newsbeat

Yes it was the BRITs bed for this year

It was used for this... (ID) Pulser (Demo).mp3

Yep, I'm thinking of editing mine, with some of the id_1 fx

Really good! Nice work!! Although, you did the same as me, msut remember for next demo (both of us), not to use the same FX! I did it the most, but overall, really good work!

You're very welcome

Thanks!

Here you go! Let me know what you think. I like to make demo's of the highest quality, so feedback/discussion would be welcomed, good or bad, I want to know! Sorry about the spelling, only realized once it had finished uplaoding, should say 'Beds Mix' Download it here:http://www.mediafire.com/?6elaawdxau20hi7

As demand is ever-rising for 'new' ID's, beds, promo's etc, if you have a demo, submit it here! There will be one here from me by the end of theday, focusing on beds. I intend to make lots of demo's of stuff I have, so you get the idea of the stuff R1 use(d). Here are my plans: JAM demo's Promo's Demo Sweepers/ID's Newsbeat (several mixes, using different cuts) Moyles Station Sound (Late 90's, early '00s) I'll have a demo on beds here by the end of the day!

I tried emailing them, didn't get a response. They're up to something though. New newsbeat imaging must be done by Friday! They normally nitroduce stuff at weekends, so maybe Saturday 4th September?

Certainly seems so. Although there will be alternate mixes of the further 5 news beds, plus 1xtra versions, but still seems they're going for a bargain. I'm also pretty sure that Pure Tonic will make it. What other stuff would they be doing for R1 now? There isn't any other imaging work available

Come to think of it, all this discussion seems to be regarding R1 news imaging. What do you think 1xtra versions will be like? I suppose they will have more 'whooshes and impacts' in the FX, have a stronger beat, and sound more 'urban'. Only some of them have to have 1xtra versions though: 1. 2 x Main News Ident Themes (Radio 1 & 1Xtra Versions of 3.00 Minute Duration each) 2. 2 x Sports Ident Beds (Radio 1 & 1Xtra Versions of 3.00 Minute Duration each) 3. 1 Weather Ident Bed (For use on both Stations – 1.00 Minute Duration) 4. 2 x News Out Stings (Radio 1 & 1Xtra Versions – This is a short closing audio statement to end the news report) 5. 5 x News Breakers (Alternate Beds of different pace/mood/genre - These are non station specific and could be used on either network) – Each at 4.00 Minutes Duration 6. 2 x Entertainment News Ident Beds (Radio 1 & 1Xtra Versions of 3.00 Minute Duration each) Come to think of it, it's quite a challenge. For the alternative mixes of the additional 5 news beds, they must apply to both stations, this must be tricky. Making 1xtra versions of main news and sport themes can't be that difficult. Is it me, or does 1xtra news only have that 1 bed? So, each station will get: x2 News In's x2 Main News Beds (prob used during normal news reports) x5 News beds with alt mixes (used for 12.45/5.45 and 1xtra 12/5 bulletins/) x2 Sports Beds x1 Weather Bed x2 News Closers x2 Entertainment news beds Seems like it will be a fairly small package compared to 2007/9. They had around 40-50 cuts!

Bit late, but that package started out in January 2005. The intro had a 3-note logo, and overall, the package has a lot less bass. In June/July, the intro was mixed into 4-notes, bass was increased, the news bed had a 4-note logo, weather was remixed etc. Throughout 2005 and 2006, the package was remixed a few times, eg more bass to heeadlines/weather, re-voiced versions etc

thanks Jono!!!

Sent a PM to him

That's what I'm thinking. I'll send a PM to Jono

I agree. I think Nihal was more suited to R1 in around 2008. He, just doesn't semm to have the talent he had two years ago. By no means, is he a bad DJ, but equally, he isn't a great one.

Should we bring something like that back? I think it would be a good idea

Do you reckon there should be a sub-category of the whole site called :'BBC Radio 1 Jingles', where all the jingle threads can be moved? Is it something you would consider Jono? The company that used to make BBC R1 jingles is called JAM: http://www.jingles.com/jam/radioids/demodl.php?fmt=2&pkgsearch=&stasearch=BBC+radio+1

I certainly think so. They were great back in their day, but now, it does seem like the right time for a replacement

I liked them, but to be honest, I think it's time for them to go. Thay've been with us since 2007, so I think it's time for them to go. I'm getting dare I say it, a little bit 'bored' with them?

It seems he's staying with Music4. I didn't know Pure Tonic had the contract for all of the station sound

Saw that, very nice!

good plan!

any news on this clip?

What do you think? I think it's clear he has presenting talent, that's applicable to a range of broadcasting shows. If you've got a minute, take a listen it's great on iplayer. Later on, should it be a permanent move?
