75orLess Radio FAQ
So how does making a radio episode work? Basically, you record it at home on a computer and email it in! Here are the steps to making that happen:
- First, thank you!
- You will need a computer, a microphone – laptops have them standard nowadays – (usb microphones also work great) and mp3/wav/aiff formatted music to play. *** My advice is to start by organizing your music collection. By having your music ready to go, it makes everything else easier. ***
- You will need a free music program, such as Audacity or Garageband. I also hear that Logic works if you use a Mac.
- Mess around with the free software and learn the basics. That is all you need to create a show.
- Record your show. I can show you how to do this in Audacity, or you can figure it out. You are free to talk or play as much music as you want. No racism or other bigoted stupidity will be tolerated.
- Recording a weekly show is ideal, but less than that works too. As far as length goes, an hour is typical, but 30 minutes is acceptable. Also, think of a name for your show.
- During your show, (if you do speak) mention you are part of the “75orLess Community Internet Radio Network.” at least once.
- Email the following items to [email protected]: One large music (mp3) file – your completed music file should be between 30-130MB in size– quality should be 192kb or less, along with a photo, and a playlist.
- I will upload your file to Archive.org and convert your show into an mp3 link. I will post a link each day to Facebook, Instagram, Blue Sky, & Threads letting people know who you played and a link to listen.
- We currently use Archive.org for our file hosting, but please keep your older show episodes saved in a safe place!
- It’s fine to take a week off! If you are burnt out, take time to refresh! Take two if needed! This is supposed to be fun!
- Shows are posted here: https://75orlessrecords.com/75orless-radio/ and hosted here
- How many listeners to we have? We estimate between 7-90 listeners per day according to our stats.
- Please send any questions to: [email protected] or through Instragram!
- Thank you again!
