Communique From Radioland

This is odd. A post without an audio link. There is a reason to this madness. I just wanted to hip you folks to some coolness happening here over the next several weeks.

See, I have been a bit busy at the Radioland World HQ Desk. Several fantastic things have happened of late and just about all of them were recorded. The next post here will be the second part of the Cash McCall and Butch Mudbone appearance. Plus another great tune from those two. Following that, there is an appearance with Frank Roszak. Frank is THE promoter of the stars. He'll be bringing the words about what it takes to make it in the music business. From his point of view. And the view is remarkable.

But wait, there's more.

Llou Johnson spent some time in Radioland with us and he has some great words to add to your ears. No, that is not a typo. Big Llou spells his name like that. Anyway, Llou is a voice actor, actor, imaging guy with Sirius/XM and musician. Plus, he's an all-around great guy. His appearance is sure to please.

Since this is, in fact a communique from The World Desk, I feel I should take a moment to address an issue we have been in contention with. The simple matter of audio quality. We blew out a mic pre-amp some time ago. It happens. In fact, let me extol upon you people the fine quality of Behringer and their studio equipment. Yes, we use Behringer pre-amps and compressors in Radioland. There's a couple of reasons for that. First, they are priced just right. Second, they sound great. I can tell you this as well, NEVER in their history has their equipment been put through the extensive use put anything through.

This is not some pitch to their gear. It's your money, spend it where you like. But I can tell you even though they never designed their gear to endure what we put it through, we ran their stuff hard. And still do. Five years, powered on and running without missing a beat. For consumer grade stuff, that says a lot.

Two pre-amps ultimately had to be retired from on air service at Radio Memphis. But dig this, one of the boxes was cleaned and serviced and put into another system and runs like a champ in its new limited capacity. Perfect for its new duties.

By the way, the original compressors are still on the air and sound fantastic.

Could we do better? Sure. Are we happy with the way things are now? Absolutely.

Now, back from around the barn here. We went without a pre-amp for a bit while we awaited the delivery of the new box. This is why the first Butch Mudbone & Cash McCall episode sounded a little strange. We did some post production magic and cleaned up the audio some for part 2 and I hope you'll be happy with the improvement.

Full sails and a tail wind have graced us and you fine people are the ones to benefit.

In the meantime, please share the show to all you know on social media. That is what makes it work for us.

Since there is no audio to go with this post, I'll leave it the way I do From Radioland. Take care of yourselves and take care of one another and we'll see you next time. I'm Ric Chetter and this is from Radioland!

Stay tuned...

By the way... all the posts from here get shared virtually everywhere. This one? Nope. Because, you are special.
