For a season or two now, I have noticed that a great deal of you seem to have the desirous mind to download vamps, tags, etc.

But what is it, that which you do with them?


LOL - a question that has gone through my mind many-a-time! Smile

I use the ones I have for various audio projects at home & college. Also I remix them and make them sound a bit better than they do on TV.

The new BBC World vamps are very easy to recreate on keyboards and synths, so thats why I've been trying to download them and copy them.

I think the rest of the forum uses them and actually pretends to be a newsreader while they probably have print-outs from BBC NEWS Online, and then shuffle the papers at the end like a proper newsreader! Wink

I'd never be that sad(!) Laughing Laughing


I pretend to be Stephen Cole!, just kidding! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

A vamp is also known as a bed. For some reason, N24's headline music is known as a bed, but BBC World News's are known as vamps.

A vamp is basically the continuous music used "underneath" any headlines being read out. The titles/ident is the music after the vamp. A sting is a shorter piece of the titles. A sting can either be in the middle of a programme, i.e. BBC World Sport News Sting, or can be "opt-out" or "opt-in". A tag is a very short piece of music, which ends a vamp/bed. News 24 use their tag at *.15, to "finish" the bed.

Hope this clears it up Katherine!


The news 24 tog doesn't go with the min sting graphic they have on it. Plus they need a new one. The boom bum boom is so dull, especially compared to jiggajigaadumboomboom from world.
