There are plenty of PDs who don't want transparency, and in fact who want processing that specifically puts their fingerprint on the sound and makes it sound different than everything else on the dial. Not necessarily better, just different. Is anybody still using reverb on the microphone channels? -- "Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid." --FZ Hi, Scott! |

Sheesh. Talk about mixing metaphors. None of the WABC jocks screamed, nor were they known as "boss jocks." I don't know what station you thought you were listening to, but it wasn't WABC. |

If memory serves, the "boss jocks" were an RKO General creation.
Yes...but even so, very few of them screamed, at least on the stations that Bill Drake consulted personally. He understood listener fatigue and tune-out quite well. It was usually the imitators who thought every jock had to scream. |

Can someone explain terms like the "air stream" or recommend a good web site for the lay-folk like myself. I am interested in following discussions like this, but I have no technical background in audio. Thanks...Michael |

Think back a minute: Herb Oscar Anderson (HOA) did not scream Ron Lundy did not scream Chuck Leonard did not scream Dan Ingram did not scream Cousin Brucie--does voice cracking constitute screaming??? Howerver: SuperMax bellowed Dick Biondi was frantic Joey Reynolds was nuts Gary Stevens pushed Wolfman Jack howled I could go on and on...I miss 'em all |

Hey, we got a station here where the airchain produces so much audible distortion on voices that the announcer mike goes through seperate and less aggressive processing (including some bizarre EQ but no reverb) and is injected into the airchain after most of the conventional processing chain. THAT is sick. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
