[nabs-l] questions about sound eddeting software and boards.

[Corbb O'Connor]

Hi Kevin,

I'm a DJ myself, and it can be tough with the levels. I have learned-- 
the hard way--that if I can hear music "crackling" if the levels are  
too high, it's much worse for the listeners! What I mean to say is  
that levels are tough and it's not something I've found very easy to  
"just listen for." I can see enough to see the levels, but here's my  
recommendation. See if one of your fellow DJs can set your mic level  
and your guests' level. Then I'd just use the on/off switching for the  
inputs, and hope for the best. For music, typically our music computer  
is pre-set and has equipment to ensure a constant level, so I don't  
have to worry about that. CDs, though, could be tough; I use my laptop  
instead of CDs for that reason, plus the convenience of carrying a  
computer instead of several CDs.

Good luck, and send any other radio questions my way!
Corbb

Hello folks. I have some questions. First does anyone know if Sony  
Vagus works with Jaws? Second, I will be working at a radio station as  
an intern. I wonder what is the best way I can tell if my levels are  
to high before I put something over the air. Do you know if I can get  
something that will beep at me if the levels are high? This is because  
I will not be able to see the meter on the board. I will talk to you  
later.
