Next door is the on air studio. When you listen to Trax FM in Doncaster, this is where it all happens. Everything on air comes from here! The desk has lots of faders, which have a different source on each. Generally there's a presenter microphone, guest microphone, two faders for songs, a fader for the news studio, commercials, a couple of telephone faders, a MD fader and two CD faders. Yes! CD's can be played if the computer system crashes, which can happen sometimes. The presenter drives this console during their stint, skilfully blending one source to the next, sometimes running two to three items at once, making it all sound as seamless as possible to the listener. Some visitors believed the presenter would be sat at the other side of the desk, while someone else operated the technology for them, but that's not the case here, the BBC and some national stations do have that luxury though.
