Playing Music (CD, Vinyl, RadioDJ)

In the studio, we have four methods for playing music: using CDs, using vinyls, using the AUX cables (meaning you can plug in your MP3 player or laptop) or using RadioDJ (our new computer software).

CDs and Vinyls


We have a CD player in the studio as well as two vinyl decks. To use these, change the channel to the correct audio source (using the A/B button). For CDs, putting up the slider automatically starts the CD playing and putting the slider down automatically stops playing. For vinyl, you'll need to start it playing first.

AUX cables


We have two AUX cables in the studio for you to use. You can use these to plug in audio devices such as MP3 players, laptops etc. You need to make sure the device you are using is set to maximum volume! If you are using a laptop, make sure the music-playing software and the laptop are set to full volume. Remember, any sound made by your device (such as from a Youtube video) will be played out!

RadioDJ
RadioDJ is our new automation software. It is important every presenter understands how RadioDJ works. The Radio Committee will be adding music to RadioDJ over the coming months. The music team will be updating their playlists on RadioDJ regularly. Also if the show after you does not show up, you will need to use RadioDJ to fill the dead air. To play music using it, you will need to use the channel 'PC1'.
