Want to become a DJ and have a live show/podcast on Elements Radio?

[Scaredgirl]

Let me know if I can help some way...

Links to some awesome free music songs would be amazing of you.   

When looking for music, this is the only link you'll need: http://www.jamendo.com/en/albums

When I started the whole Elements Radio project, I cruised around the web for hours and hours, trying to find good royalty-free music. Jamendo is by far the best site for that. It has all the different kinds of genres, and some of the music is very high quality that would easily be mistaken for commercial stuff.

Problem with most other sites is that the music is either really amateur stuff, or not royalty-free. You will save a lot of time if you use Jamendo and forget about the rest because you won't find a better source. Period.

Alright everybody, I have decided to pick this massive project up.     I've been on the fence for a long while, but I figured I had some extra time to contribute more.

I cannot do this alone, however, so I need everybody's help to figure the show's layout.  What type of music should I play?  How often?  Who should I interview, if we do that?  How would we communicate, Skype?  Not only that, but I also need a patient chat when I start asking how to pronounce everybody's name, since I will mispronounce something, I'm sure.

We already have a rough layout right now, but let's refine it.  Please and thank you!

PS:  Does everybody wish for me to do this anyway?  It's okay if you don't want me to.

Oh dear, this is going to be like telling a potato that it can't enter in the state fair, and must be chopped into little bite-sized pieces while being slowly deep fried into a delicious meal.

I cannot become the Elements DJ, contrary to what I've quoted.  As fans of my videos know, I just don't have as much time as I used to.  Thus, I just don't have the time required to make a quality show that meets my standards.  I'm still willing to help out when I can, but I cannot become the voice that some wish to hear when they enter chat.

I am sorry to whomever I've disappointed with me going back on what I've said before.

I think this is a pretty big project to take up alone dragoon1140.

This being said, if 3-4 Active people are Seriously interested into radio, id be up for it.

I dont have many experience as of now, but im ready to put all my time into it.

No worries, you are not the first one this has happened to. I think you were the 5th DJ who had to fold, which really makes me wonder whether or not this project will ever happen without any financial backing which would enable us to get pro or semi-pro DJ's.

We could in theory gather a team to do the whole thing, but that's a difficult project unless at least one team member has previous experience of running a radio show.

The future of Elements Radio looks uncertain, but we'll see. Who knows, I might even do it myself if everything else fails.

i have a microphone, but it's not that good, and it's not plugged in. i also have some experience with radio (the majority of it bad...). plus, i also have a tv within left arm's reach, so you'll be hearing what's on at time of recording too...but i do have really good graphic skills, so i could knock up a few images for it, if any images are needed

What would I need to make the show?

I have an idea of what I would put in it, but my main problem is that I don't have any audio editing programs.

I would obvious need to do some cutting and pasting, splice in some music, do some fade in, fade outs and put in some sound effects.

If you all can help me figure out a program, I will make a 10-15 minute demo recording (based on what I said earlier for ideas of the weekly recap/news show)

The Wizel steps up. 

Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) is a great, free audio editing program.  It isn't terribly hard to learn either, and if you have any questions they can be quickly found online.

thanks I will try it out. Give me a week to figure this all out.

Good luck. Lets see if you can pull off something where 5-6 others have failed If you need something, let me know.

If you're looking for more in-depth sound programs, FL studio (

) is pretty good. I'm not much for music-making myself, however.

If someone sets up a show thing and needs someone to talk to I'd be willing to donate an hour or two a week of my time.

working on this slowly despite technical issues. Hopefully within 24 hours I will have a demo.

Once I do have something how should I give it to you Scared Girl? Should I upload it to a site for you or?
