Create with experience

We have trained and experienced staff and lots of resources at your disposal, ensuring your voice is represented as best as it can be.

CREATE With Resources

Two fully equipped studios

Both of our studios offer up to date equipment in a sleek environment where the emphasis is on ease of use.

Both Studios:

  • Are fully equipped for pre-recording, as well as live broadcast

  • Have dual CD decks, and access to our mobile turntable units

  • Are capable of recording phone and streaming audio (via Skype/Zoom/Facebook Messenger etc.)

  • Have Aux cables to play audio via external devices

Portable and Versatile Equipment

We also have 2 portable studios for off site interviews, for those unable to travel, or for special occasions.

CREATE WITH SUPPORT

Every new content creator is taken through a brief but full induction where show planning, studio use and legal issues are addressed, with written resources to refer to moving forward.

The first few shows are closely monitored by a station staff member, and further training and advice is given where required.
We also offer regular training sessions open to all content creators, focusing on commonly requested features or practices.
If you have an idea for a training session, please let us know.

We’ll regularly give you feedback, suggestions for improvement and figures and stats to help inform you on the habits of your listeners.
