ABSTRACT
Radio performers spend a lot of time in the two main audio studios found in most radio stations — the on-air studio and the production studio. As the name implies, the on-air studio is the domain of the disk jockey (DJ) or announcer who is broadcasting ‘ ‘ live ’ ’ from that studio. Most of what is done in the on-air studio is simultaneously going out over the air. The production studio is often a similarly equipped room that is used to produce and record material that will eventually be used in the on-air studio, such as commercials or radio station promotional spots. Some stations may also have an announce booth, which is nothing more than a small room or studio that houses a microphone plus a table and chair or stool and counter set-up. The audio output from this booth is usually sent to another studio, such as the production studio; however, sometimes an audio recorder in the announce booth records the performance.
