The flexibility in naming means that we can be well organised - which is crucial to ensure that everyone gets the right audio, and that we can quickly identify the best clips amongst hundreds for inclusion as highlights. "Clips are topped and tailed, named and have comments attached on the fly.

"The booths are supervised and the audio recorded centrally, and this is where the LRX has given us a huge advantage in terms of the number of interviews we can process in one day," Dymock says. The way this is usually accomplished is by setting up a series of between 8 and 16 recording 'booths', each kitted out with mics and simple mixing desks, installing the talent in the booths and shuffling the radio DJs past them in sequence. We usually have just one day to record, edit and drop individualised USB sticks to every DJ's hotel room," explains Dymock.Īll this entails recording several hundred interviews in a very short time frame. "Our job is then to ensure that each radio station - and there can be up to 50 - goes home with a one-on-one interview with every member of the cast - plus a package of edited highlights.
