Post your Demos and Airchecks in this thread

I'll start. Here is an unscoped demo I produced for a National version of my show. Never heard anywhere before! Kept under lock and key for a good reason. After I taped it I realized that no one in their right mind would give me a National show based on this piece of garbage. I probably should have sent it out anyway. Maybe the tape would have reached a high powered executive who was nutty enough to take a risk.

Pro-FM, back when they were still saying "WPRO," and pre-reverb!

"...IN STEREO!"

I'd forgotten that Pro-FM "borrowed" "Non-Stop Stereo Rock," from WDRC/Hartford, whose legendary creative GENIUS Program Director Charlie Parker had dubbed "Big D FM" "Connecticut's Non-Stop Stereo Rock."

This dude is interesting. His name is Boogie and he has a Wolfman Jack thing going on after every song.

That's Bob Cummings, as "Robert J. Boogie," "The Boogie Man," who started there when I did, in the summer of '74.

That summer, when I was still working full-time (6 days!) in Springfield, I'd drive to Providence to do a 7th and 8th day @ WPRO. Saturday night, I was simulcast from the FM studio downstairs; Sunday nights I played The Big Room in the new AM studio upstairs. On Saturdays, when I was simulcast, I also helped myself to a Big-D-ism, when I ID'd "WPRO FM-AND-AM, PROVIDENCE."

People would remark that I mentioned FM before AM. VERY cutting-edge stuff then. :)
 
So that is it? A bunch of radio people come here and nobody wants to post their airchecks besides ME? HaHa. I find that very amusing.
 
Are you hiring? No? No aircheck. Seriously though, I think the thrill of hearing other peoples' work is gone. It used to be you wondered what someone sounded like or what a station sounded like and sometimes you were lucky enough to hear airchecks the station you worked at got. Now there's no shortage of what and who you can hear. Also before voicetracking an aircheck was an example of your best spontaneous work. Now the finished on air product in many cases is spit shined and spotless and very often sterile.
 
I would love to post some of My Old KIX 106 or Extreme 88.1 Or even Some of My I 98 Stuff, But I don't have or know of the proper software to Rip it off of Tape on to Computer! Any Hints?

Use a audio cable to plug into the headphone jack on your tape player and then plug the other end into the imput jack on the back of your computer. A program such as Total recorder or Goldwave can be used to record the sound onto your computer. I use both.
 
apparently I am not technically savvy..how the heck do I post an aircheck
