Room Layout

The radio station would normally have 2 rooms. The first room ( The Main Room or The Mixing Room) would be normally used by the radio presenters or DJs in which they would talk into microphones and their speech would be transmitted onto hundreds of radios in the country. The second room, otherwise known as the Recording room, would most of the time be used by many musical artists as they would record their music or their songs. If they mess up, they could do it again to save any faults being transmitted to the audiences across the country. When they are happy with their track, they would save that track and use it for audiences to listen to.
