[creative-radio] NEW AUDIO TOOL: Hindenburg - Audio Editing Software

TRANSOM.org
a showcase & workshop for new public radio
http://www.transom.org
October 25, 2010

* NEW TOOL: HINDENBURG - Audio Editing Software *

Transom is always interested in tools that make radio storytelling easier,
better, and cheaper. Lately, our Tools Editor Jeff Towne has been testing
some alternatives to ProTools and just test-drove Hindenburg from the
Danish Company, Nsaka, and finds it has the advantage of being designed
specifically for "us". Jeff says, "It's built by radio people for making
radio stories, podcasts and other documentary-style productions, rather
than multi-track music projects. The developers seem intent on keeping the
program simple and stable, easy to learn and use, even by non-technical
people."

And they have a free version. For both Mac and PC. Check it.
http://transom.org/?p=12909

Drop over any time,

Jay Allison
Atlantic Public Media
Woods Hole, Massachusetts
www.transom.org

=========================

"While we at Transom are not quite ready to abandon Pro Tools for all our
audio productions, Hindenburg is more than sufficient for many of them, and
provides a less-expensive, less-daunting entry point for reporters and
producers who wish to concentrate more on telling the story, and less on
the technique of digital editing."

-Jeff Towne, continued at Transom.org

Re: [creative-radio] Germany: Turkish group demands apology from Horst Seehofer, Bavarian state premier

 

How is this relevant, in any way, to radio?

Even though I personally moderate every post... some of the off topic ones sometimes do occasionally slip by...

[creative-radio] Bario Community Radio - Borneo

 

RT @creative_radio: Bario Community Radio - Borneo http://ow.ly/2YiwK Enrichment & preservation of the local indigenous cultures

http://www.ebario.org/bario-radio.html

In July 2009, e-Bario Sdn Bhd was awarded a grant by the Indigenous Peoples Assistance Facility of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) to set up a community radio station. Community radio is a form of low-power small-scale FM broadcasting that is run by and for the community it serves. The function of Bario Radio is to extend the information services of the e-Bario telecentre into the homes of the residents of the surrounding area.

It is expected that this innovation will result in:
- Enrichment and preservation of the local indigenous cultures; particularly languages, music, history, song and verse.
- Reductions in poverty as greater levels of information are diffused throughout the isolated indigenous communities relating to economic, educational and health-related activities.
- A more cohesive community; through the airing and discussion of social problems, for example relating to health, agriculture, economic activities or coping with emergencies.
- A better connected population; through the rapid and widespread communication of important messages.
- More socially inclusive Peoples; by reaching everyone in their homes, radio brings benefits to all demographic groups; women, parents, students, the elderly, small children, the unemployed.
- A more democratic organization; community radio facilitates discussion of local issues by local people and it provides a forum for debate between them and their elected representatives.
- More culturally robust Peoples. Community radio is an effective platform for promoting entertainments and the arts.

[creative-radio] CMFE news update: Hungarian free radios contribution in disaster aftermath

---Apologies for cross-posting---

www.cmfe.eu news update - 20 October 2010

Hungarian free radios contribution in disaster aftermath
by Gabriella Velics

Following the red sludge tragedy in Western Hungary, temporary community
radios started to broadcast news in the affected areas of Kolontar and
Devecser. Soon after the tragedy, which ruined the lives of thousands,
some Hungarian free radio leaders along with volunteers decided to
establish local emergency radio stations to broadcast news in the
affected area and provide the residents and aid workers with
information, interviews, and music. At the moment, more than 10
Hungarian community radios are working together, some people are at the
site, while others are helping them from a distance in different parts
of the country.

One of the studios is operating in the nearby city of Ajka. The Best
Radio's team-members are under 18 secondary shcool volunteers, but
volunteers from different Hungarian community radios are also there to
help their heroic work. The programme can be received in the area
exposed to the red sludge and at the web site of Best Radio Ajka.

The other studio is temporary and is situated in the affected area of
Devecser, where they were given a room in the parish building and built
a studio. Their team consists of volunteers from different Hungarian
free radios. Besides their daily "home- job- family" routines, they all
come to the studio and spend their spare time doing this voluntary work.

These free radio broadcasting setvices are called KHH (Közös Hullámhossz
Hírszolgálat) and can be received everywhere in the affected area as
well as on the Internet.

Both studios are expecting a permanent status from the authorities.

News from the field Media and Phone Use in Zambia Community Radio Feature: Radio Agnia FM-Cote d'Ivoire Radio Agnia FM is a three-year old radio station, located in Abengourou, Côte d'Ivoire, east of the capital, Abidjan. The General Council of Abengourou plays host to the radio station, providing it office space and funding. Radio Agnia FM's primary mission is to educate and train people for economic, social and cultural development.  The radio broadcasts 24 hours a day, and puts an average of six programmes on air per day. Approximately 5% of the programmes are in the local language, Agni. In addition to broadcasting entertainment segments, Radio Agnia FM also produces programming that covers rural issues and awareness campaigns. Radio Agnia FM also produces special feature programmes about the men and women who have positively influenced Abengourou District. The radio is one of the few stations available in the region other than ONUCI FM, the United Nations radio station. According to the Radio Agnia FM station manager, Jean Luc Konaté, the station's objective in the short-term is to reach the largest number of people possible, in the medium-term to be more professional and in the long-term, to be free and independent. Radio Agnia FM would like to improve its services by increasing its range of coverage, physical resources and personnel training, ultimately hoping to be autonomous of the support of the General Council, on which the station is currently dependent for all funding. Radio Agnia continues to address its original goals: serving as a tool to bring people together, fitting into the dynamics of national reconciliation and contributing to the consolidation of social peace.
