Talk Show Record and the 'Ministry of Love' Show

Here is another great KBVR show.
DJAkarta is the talent, I am the producer,
it is the second least informative, and most over-engineered on KBVR,
ENJOY




This show is the first show to be recorded with our new ‘Mics-Only’ method. Using the digital mixing setting on the Studer mixers I was able to record a master copy of the show as well as a copy with only the voices (microphones and phone-patch), essentially an Internet-Ready version of the show with only KBVR produced and owned content. Mervin’s show was used as a testing ground for the development and refinement of this method. His show, The Ministry of Love, was a perfect testing ground for this method because it was on the air twice a week for 4 hours total, with about 3 hours of talking each week and it had between 4 and 8 hosts and guests each week.

The implementation of this recording method was made possible by the complete retrofit of the station done two years ago by our chief engineer with full signal path schematics and completely adaptability through two patch bays. I had wanted to be able to record in this fashion for years but only after working as Asst. Engineer for a term was I familiar enough with the schematics and patch bays to be able to divide the PGM and REC signal paths effectively. After numerous tweaks and adjustments to make the method the best quality and as DJ-friendly as possible it was time to roll it out to more shows at KBVR.

When hired as Station Manager I created and hired a new position, Internet Content Engineer, in charge of overseeing the implantation of this new recording method and the online distribution of KBVR created content. During spring term 2 shows were encouraged to learn this method, archive content was made available online, and live performances and special events were uploaded. The plan for fall term is to get more DJs involved and to have an in house player for the KBVR.com front page that can update through the XML database of our files.
