critiques

I went to a session today, almost on accident which turned out to work to my benefit.  The advisor did not show up to the original session I planned on attending so I jumped over to another session that was held.  It was critiquing others production samples and DJing styles.  I thought it was very interesting.  Just hearing what everyone else around the country is doing.  One of the girls who was brought on as a guest DJ to one of the FM stations did a fantastic job.  I honestly thought that she was a co-host and then I found out she just won a contest to be on air it was crazy.  She did awesome.  She was so confident and hyped up about what she was doing.  It was  refreshing to hear.

Another guy came in from NC.  He brought in a lot of the production samples.  The techniques they used worked really well.  Their effects added a lot to their station whether it was lines, ID’s, or whatever…it was good.  They also used an example with a great band they had on so safe to say, I will be contacting Nova Stella ASAP and I’m listening to them as I’m writing this.  They were great.

Another great sample that I heard was from Ithaca.  For their “rush”, which would be our recruitment day, they made a promo that said everything that they did at the station.  Usually, our station just gets up and gives a speech about what we do but this station is taking that next step and actually incorporating what they really do at the station into their “rush”.  I thought that was a really good idea.  They had their liners, a few examples of promos and things like that in the tape with a little bit of their history.  GREAT IDEA!

Everyone have a fun and SAFE Halloween and see you at the closing tomorrow!
