      You're very kind. I'm glad I could demonstrate this for everybody. I wish I had done a contest with a more complicated phone edit. This one was very straightforward, and often we have to cut things out and add something to it to make it sound more seamless.

    Hi, I am breakfast show host for one of the station in Moscow, Russia, we do calls the similar way, we prerecord them, to present "as live" on the air. One thing that really puzzles me, is that on most aircheck videos I see, all the way from the 80s to 2000s presenter hears the caller on their monitors.
    In our studio we do it through the headphones, and monitors die, as they do when you record anything or turning the mic on. Which is logical.
    How does the monitor not interfere with the mic and recording has no echo?! I tried it in my studio, and it's a mess, the caller hears himself, the recording sound bad, How does this work on other stations?!

    • @Brucieee1
      @Brucieee1  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hello! It has to do with the noise gate threshold on the studio mic processor. If the caller on the monitor is just quiet enough to not open the gate, the audio doesn't go back through the mic. So talking into the mic will open it, but the caller will not.

      @artemkorolev2257 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    When I worked in radio in the UK in the 90s, whenever we did a "caller #X wins" contest, we didn't really want to specifically use caller #X, we just wanted someone who sounded lively and excited. So we'd keep answering the lines until we got someone who fitted the bill, and everybody else was told "sorry, you're not caller #X".
    Mind you, in those days we took callers live to air, there was no pre-recording.

      Your first sentence is illogical… YOU were able to train your skills to a level that meets a certain standard, so was the board op in this video… hope you're not suggesting that only the two of you have the ability to board op!
      There's a difference between training and teaching, often they go hand in hand. Your comment "they didn't get it" suggests that you were trying to train without teaching. Also, keep in mind that DOING a job is a very different endeavor than TEACHING someone how to do that job. A demonstrated skill at doing one does not automatically infer any skill at doing the other. Find out what is involved with teaching and check that you have those skills before you pass judgement on the student.

      Yes, it was a much more difficult process before digital. I'd be happy to show this process too, but there aren't many of those Atari reels with editing blocks left. I do have my reel-to-reel tapes though!

    Taken the easy route there Bruce. Often you get the best stuff after the call ends, so personally I keep rolling and then take the time to do more than a hello / you win call. Seize the sizzle mate, that's the beauty of Voxpro. Tell me though, are you playing out in 2 track Left n Right, or does your system compensate for mono output on-air?

    • @Brucieee1
      @Brucieee1  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hello, and thanks for the feedback. Trust me, most of the calls I put on-air are more interesting than this. Just used this one for demonstration. This VoxPro setup, and others I've used record in 2-track, and then play back in mono. We can switch it to stereo playback on the control board if we want, but I think it sounds strange to have the caller and the host split on stereo channels.

      Hi! The audio in this video is direct from the internal mic on my Canon Vixia video camera. The mic you see in the video (A Heil PR40) is not the source of the audio, but is briefly heard when I play back the call when I am editing it. A big reason the audio sounds good is probably the room itself, which has high-quality acoustic panels everywhere.

    Why do you record the winning caller instead of doing it just live air with no edits?

    • @Brucieee1
      @Brucieee1  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for asking, and that's a good question! First, at that station, we were instructed to avoid any surprises that listeners might try to do if they were live on-air, like swearing and other stuff that could get the station fined the FCC. They do enforce that, especially if it's on a huge station like KOST. People try this a lot. Next, we can clean up the call to sound better. We'll take out unnecessary pauses, phrases and sentences that don't add anything to the content, and generally make it flow better and sound more entertaining. In this case, I barely did anything. Just took out a couple pauses and breaths to make it move a little quicker.

      @Brucieee1  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great question! Before a caller gets through to us, they hear a recording, which states that their voice will be recorded and played back on air and online. I think it says "by continuing this call, you consent to having your voice recorded and broadcast..." etc. If you ever hear one of those "prank calls" where it sounds like a deejay is "calling" someone, but the person doesn't know it (like on Brooke and Jubal, or "War of the Roses" or any other prank call bits) those are ALL fake. We can not record anyone or broadcast their voice without permission.

      Good ear! Yes, this call was nearly perfect as-is. Usually, there's a lot of stuff to cut out, but I barely had to do anything to make this one work. I just cut out the pauses, which made it sound a little better on playback. Newer versions of Vox-pro will cut out all the pauses with a single command.

Even down the hall at KIIS, when they say "caller 102," they have a couple phone screeners actually answering the first 101 calls.
