Tutorial

Basic Theory

Pgm, Aud, Tel

The little buttons above the volume sliders decide where the sound on that line will go.

• PGM: output goes to the Program Computer to be broadcast live.
• Aud: output goes to Adobe Audition recorder.
• Tel: output goes to the telephone lines.

Going Live

The master computer directs all output from the board to the air, starting around 16:00:01, and takes the output from the board off the air around 16:56:31.

Either it works or it doesn't.

Getting the show on the air is not the lowly moderator's problem.

How to Set Up for the Show

Start Spark Chat

• Double-click the Spark icon.
• Select conference chat.
• Fuss with name to personalize it and get the desired color scheme. “Daughter of Zion” apparently is not a good color. “father” is hot pink.

Start Adobe Audition

• Double-click on icon.
• Click record button.
• A small window will pop up asking confirmation of the default bit rate. Click OK.
• May start this early. The material recorded before the program begins can be trimmed.
• Make sure that the recording track is not highlighted.
  • Black = not highlighted; white = highlighted.
  • If it is highlighted, it will stop recording at the end of the highlighted block.
