Planning SUB TAB Genres & Tempos "Getting Started"
Copied from DJB Radio Automation Manual "Getting Started"
Some ideas on organizing user's music for scheduling purposes
DJB Studio Audio Category Creation:
These are used in the MAIN TABS and SUB TABS
Category naming is unique to each user as it's based on the format & genres in programming.
Programmers should categorize audio items that will be stored in the audio database [HOT BUTTONS].
These could be categories such as:
a) [Music] - (MAIN TAB)
SUB TABS: Power Cuts, Currents, Recurrent, Oldies, Classics, Christmas (as examples)
Additional: Power Cuts Uptempo, Power Cuts Down Tempo and so on...
Note: This would allow the DJB RadioSscheduler to pick Power Uptempo music titles to open or close a schedule hour
This all depends on the sound and tempo your Internet or radio station, or Podcast has within the program playback.
Other SUB TAB names for Internet Radio are:
b) Bumpers
c) Station ID's / Imaging
d) Promo's
e) Commercials
f) Liners
