CONTEXT: This week i carried on with my FMP, Where I am producing and presenting my own show.
RESEARCH:
Story: I Looked into what was going on in the local area by using DORSET ECHO where I are able to find stories and news all geared towards the local area , these stories are commented online on the site and gain interest on Facebook, this helps me decide what to talk about. I also our in-house prep sheet made by our crew full of local events that have been shared with us or they have found.
For national news I use ProducerJamie, a prep sheet full of celeb news and useful stuff as well.
Technical: This week i used all the kit i have used in the past, and in order to fix an to use a new bit of software:
–Myriad RES: Myriad RES (Remote Edit Server/Service) Is the middleman between Myriad Playout 5 And Myriad Anywhere, it creates a secure tunnel between the two used to transfer data – This is the only option on the market but works well – https://www.broadcastradio.com/using-myriad-playout-remotely-v4-and-v5
-DANTE Rednet: This is the physical and digital sound card used in the studios all controlled over AOIP (Audio Over IP) (Basically Audio Over The Internet!) this controls what goes where and is designed to send multiple signals at once. The REDNET Is the hardware that hosts a lot of it that links back to the server and also the main desk – this suits what we need as its modular and also used in a wide range of studios – https://focusrite.com/products/rednet-d64r
Stylistic: please see the stylistic research page.
PROBLEM-SOLVING:
Problem: The Audio in the studio kept cutting out in the recording causing me to have to re record the affected links.
Solution:It looked like a DANTE Issue so i stopped it and re started it, which solved it for a short time however after speaking to tech support it seems to be a network wide issue.
Problem:The Mic that i normally use in the studio was not working
Solution: I Removed the XLR, Cleaned the port and it was fine after.
Problem: Myriad Anywhere was being slow uploading links to the system and downloading audio on my end.
Solution: I Went onto our remote server and researted the Anywhere hosting PC & Restarted the RES (Remote Edit Service) on the main server, doing this worked perfectly and allowed me to upload longer links and it was much faster for the rest of the week!
PRACTICAL SKILLS: This weeks show went well with all episodes going out and engaging content that the audience reacted well to. My show plan for the week is here. The connections theme I introduced a few weeks is Woking well
