon (in around 2 weeks) about a server password change so I believe that this would be a good time period in which to trial some new DJs who have been waiting for a long time to become an Argonath Government Radio DJ.
