"Mike Rivers"

My biggest complaint with KBCS is the inconsistent level going into
the audio servers (or effectively that, regardless of the actual
chain). It's like the DJ turns the pot up to 8 for every CD and
doesn't bother to look (well, sometimes by the middle of the song) to
see that the meters are pinned, or are only going up half way. Perhaps
what they monitor in the control room is going through a leveler so
they don't notice, but what's going to the Internet is coming straight
off the console. Of course it's best for the operator to fix the
problem right at the source, but even an Aphex Compellor feeding the
web broadcast chain would make it a lot less annoying to listen to.

Mike,

I will be talking to KBCS's engineer in the near future and I'll mention it.
They do have all volunteer DJ's and it is difficult to get them to be
consistent.
