This invention relates generally to audio studio systems and
particularly to systems utilized in the creation, processing and
communicating of audio program materials for use in radio broadcasting.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The basic operation of commercial radio broadcast stations is well known and well established in the art. In essence, broadcast stations function to create, purchase or otherwise acquire program material, often referred to as "content" or "content material" and to broadcast such program material. The broadcast station's goal is to provide program material which is of interest to radio listeners in order to motivate radio listeners toward selection of the station's programming. The overall motivation of creating or obtaining interesting and desirable program materials is rooted in the broadcast station's desire to sell advertising time in connection with such programs to various product or service advertisers.
In many instances, a number of radio stations are associated and/or combined in their operations through various groupings such as affiliations, common ownerships, network memberships or similar combinations. One of the advantages of such combinations or groupings, is found in the availability of shared program materials between related stations.
In response to the critical need for high quality program materials and program content, practitioner's in the radio art have created radio networks and studios which function as content providers rather than, as traditional, radio broadcasters. Such content providers are in the business of creating, marketing and supplying program content to radio broadcasters.
Production studios operated by such content providers often utilize relatively basic audio studio systems to produce program materials. The content providers then package the content material, format the material and transfer it to one or more radio broadcasters. One of the serious limitations facing production studio operators is found in the lack of efficient audio production, audio processing and communication systems. of necessity, program material provided for radio broadcast must be extremely clear and high in quality to meet consumer demands.
