Quite different from the analog days.

Hoo boy, and how!
Around 1995 or so I was with a small Atlanta rimshot station and they got in an Arrakis TrakStar, one of the first digital production programs out. I learned it quickly and soon began having a blast working with up to - I THINK - 4 channels of audio? Then learned the Ensoniq PARIS system and on from that to Cool Edit and Audition.
I don't recall if we had the VoxPro at 104.7 The Fish where I jocked, but whatever it was, it was similar to where you could slide your audio separate from the caller's so you were talking over them. Cool stuff.
Problem is, at my age, I don't think my mind, body or psyche could keep up with the kind of pace that gal is handling in the video! Dude, just give me a glass of Malbec and let me chill out with my dogs!

We had VoxPro at 'AAF in Boston. Super easy to learn and very quick for the jocks to use on air. It could be a bit cranky at times but…..overall, a very slick little editor.
Sure wish we had that back in my CHR days. Doing an all-request show with phone bits to intro virtually every record. With tape…that was a challenge at times.

Remarkable. I used to practice during the song about what I would do when it ended, but this takes it to a whole new level.
And she did it all with no headphones...
Certainly not like in the "old days."

About 8 years ago, I worked for a station that used VoxPro and I was reluctant to learn it because I was so comfortable with Adobe Audition. Finally dug in one day and learned the controller interface and NEVER went back to Audition for phone calls. VP was so much quicker.

I remember using this or something similar at WXLO 13-14 years ago. It was fantastic to work with and made doing contests and requests a blast. Of course, drinking a couple pots 'o coffee during an airshift helped as well!

How'd we ever get by with a reel-to-reel tape deck, a splicing block, razor blades and a grease pencil? Songs, jingles, and spots were all on tape cartridges. I left radio in 1980. Late 60's and 70's were a blast! In some ways I think there was more freedom and creativity. Radio was less formulaic. Definitely more independent and less corporate before deregulation. A company could only own an AM, FM and TV station in each market. Competition was fierce.

Yeah...and the stations were a reflection of the cities they served. For the most part, not any more.
I used reel to reel and the 360, but the Vox Pro was much better!

Although, philosophically I might agree with some of the the ideas behind the deregulation of Radio. The idea that the free market should be allowed to work.
The unexpected consequences and reality is that local Radio has been destroyed by it. I am thankful that my Radio days pre-dated that decision and I was able to be around in the days when Radio was still FUN.
