The first task is to create a Category List of the different audio cuts that you plan to store in the Audio Cuts Database
Step 1: Audio Category Creation:
Category naming is unique to each radio station based on the format.
Programmers must include all your audio items that you plan to store in your audio database such as
a) Music
b) Bumpers
c) Station ID's
d) Promo's
e) Commercials
f) Liners
g) Sounders
and any other audio in the DJB Audio Cuts Database.
Category Creation Hint:
Use single letters for music genres, Double Letters for Power (Uptempo) aExample.
A - Pop Currents
AA - Power Pop Current
B - CHR Hits - Top 40
BB - Power CHR Hits - Top 40
Plan Your Category Naming 1st
Write out your Category naming strategy before you start building them. Make certain the Letters and naming make good programming sense.
Later, when you are building DJB Log Shells, selecting music will be easy when all music is single letters while all fills, breaks, commercials are Double Letters.
See next illustration for Categories as shown in the Production Audio Cuts Database
Use a spreadsheet to set up a plan for Category Naming before your start Audio Production
