Need sound help for WRAF

[lava]

Hey guys, I'm planning on bringing back WRAF, since it's been on hiatus for a while (I didn't have a job, but I have one now.) One of the things I need is people who can do sound effects, either with fruity loops or whatever... this is going to be pretty serious, and there's going to be deadlines and everything... you know the deal. So if you want to help out, reply here.

Also, I'm looking for more DJs... right now the only DJs would be Soul and I (and maybe Kit)... if you want to do your own shows for WRAF, you need to make sure you know flash....

Thanks
Raf

Hey Lava...

I could certainly do a few shows man but I dont think I could comit to one every week. Thats why I never did the metal show....

[asphaltcowboy]

hehe, I used to do Savage Radio for a bit. Music and quake 3 commentary :) Not sure I'll actually have much time at the moment.. but maybe we'll see. My online situation is hazy since my pc isnt on the network.

btw, "if you want to do your own shows for WRAF, you need to make sure you know flash" - why is that exactly?

[morse]

he does the show interface in flash... well actually you do it in flash and then send it to him.

[prstudio]

so what do you need... like dance music? i can do that stuff, and dex can as well

[RussianBeer]

Hey I wouldnt mind Dj'ing But what kind of stuff do I need to play.. etc.. if u post more info for DJ's I can do it!

[morse]

Just sweet music from bands few people have heard of... No Dave Mathews, no Metalica, no Cake etc...

[asphaltcowboy]

so what would be required of us if we were to help raf? do we record it and send it to you? what bitrate do we use? mp3? legal restrictions? what's all this about doing it in Flash? what about a timelimit? etc etc FAQ* please :)


*FAQ = Fundamental asphalt Questions ;)

[asphaltcowboy]

details! DETAILS! :)

[Soul]

impatient! IMPATIENT! :P

[asphaltcowboy]

:P

well, I've already noticed him on here twice (?) today! does he not read his own threads? :) I wanna help! :P heard some of your show btw m8 ;)

[asphaltcowboy]

"details! DETAILS!" was actually just a *bump* in disguise, I thought he might notice the thread again if I did that... but no :*(

[Soul]

Perhaps he's ignoring you because he doesn't want you to have a show :bad:

- Soul :s:

[morse]

lol

[asphaltcowboy]

possibly. but I clearly rock. anyway, you sounded really bored in your show ;)

*cough* j/k *cough*

[lava]

Man, I guess I got me a stalker..

anyways... here's how it works. You submit ten songs to me, and I approve of them. 2 of them can be mainstream, and I always have the final say on that.

Then you go ahead and make the show... the instructions are at http://wraf.lavaland.net/player/template.htm

If we get enough DJ's, I'll relax things to a show every two weeks.

[asphaltcowboy]

sounds like a whooole load of effort. so you record your voice separately? all the inbetweens? and then stick it all together?

[lava]

Yeah... what I do is record my voice, convert it to an MP3, and just import all the MP3s into the flash document and stick them appropriately in the timeline. I know Soul likes to do it a little bit different - he does the whole show on SoundForge, and then makes me stick it in the flash thing...

[RussianBeer]

Alright, this sounds good. I want to help So can I just create you guys something, or do u guys need aproval from a big giant head before letting me do it?

[lava]

Beer... right now I'm trying to make a game plan for WRAF... in the meantime, you can provide me with suggestions as to what you would do with your radio show, and what kind of content would be there.

You also have to realize that this is complete volunteer stuff... at least for now, and I need dj's who are going to be committed to this

[asphaltcowboy]

well... live feeds (shoutCAST) are always really cool... if you've got a server (or no someone that has :)). How long are the shows btw? Cos chat is always good. :)

[RussianBeer]

Well, usualy play music. Most of my favorite music, or the music I listen too in not mainstream. Also I have a wide taste in music, so I can dedicate each show to a diffrent type of music and so on.

[lava]

that's one of the things that I want to do eventually - have a dedicated server and play music 24/7. But this will have to do right now. I don't care how long the shows are, as long as they're 10 songs long...

[asphaltcowboy]

at least 10 songs? :)

[lava]

Yeah... You can make it as long as you want, but the minimum number of songs I require for any specific show is 10...

[asphaltcowboy]

no problemo :)

*makes a 3 hour-long show*

j/k ;)

[lava]

hey, if you want to... go ahead...

So what do you want to do with the show? How often, etc..

[asphaltcowboy]

hmm, tbh, I dont really know. I dont have a lot of time atm. esp this week with my exam.. personally I prefer SHOUTcast. unfortunately, the newest version of SHOUTcast doesnt let you record it, which would have made non-live feeds a lot easier and smoother as well - would have also meant you could post live shows that people missed. stooooopid SHOUTcast.

who knows, I might try and put something together over the weekend...

*tries to think of an 'angle'* :beam:

[lava]

the thing is that eventually, I want to have a flash player for it... we'll just have the mp3s on the server, and I'd write some php thing for it so that it streams...
