You know that JAM does internet radio station cuts for people who are wanting to buy them for $350 per cut.

However, I want to hear some Reelworld internet radio station cuts. If you have any, then will you post them on here for all of us to hear?

[IainJohnston]

Has been discussed on JM in the past.

I believe that its RW policy NOT to do Personal Cuts, so unlikely to find
anything (except for very dubious home-brew editing).

[m_hodgeyMember]

True Iain; there’s not many of those about. In fact, the only one I can think of right now is the 2006 cut for JingleNews.Com. Other than that, I recall that our very own Martin Lester had a Reelworld cut re-sung in 2005, but I think this was a competition prize.

[IainJohnston]

Hmm Do I detect an edit from “Personal” to “internet” in the title etc of this thread?
;^)

Otherwise, their DIY online Christmas module a few years ago had a few of us trying to play around with those!

[JustinSaysRadio]

I do not mind hearing the DIY christmas cuts either.

[IainJohnston]

“I do not mind hearing the DIY christmas cuts either”

They were not “real” as such – and indeed were a digitally generated (but very clever) modern version of a very old possibly PAMS or Gwinsound Christmas jingle from long ago.

[JustinSaysRadio]

May I still hear them?

[IainJohnston]

Unlikely – the facility on their website hasn’t been available for several years.
You’d have to find people with their own audio made up from it at the time.

[JustinSaysRadio]

How did they make those DIY christmas kit, and what did they have to choose from when it came to creating them?

[IainJohnston]

There were half-a-dozen “fixed length” Christmas cuts, in several music genre styles.
With a “Jingle Bells” fixed lyric.
A choice of four letters could be made, and these were each “sung” into the jingle.
The letters were clearly individually loaded into a grid database, which then played
them out into the cut as selected.

The whole thing was a very clever bit of digital audio processing.
:^)

And a “freebie”!

[JustinSaysRadio]

Do you have any examples?

[jonnoMember]

I think it only let you customise 4 letter US and Canadian callsigns. I do have a couple of rather childish ones making rude 4 letter words (W*** and C***). Hands up who else did this? ?

[JustinSaysRadio]

May I hear them?

[JustinSaysRadio]

Also, is there a way that I can make some custom jingles with what you used?

[jonnoMember]

[JustinSaysRadio]

I really want to make one that says KGFR as the call letters.

[JustinSaysRadio]

Jonno, thank you for sharing your jingles.

[jonnoMember]

I’m afraid not, the jingles are audio files which were created on the site Iain mentioned earlier.

[JustinSaysRadio]

That is too bad! Is there anything like this where I can generate radio jingles automatically?

[IainJohnston]

Jonno is right Justin – you’re several years too late!

Somewhere in the KenR (I think) Pro Paks or Ben Freedman IRS or whatever
there were individual letter “shouts” but not “sung” like I think you want.

Have you tried SonoDallas.com where the excellent Ken Justiss should be able
to do you some “budget but professional” material for Freeform Weekend
from Walters Media Group?

[JustinSaysRadio]

How do you know about my radio show?

[JustinSaysRadio]

I am planning on getting a job over the summer, and I am hoping to get enough money to buy a Reelworld Jingle or two.

[IainJohnston]

“How do you know about my radio show?”

Either you’re very young or you don’t understand the internet !
Your “handle” of JustinSaysRadio is all over the place, including TooYube.

Are you in Montana or Dakota then?

I very much doubt if you’ll be able to buy RW jingles.
Its not just the cost either.

Seriously, DO try SonoDallas – even $25 will get you something good,
from a well-known guy who has been in the jingles business for decades
:^)

Or save up from the summer job and treat yourself to a JAM Personal Cut;
Many of us on this Forum have done so (often!)

I live in Texas.
