Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

[capes]

You're probably right a selection is good enough for a portfolio whether it be old or new i guess

[newsbeat]

I'm afraid Pure Tonic probably won't update their portfolio. You have to remember, this is a big contract, and it's exclusive to Radio 1, on a 'one-off' basis.

However, on the portfolio, you get a good sample of what they've produced, e.g. Idents, Triggers, Branded Intros, Workparts etc.

They do sound good, and from listening to the station, a set of new idents/triggers, based around 1 theme, will be introduced each month.

Judging by the other stuff on the portfolio, they put a set of cuts on there, and leave it. If paying customers/broadcasters want to her more, I'm sure Pure tonic would send a showreel/more cuts.

They probably wouldn't just hand out work, that many, many hours has gone into to enthusiasts.

I reckon there might be a bit of a refresh in December:.

New Newsbeat jingles to be introduced then

and maybe we will be seeing more from these Branded Intros? I think they'll replace the old 1tros, as IDs before songs have only been temporary. I hope they bring them in though.

They refreshed some stuff in December before, and it might be perfect time for newsbeat and branded intros from 1 Imaging

Just thought i'd say i've found Scott's opening bed that he uses now (heard it today), so PM me to do a little swap if you want it

[newsbeat]

Also, log onto PureTonic.com, click on the highlights on the left hand side, there's some new R1 bits in there

It's mainly demonstrating their brilliant KISS package

I think there's probably some new stuff on 1maging now, i'd imagine its time for some new monthly bits.

[newsbeat]

You will hear some new idents and triggers monthly, heard some yesterday, they tend to be 'dance'/'electro'/'UKG' themed.

Bit upset about Music 4 if i'm honest. I produce station sound as one of my team for my job, and we were going to choose Music 4. They used to update nearly more than monthly, but due to the lack of updates they're putting on their site, it looks like they're not making new stuff so therefore we're not going with them. I think another member of the team are considering someone else to use.

[Jugalug]

They're not updating they're website, so you think they're not doing stuff any more, so you're not going to use them? Are you insane? Why don't you ask them?

[awinfield999]

the problem is.... i didn't ultimately make the decision but if a jingle company update jingles almost monthly, and then suddenly stop, then it gives off the wrong message.

Anyone be able to clip the R1 imaging bits from the new November edition on the PTM website please?

[awinfield999]

there you go. it's not very easy to clip, but i think thats okay.

[capes]

Excellent that's great stuff, how about the full November clip if you have it please. How do you download it as i dont really want to ask every month?

[newsbeat]

Download a sound editor (Audacity/Wavepad etc)

1) Turn stereo mix on (see web for how)

2) Turn down the master volume to about 20-30, or else the recording will sound distorted!

3) Press record

4) Done:)

For recording, I would recommend Wavepad, as it records in Stereo, and you can change the bit-rate from 8-320 kbps.
