Deeper Into Music

Recommended Posts

Salutations from Carrboro, North Carolina USA (mid-Atlantic east coast).

 

My name's Keith and I've been a DJ in commercial and public radio since 1980, working in Top 40, Hot Country, AOR, News/Talk and classical and college-radio formats.

 

I set up Deeper Into Music originally as "That 60s and 70s Station" in 1999. It "grew" into Deeper Into Music in 2001, first at Live365, but now through Loudcity. The station is built around my memories of great FM freeform rock/pop-based radio of the late 60s and early 70s, but expanding that concept to include select music of today, the 90s and 80s.

 

I run Deeper via a hosted website that integrates with my home-hosted mySQL and SAM configuration. I've been using Spacial Audio's SAM since it was in its first beta. I'm currently running 4.3.7 on a XP machine w/ a single 2.1GHz processor and 1G of memory. No sound card. I use about 9 total DSP/VSTs including Waves MaxxBass and several items from Voxengo and others. I spend way too much time tweaking the sound so that I can get a balanced sound on a Mama & Papas oldie mixed with a dense modern Spoon track.

 

DIM welcomes "requests" and has a rating system that influences the playlist rotation.

 

My website is heavily adapted from a template that I purchased a few years ago. It's sorely in need of a face lift, and I'll get around to that some day...

 

I still have a turntable and over 1000 LPs on my shelves and I spin them from time to time. Some of the tracks show on on "Vintage Deep Cuts", a wacky 60s/70s show I feature on the weekends (Fri 10P-Sat 10A, ET, US).

 

I've been using blogs and facebooks to reach a wider audience to some success. DIM is also a default on iTunes. DIM hits about 120 concurrent listeners at peaks (work day, US) and anywhere from 25-75 at off-peak times.

 

Some of my ripped mp3s are quite old and I'm in the process of converting my entire library of 6600 tunes to 320 kBs. I find that even at 128 streaming, 320 is a minimum requirement for the best sound possible.

 

Nice to meet you. I don't bite.
