HabboxLive Ideas

About the trial thing if we did maybe go through applications and pick out the best 10 (depending on how many staff we need at the time ofc) and those 10 maybe go onto a private radio so we can actually hear what they sound like on air and how they use sam etc.

Can't believe how many times this has been suggested - I think I must have suggested it about 50 times, never mind anyone else! In the past, the radio department management always used to say they don't have time blah blah blah - but I think it is important to actually hear a DJ before leaving them to DJ for TWO WEEKS. That could potentially be 10+ hours of utter rubbish

its always nice to hear someone on air before giving them a 2 week trial.

That's the system I used on ClubHabbo and if you have time I'd recommended you do this as it helps, sorts out any hardware issues and gives you an even better chance to see if the DJ are up to scratch ;p.

Have I convinced you to get a test radio and to hear people on thatbefore letting them go on the main one? As I said above, it is easy to use sound recorder, not so easy to use sam broadcaster.

Surely then, you take, lets say ten of the best applicants, and stick them on a trial server? No one wants to listen to a squeaky boy talk about how cool he was at school the other day. No offence meant, but it is TRUE. I think the reason people enjoyed listening back in the day, is because the DJ's were older than the listeners. I don't want to tune in to someone younger than me though, talking about a load of ******** while playing Barbie Girl.

I, surprisingly, think removing DJ would be a good idea! Instead of 'Head DJ' you would have 'Head Radio Staff'. I think 'Senior Radio Staff', sounds more mature than 'Senior DJ' - although it is longer. The Radio department could do with changes after all. I know that Habbo is partly responsible for the loss of listeners, but you won't get anywhere in life if you put the blame on someone else all the time.

I would like to agree on this point, that when starting out, tunning into a local radio gave me lots of ideas and things to work on and was a great way in improving. But we must remember, that we need to draw and fine line- this is all fine and dandy, but we are a Habbo based radio station and our target audience are not 40 year old women. There is a limit we can go to make it sound professional, however, sometimes it isn't about quantity, but about quality. Filling up a timetable with DJs isn't the way forward, it's slowly building a quality team, WHICH is VERY HARD because truly great DJs don't come along very often nowadays so we have to work from what we can get and by building up a team and working with them in forms of feedback PMs and what not, it could actually work out .

Completely agree, very good comments! +Rep to grig and +Rep to Milestone when I can give you it next

Hate to say it, but ClubHabbo got something right. Why would you even consider giving someone radio access before hearing them? Especially when you are such a big fansite. If you had 2 users, I would understand it. But 100 or so listeners? Just don't.

I agree completely, doing this will improve the quality of the DJing and the radio. If someone fails to get past the test radio stage then they will have something to aim for next time round.

Yes Mark you have convinced me its not a bad idea

Oh, and while we're at it could you stop DJs singing in between songs, like singing at the beginning then in the middle and then the end. They either sing a song, or they don't (I'd prefer this but yeah).

This does generally get really annoying i have been trying to send out more feedback pms recently, this is normally something i say in the feedback pm that they shouldnt be doing.
