@StevenSaul @_philedmonds_ @974RockFM Final Part . True story. I’d grown up digitally editing so Paul Jordan on my first weekend had to teach me how to edit on reel . This felt old skool and I remember going home thinking I was never gonna be able to do this . I honestly nearly quit first day .

@StevenSaul @_philedmonds_ @974RockFM Part 4 : … kit for this type of idea - so my Atari saved the day ( I could sample only 15 seconds at time given its memory !) Hope you’re not bored now but yes tape edits caused problems and stability along with the setup . Btw not their fault just was a new concept at time

@StevenSaul @_philedmonds_ @974RockFM Part 3 : the amount of edits I had to do on the reel obviously was a lot then if I was having to reuse tape from elsewhere that often had edits also on it .

@StevenSaul @_philedmonds_ @974RockFM Part 2 : .. sample on it . Rock had no Daw/dalet etc and no vari speed cds or decks so I would have to use a second reel to reel to bounce a track or use that to mix along with my Atari . I’d use a Dat to record a chunk of the bit I was mixing then bounce back reel to reel . ….

@StevenSaul @_philedmonds_ Part 1 . Hey. So .. here’s some detail to clear up any theory . I was still at college and would go to Rock on the weekend and make the hour . A reel would be left for me . Sometimes fresh other times i would have to reuse one given cost . I would bring my Atari St as I could

@BenAtkinsRadio @markgoodier A pal Jean -Michel Meschin made work parts that we could use along with our bits . The show was a 3 hr long production piece full of sound design , song edits and packages . We’d create imaging / mixes / promo skits etc as we built it on the wknd of broadcast - Show wasn’t live.

Growing up in the NWest everyone listened to Stu Allan on Key103. The thumping soundtrack to your mates car, the beat of the school common room and his mixtapes/radio show CDRs you’d swap with pals. He did mixes for me on Kiss in the early 2000s & was the nicest guy. RIP Stu

@seanvoice Thanks :) I loved working closely on this with the talented producers I had over the years . So important to have a good brand look and sound that has clarity and a solid identity .

It is so sad hearing we have lost @duncanwallace_ Having the honour to work with him at KISS is something I will never forget . A much loved bright fun super-talented energy of a guy who you could always trust . My thoughts are with his family and friends . Rest in peace Duncs x
