Your radio station has been streaming online for some time, but does it really sound so good that your listeners stick with it? Are you using the best codec available? What should you consider for hardware? Can you just feed your FM station processed audio to your stream encoder? 

Longtime audio processing guru Greg Ogonowski of the Modulation Index “StreamS” Audio Encoder will address these questions and more in an online Zoom meeting on Tuesday, March 17, at 11:30 AM PDT.

Register in advance for the Zoom Link (ignore the wrong meeting date on that site if it’s still there).

Many thanks to the SBE Chapter 47 in Los Angeles for organizing this meeting.

About Greg Ogonowski

(Stolen from MellowRock.com) Greg started his broadcast career at WWWW in Detroit in the early 70’s. By 1985, he was tasked with rebuilding the Heftel cluster in Los Angeles (we’re honestly not sure what that is, but it sounds impressive).  He went on to form his own audio processing company, Gregg Laboratories, that produced AM/FM processors that threatened the leading producer, Orban, so much that they hired him!  Greg would form the PC Products division at Orban and was the first to license the HE-AAC codec, then called aacPlus, for streaming.

At the end of 2014, Orban spun off the PC products division to Greg’s existing consulting company, Modulation Index, LLC. Greg developed a new streaming audio encoder using HLS and MPEG-DASH to reduce costs and improve reliability and quality. He would also be the first to license the new xHE-AAC codec and has already completed work on using HLS with xHE-AAC. Over the years, Greg has developed a reputation for improving both audio processing and audio streaming.
