mAirList - Free BBC R1 style software


newsbeat

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Radio 1 use software from 'VCS', a foreign company. They make the cartwall software/ standard 'On-Air Control' software and other bits and pieces used across the BBC.

However, sign up to this site, and you can get software like they use on Radio 1, for free if approved!

Well worth a look. It does take 1-3 days to approve your licence application though.

Latest additions:

- Full Imaging Beds package (2009-2010)

- 2009 re-voice by Music4 (DRY+WET IDs, chart numbers 1-40)

- BBC Top Gear - Backing beds used in programs

I've had this software for fair few years now when it had only just started out. It's actually fully customisable so you can change all the layout and create your skins for the software.

I don't really use it much but it is pretty cool, however runs slow on my laptop - think that is more my tired laptop's fault!

Does anyone else find the cartwall loads slowly inbetween cart sets?

Yeah - i use other software for cartwall for my personal use.

It's called DAC Cartwall, its really good and at www.charliedavy.co.uk

It is free to run for 30 minutes at a time, but is only £15 to purchase. It customises well, and loads quite quickly. Would recommend it!

I use 'Jingle Palette' works very well! The .zip of the files is very hard to find, but here it is!:

Scroll down a bit down the above page to get the link.

You MUST save your 'palettes', or else when you change 'palette', unless you've saved your palette, you will lose the 'palette' you just set up.

Another good program, which is double the price of the DAC program, is 'CombiWave', you get a 'basic' version, where you get 3 slots, but pay about £35 and you get 99.

It works by pressing keyboard buttons, and it's fine with :.wav .mp3 .wma .ogg and others

It's fine handling bit files, even some R1 beds, which are full .wav files, are around 50MB, and they play in an instant

I like the Combi wave software as it is easy to use. Does anyone know of any software like combiwave where you can assign tracks/jingles to keyboard buttons but that has the ability to record it aswell? I currently use Atomix MP3 which gives you your F keys (e.g.F5) to assign tracks/jingles to but Combiwave gives you much more choice and extra buttons to use!

Capes :)

Radio stations here in Switzerland use that software as well. I always wondered how the DJs know when to stop talking before the singing starts... :)

I now have a free copy too, I like how they're giving it away to everyone. And I already played around with it a bit, I love it!!

Yeah, incase you lot haven't already done it yet, go onto C/Program Files/Mairlist/config.bat

You can change loads of stuff around on there, such as hotkeys, the number of 'carts' you have ect.

    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
    • Vick and Jordan together on Insta (with Ariel’s) in Ibiza. You do imagine Jordan’s ex colleagues have a very different attitude to him than management. Comments on Help! And very subtle comments on Capital Breakfast suggest Jordan was frustrated with Radio 1 / BBC management.  
    • I can name quite a few people on this forum who would be better presenters than Danny.
