Have 1tros been phased out?

[Jono 36]

They don't seem to be used very often now with the new Radio 1 sound effects being used after the news. So is this the end of the 1tros if someone else picks up the contract for the station sound?

[tvguy101 10]

I actually miss them. The station sounds really generic now without the four notes being played behind the "BBC Radio One" spoken liners and sound effects.

I'll make a montage of my favourites, should be ready soon

[newsbeat 10]

Here you go, what do you think? These are my favourites, especially, Example Kickstarts and Marina and The Diamonds - Hollywood

Why have I never noticed these before? They're quite good..

Love these ! They shouldn't get rid of them... but I think the question is, would they be missed ?

[Lucie 10]

I'm a bit of a Matt Fincham geek when it comes to 1tros

Hopefully they'll just be 'on a break'

[newsbeat 10]

Hopefully they'll just be 'on a break'

So do I, they're excellent

[Anne O Rack 10]

Hope they've not phased them out. I love the subtlety of the branding of the 1tros, and it makes R1 stand out from the crowd, imo.

The Diana Vickers and Lady gaga ones are my favourites.

[Tom. 10]

As Jono said they've probably disappeared until the new branding contract is sorted out...

[awinfield999 10]

Agree... Music 4 have made the 1tros in the past but they've also stopped posting demos on their site in ages. I remember in the past 1tros were replaced with IDs, but it only happened for a week or so and then they were back. They've gone for nearly a month now - so they better come back! Hope they sort out with Music 4

[Lucie 10]

Hopefully they won't leave Music 4. I love all the work they do with the station, especially Moyles' jingles. Maybe they'll still happen with another company, or another approach may improve it, but here's hoping nothing changes too soon.

[Patriot 10]

It looks like they have phased them out almost completely. Any way we could get an archive of the old 1tros?

[newsbeat 10]

What new branding contract? Unless you mean the news imaging/ new ID's?

[awinfield999 10]

wasnt sure about the new contracts - i thought radio 1 was mostly on wise buddah / music 4 but they've used loads of companies in the past:

Puretonic Media - Gilles Peterson

IQ Beats - Old Chart Show beds

Music 4 - Chris Moyles and previously 1tros

Wise Buddah - FX and they did the 2010 Big Weekend Themes

Panther Sounds - also did some stuff in the past.

[newsbeat 10]

They also used David Lowe for newsbeat, Music4 did lots of newsbeat stuff, and before 1995, pretty much everything was JAM. In '95-97, it was Groove Addicts or Who Did That Music.

Also, the surgery themes are made from production music from library CD's. I am desperate to get these!

I really hope they don't leave music4. They're stuff for BBC R1 is always great, such as SMTM, Moyles, Newsbeat , 1tros etc

Here's a little 1tro minimix I've made... I have too much spare time during summer holidays! 8)

[newsbeat 10]

That's superb! Well done, nice work

[awinfield999 10]

@jw16 (and 'newsbeat' if you do), do you have any of the IDs used in your demo? Could you send them over to me? jw16, I have all the world cup SFXs/Drones/Beds I can send you back, when I get back from Holidays...

[awinfield999 10]

Got a question for you forumers....

I have some full 2 minute versions of these beds, and they sound familiar. However, could one of you tell me where they were from?? Have no idea, but have a listen and see....

Thanks!

I've never heard any of those before. :confused:

[awinfield999 10]

Step forward, a long time ago @newsbeat made a demo of some beds.... (ive attached it again), but 'newsbeat' can you tell me where they were broadcast and when? Thanks

And if jw16 or newsbeat have any IDs, then you can send them to [email protected] - without messing around with PM stuff.

Thank you!

[newsbeat 10]

Was sent those a while ago for free, but then discovered they were from this production library.

I have the full cuts from the 'electro' beds, Newsbytes, hard news and full service news, aswell as the full Summer Selection:

[newsbeat 10]

Seems like they're stuff is primarily aimed at AC and Soft AC stations, rather than Radio 1's CHR output

[jw16 10]

@jw16 (and 'newsbeat' if you do), do you have any of the IDs used in your demo? Could you send them over to me? jw16, I have all the world cup SFXs/Drones/Beds I can send you back, when I get back from Holidays...

Hey Awinfield, sorry I already the World Cup package! However if you get anything else of interest just send me a message on here or whatever and we can trade.

Have a nice holiday!
