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.
