murste 63 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 It sounds terrible. Seems they're going down the route of "This is Capital from Global", "From Global's newsroom" etc. Don't see the need for the BBC to do it, especially now that their charter has been renewed so there's no real need for a marketing push with the public.

Ant L 51 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Some sound problems on Cel's show today. The imaging was playing in terrible quality. The Adele Roberts version of the Best New Pop intro also played out in error. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The studios don't work the same as they did in Yalding (mainly because these use Studer desks and Yaldings were DHD). Basically if they've got the cartwall faded up on the bank of faders next to the CDJs and they fade it up on the main desk as well it makes it sound weird like that because it's the same audio being put into the mix, but because it's all digital there is a very slight delay between channels! When was this jingle slip up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

murste 63 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I wish they'd just get on with it and change everything properly. I like the old 4 voiceovers but having a mish-mash between them and the new ones just sounds messy. Not a fan of the 1Xtra-sounding male tbh- really liking Mike Wooller, the original New Music Friday female VO and the other female VO (the one on the Little Mix-Touch power intro). They're all sounding great. I do miss Scott's personal beds- the one that went "Scott Mills-1" with Merv and then a dancey bed was great and the other one that said "This is Scott Mills, BBC Radio 1" and then a heavier, grimier(?) bed was great too. Gonna miss them in the 1:15 link. I think the KDA-Turn the Music Louder power intro (was on Scott's show at 3:36 today) is my favourite- sounds SO good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes! And it's even more annoying seems as he is a fellow radio 1"nerd" (so to speak)! My main issue is the chart... please revoice the chart next!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know exactly what you mean, sounds like we're on the same wavelength. A mish-mash between old and new is not professional. When the NMF intros with Mike Wooller launched last April, I wasn't a fan of these, but admittedly they have grown on me. These are proper power intros, whereas the rest by Imgur aren't really powerful in the slightest. At first I wasn't sure if bringing Mike back was a wise move, any jingle geek will easily remember he was on the old ones up until September 2014. They sounded great, but these ones with him sound better. Scott's old beds were great, probably some of the best to come out of the 2014 lot. And I love that KDA-Turn the Music Louder power intro.

I'm sure it'll eventually be replaced. The Newsbeat voiceovers dont need changing yet, especially if the main jingle stays the same, otherwise it'll all sound out of place.

The Pure Jingles package will never be completely dead, that is evident at 2:55 in the montage - have a listen. The new Clafa Amfo intro sounds like Dev in it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ant L 51 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 FYI http://radiotoday.co.uk/2017/01/new-wisebuddah-station-imaging-for-radio-1/ I wonder why the Newsbeat imaging hasn't been updated yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forde52 43 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 I had a feeling WiseBuddah were behind the new imaging! The IMGR Song intros were a bit of a give away. Newsbeat is technically part of BBC News, so maybe they've got to wait for their say before anything happens there? Unless there is no new Newsbeat yet... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm personally loving this new imaging, it blows the last 2 years out of the water (although Pure did produce some awesome TOHs during those 2 years).

The rest of the imaging isn't a clear, simple theme. We have mixes thrown about of all sorts that make it sound like a different station between most songs. The length of time it took to introduce these, and the "creeping in" is just highly unprofessional for a national station, nearly a year! The radio industry might want to go this way with power intros, but they really don't suit the station. They've tried too hard and ballsed it up. The breakfast show idents have been ruined too. thebeuter 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
