TWiRT 193 - Quit Streaming MP3, with Greg Ogonowski

Processing and stream encoding guru, Greg Ogonowski, says “Stop using MP3 and encode with a modern codec. Save money and sound better, too.” So, what’s wrong with our beloved MP3? And what should Internet streamers be using? And what about the Opus codec?

TWiRT 191 - The Value of Engineering

Engineering repair and maintenance: Is it a “pay me now or pay me later” equation?  Or is there more to it than that?  Are more and more stations just ignoring ongoing, preventive maintenance in favor of just declaring an emergency when they go off-air, or sound really bad?  Chris Tarr has an opinion or two on that, and Chris Tobin does, too.

TWiRT 189 - Smoke in the Modem

Remember POTS line frequency extenders? Then in the 1990’s we did remotes with POTS codecs and ISDN codecs. Now IP is transporting remote audio back to the studio, and for more radio stations, live video is a key part of their digital strategy. Chris Crump with Comrex is bringing us up to date on video remotes and shows off the Comrex Liveshot.
