Two years on the air! They said it wasn’t possible – it couldn’t be done. And I proved them… Actually, no one said any of that. But the station is on and broadcasting 24/7. It’s been quite a year and let me, DJ Daemon tell you about all the stuff we’ve been through together.One hour of the newest additions to the station of tracked music.00:00 ericade.radio – Good evening, here is another hour of tracked music00:06 DJ Daemon: Two years! On the 13th of September 2020, we started broadcasting. And we’re still on. We’ve talked about the creation of the station on a previous episode. So this hour is just a look back at all the mayhem, chaos, broken songs and also some the bad stuff that have happen.

Tracklist

  1. Good evening, here is another hour of tracked music ericade.radio
  2. Two years! On the 13th of September 2020, we started broadcasting. And we’re still on. We’ve talked about the creation of the station on a previous episode. So this hour is just a look back at all the mayhem, chaos, broken songs and also some the bad stuff that have happen. Intermission · 0:24
  3. Flirt talk Malmen
  4. better audio and why not a bit of recognition. Jono Woodward’s voice had replaced Nicole’s and the first version of the music database was already online. And it all was looking up. Intermission · 0:47
  5. Nights Darkhalo
  6. Our show and podcast, Flashback – tracks from the past, ran every week with few exceptions. Intermission · 0:50
  7. Ascention Coretex
  8. Getting the best sound was quite a challenge. I had already automated importing the tracker tunes, so they all had the same sound levels and track information. I also put a lot of effort in tuning the broadcast processor running the whole station. This almost got out of hand with countless evenings testing, trimming and measuring. Intermission · 0:33
  9. SDXB – #5 DNA-Groove
  10. I decided to create an emergency playlist-generator in order to handle outages. It didn’t really end where I thought it would. Instead of a mere playlist generator, it became a station in its own right. It ran all the old shows and had news from Feature Story News every hour. Getting all that to work was quite an undertaking. Intermission · 0:52
  11. Distant heavens Tnk
  12. As I was no longer broadcasting live after August 2021, focus shifted towards developing the website and the database. I built the dashboards showing the operation of the station. It looked like the NASA space center in my 3 square meter work room. Screens, panels and cables everywhere. Intermission · 0:33

  14. We’re celebrating two years a on the air. Intermission · 0:13
  15. The Big Data Psirius
  16. How would I know if the songs I play choose were unpopular? With the database I could rank the worst offenders by checking what was playing when people disconnected. But I decided to ask the listeners. And so was done by adding a Star-system, allowing users rate what was playing. It worked perfectly. Intermission · 0:44
  17. Journey to Micronesia Tnk
  18. There’s no way you can make our broadcast software, PlayIt live, to accept listener requests. This I was told. That was my “challenge accepted – hold my beer”-moment. Given the data we had, I built a Rube Golberg-esque machine that made the users able to search for songs. It made quite a splash on the Facebook-group with the other PlayIt Live broadcasters. I even got two offers to sell the solution. Intermission · 0:51
  19. Night Air Melcolm
  20. During 2022, the show started focusing on the music and the demo parties over stortytelling. I created a series of episodes showcasing different genres of music. I also improved audio quality and threw out all Amiga-tunes twice to remaster them with better sound. They’re all now pretty darn well-sounding and in mono. Problem finally solved.
