Detour BLUES Broadcast Studios
Broadcasting Studio
We use only one computer (AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core Processor BE-2300 1.90GHz, RAM 5.00, HDD 250GB) for our music, advertising, playback programs, our station’s jingles and signatures, etc. Our computer uses SAM Broadcaster 4.2.2 software produced by the SpacialAudio Solutions, LLC Company. All the sound is in the MP3 format and currently with constant data flow of 64 kbit/s. A decision was made to reduce the bitrate of the station from 128 to 64kbits/s.The reason behind lowering the bitrate is to allow those at work, on cell phones, and other places where high speed internet is not readily available, the opportunity the listen to detour BLUES.
As far as our supplemental devices are concerned, we use CD players, MD players, cassette players, a record player, and a Roland VSR-880 digital multi-track recorder.

Great! Found you some months ago. Eversince you’re playing every evening in my house. Perfect programming, as if the playlist was selected exclusively for me….

I, too, just found your station and haven’t changed the station since. I don’t have a lot of time to explore, for lack of a better word so I’m hoping you can help me. How can I see who is currently playing? I’ve seen the “Now playing” area of you site, but the artist and song never seems to change.
Thanks for fabulous listening.

You lost me as a listener and a supporter when you went to the wide bandwidth. I live in Nome Alaska, and our internet provider just doesn’t have the capacity to provide that kind of service. too bad, I’m sure there are a lot of other small towns in the same situation. I really liked detour blues, thought it was the best of it’s kind, but now I can’t listen anymore.
