The management of this radio station, in involuntary cooperation with the Department of ...

I just finished mixing the new opening for the show.

This required me to find new mixing software, teach myself how to hack through it, find some text to speech software with the right feature set, pick some decent background music, and probably most important find my motivation and/or my muse. Probably 12 hours work for about 3 minutes of finished audio.

I was so happy I screamed at the top of my lungs "I DID IT!" when I finished. This confused Mrs. Illya, and I should note she puts up with quite a bit of nonsense from me. I then bombed a friend of the show and... shh... a new staph member with the finished product. Now that I have ruined everyone's data plan for the month, I could use a snack.

Seriously, the completion of this step makes it feels like that BSR is really back in business.

Now where did I put the damn music library???

Finally, a couple of articles of recent interest:

What will you use to listen to BSR?

For others, this may be a new experience (and if so, welcome aboard!) or they need a refresher. Rather than try a one size fits all tutorial just yet, I figured I would start with some basic questions. What listening tool would you like to use? (e.g. iTunes) What operating system are you on? (e.g. Windows) This will help us develop a few tutorials to get folks started. Please let us know in the comments. And now, your moment of zen… https://twitter.com/VirginAustralia/status/1118760531618172928 Cheers, Illya PS: In theory this should post automatically to the slack channel as well. It is interesting to see the difference between a tool that encourages collaboration (slack), and one that is a closed system (f...

Does this still work?

A quick test of the BSR blog to see if it still functions properly. (Answer: It sort of does, but Blogger gets a bit confused when you are working with multiple GMail accounts... groan) There will be a show tonight at 8PM US/Eastern.
