THE PROGRAM DELAY MANAGER (THE DUMP BUTTON MACHINE) IS NOT ON. I CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO TURN IT ON.
update to last week's post--the signal has been fixed and sounds normal again (hooray!), and the OnAir light over the RIU2 Studio door is off again, but the status of the OnAir light over the main studio door still remains, and the dump/delay device is still off, so 12 sec dump is still not available
As has already been addressed on the staff email, the over-air broadcast sound is distorted, sounds over-driven, like the VU levels are into the red, even though they are not, so something along the line needs to be reset, recalibrated, etc. Also , the delay system is off, the display screen is dark, so no dumping is possible, and don't know how to turn it back on, power switch must be in back somewhere, unless it got unplugged? Don't know, don't want to go poking around with things I don't know. Also, it's hot in the studio again, but I'm guessing that the building AC also needs a reset, but that's not your problem. One other thing- there is no one in the RIU2 studio, but the On Air light is lit over the door, so is the mic on inside, or is that another reset issue? And...their On Air light works, but ours has been out for a whole year, now! It has been noted here, maintenance was notified, they said they would fill out a work order, a note was posted on studio door, which is still there, but still, it has not been fixed!! Since a work order was filled out, it sounds like it is something they have to do, we can't just change a light bulb ourselves, it's more involved than that....anyway, things to look into. Thanks.
THERE IS ONLY ONE (RED) PATCH CABLE HERE. ITS TOO SHORT TO RUN FROM AUX 2 (TOP DECK). THE AUX PORT IS ON THE FAR RIGHT SIDE OF THE DECK. WHERE IS THE LONGER CORD? AUX 1 SOUNDS INCREDIBLY TINNY.
Needle on TT2 cartridge is broke off.
Broken needle
Not suitable for DJ use. Please replace with a Numark or new Tascam. Issues are:
1) No single playback mode. 2) Display does not provide track # nor time used/remaining on a track; 3) Also useless without the remote which is nowhere to be seen.
Volume in relation to other CD players is very low.
CD4 very unreliable, screwed up my show twice. CD1 also failed once. Embarrassing! New player worked OK, despite quirky controls. At least we can fast fwd. and reverse--not an option with the Numark units.
The Mics have a lot of distortion. Received numerous complaints from listeners.
This is the second week in a row
TT1 still has a severe buzz. You also have to almost max out the volume to play it over the air
Both Mics #1 and #3 sound terrible. Much static and tinny
TT1 has a severe hum.
Volume for all four CD players needs to be recalibrated and balanced. Also, the Marantz player (CD 2) is not radio friendly without a cue capability.
MIC 2 FELL OFF THE MIC STAND AND IS STRIPPED OUT. WILL NOT GO BACK UPRIGHT. NONE OF THE MICS ARE 100% FUNCTIONAL AT T HIS POINT.
The cd player is working bu tthe levels are quite low. Have to max out to get good output
CD players 1, 2 and 4 all malfunctioned with different discs that played OK on my home machine. Frustrating and embarrassing !
the pledge form site went down --"server not found" and "problem loading page" the other two terminals are still okay, happened earlier, jazz DJ told me about it when I came in
Tried to stream content from wriu on my phone and booth computer. streaming doesnt appear to be working.
have set op ststion playlist correctly. The way I do it every week. no sound. Erika said that it wasn't on when she came in this morning. I sent emails to the list. Erika said she would message Bill when I talked to her. I can't find his contact info
