Lose English translation...."Those were the days when radio began. There were no computers and all the music and spots were in cartridges and were recorded on reels...."

Why dub from CD to cart?

"It's simply the best sound quality possible"

[MrDBCooperstein]

Back in 1990 there were very few CD singles so by dubbing each song to cart you would eliminate mistakes (playing the wrong song of the CD) plus there was very little quality difference as long as you got a clean dub and kept your machines clean...

[nakayle]

This is really antiquated. Most stations today use digital audio servers- not cart machines- and computerized logs- not paper logs. And there's not many DJs around after drive time either- automation.

OMG... You guys brought me back many memories. I first started as radio moderador in the 90' and I used to work with those staff: cartridges, revox recorders, vinyl... How times goes so fast!

What are those carts? Are those analog or digital?

[judenihal]

Its hard to believe that 20 years ago was 1991 (i was still living) when it feels like saying 20 years ago is like the 80's.

OMG! My dream is to be a Radio Talent! I have a Degree in Radio and I scored a part-time entry level promotions job at a radio station. Any tips how I can gain more experience or what I need to do to achieve my dream of being an on-air radio personality?

wow, all the stations now are all on pcs, no cd are carts to deal with

[replacementshiw]

I bet somewhere there is a huge mountain of carts about the size of the empire state building topped off with Bulking machines

@MrDBCooperstein This was a great time in radio. Anytime before 1996 was pretty good. The guy at the beginning of the video did a lot COUNTRY radio station tv ads. I worked at WZZK for most of the 90s and he did ours for a long time. WHKO is a COX radio owned station. All of the Cox country stations and former New City country stations sounded a like. LOTS of music. Limited DJ chatter. Rusty Walked consulted most of them too!
