Custom

We can give DJs the mixtape files, if they want to archive them personally too. Just in this case we ask to credit PSR in the name / description

We aim to archive all shows that are made in PSR, because curators put in the work to host them. (Unless it’s an extraordinary situation and things are really broken / offensive things are said)

We do not tolerate unethical / offensive talk / behaviour in the shows. Whatever does not coincide with PSR Values, is not welcome here. If something offensive is said during the show, it must be cut out or can’t be archived. Curators are responsible to react if something like this happens.

Inform showmakers about old, slow USBs - that it can freeze in our controller, etc. Also, having a second one is always a good practise.

Curator’s checklist:

Create the event in Google Calendar

⁠

How to book Google Calendar⁠

⁠

Do it ASAP, because empty slots can get booked fast

Create a block in Libre Time When editing existing blocks, click “Edit Instance” or “Delete Instance”, but not “Edit Show” / “Delete Show”. “Instance” means a particular block of that day, and not all of it repetitions in the future

Write down the name of your block in ALL CAPS

Add the description

Upload the artwork (up to 1Mb in size). Can be GIFs too

Save the block by clicking (Save / Create). After saving, check if the artwork is displayed in the web - sometimes it fails to upload

Add a jingle + ambience in the background. (E.g. schedule the playlist “Going Live”)

Receive all the info from the showmaker at least 1 day before the show

Artwork

Name of the DJ / show-maker

Show description in English

During the day of the show, announce it on social media Instagram: at least 3 hours before

Discord - optional

Facebook - optional

ℹ️ Tag the artists in posts

Host the show - Meet the showmaker at least 20 minutes before the show. - Check if the BUTT levels are OK. Aim for a signal at 0 db. (up to +1 db maximum) - Check if there is no premiere happening after your show and make sure it does not override.

Edit the recording

How to edit mixes⁠

Archive the recording We aim to archive shows no later than 2 weeks after they happen

Give feedback to the showmaker

Feedback is one of the main reasons why people are doing things at PSR. Sharing is caring!

Present the showmaker with stickers!
