Audio Category Creation & NamingLaunch The DJB Radio PROD SUITE MENU by clicking on the [ORANGE] PROD SUITE ICON
DJB Radio PROD Menu [As seen on software start-up] Step 1: To begin setting up the Audio Cuts Database in DJB Radio:
Access the Audio Categories database first by selecting the [Scheduler] button as below.
The Scheduler Menu below provides a variety of Buttons - Select the [EDIT CATEGORIES] Buttton Step 2: Audio Category Creation: Category naming is unique to each user as it's based on the format of the station.
Programmers must create a Category letter for all your audio items that you plan to store in your audio database such as
a) Music - Power Cuts, Currents, Recurrent, Oldies, Classics, Christmas (for example)
b) Bumpers
c) Station IDs / Imaging
d) Promos
e) Commercials
f) Liners
g) and any other audio planned for the DJB Audio Cuts Database.
The [CATEGORY SETUP] window is illustrated below - showing some pre-made assigments by the manual author
The default [CATEGORY SETUP] window with new DJB Radio software will show Letters with NO ASSIGNMENTS
Step 3: Category Name Planning: Write out your Category "Letter" Assignment naming strategy.
It is a good idea for the Letters and names to make logical sense. I.e. C for commercials, N for news, etc.
Later, when you are building DJB Log Shells, selecting audio types for your daily schedules will be much easier.
The table below is an example Category naming scheme.
The Category names will be visible in the Audio Cuts Database and the Scheduler.
The image below is the main Production window with the Category column circled in red.
As illustrated below, see Category Assignments in the DJB Radio Scheduler [Log Shell Editor]
