List of tools used in software

-
I have created a list of all the tools which I have used in the software, in order to create the various effects in my bulletin. 
Music
Taken from Wentworth’s music library CD
Chorus effect (delay effect)
Sound was filtered and Equalized (EQ) at the end, taking out parts of the sound apart from the middle frequencies
I did this because its what they do on normal radio station jingles
Music library files means they are designed to last a specific amount of time, which is why its good and works well for radio jingles

Adobe audition enables the user to delete mistakes, cut out breathing sounds.
This was important as I did my recordings in a classroom, which is not soundproof. Therefor people had to go up very close to the MIC. I can also choose what take to use if I want different approaches

Highlighting and deleting can take out mistakes, put in gaps, rhythm in performance
Use tricks to make it sound more professional
More of a gap in between some of the sentences I was saying, so it was more spread out
Effect is a chorus effect, put over the jingle, a repeat after the original sound

There are certain voices where I wouldn’t expect for them to sound scripted, such as members of the public
Vox pop 3 stuttered on one of his words; made it sound more realistic
Makes it sound authentic

I felt that Libby’s voice was better suited to the student vox pop, over being recorded for Susan Nelson, who is an older local resident, as she has a younger sounding voice

I put a breath in the 2nd vox pop, to make it sound more genuine

I got music from the college’s sound effects library, and I got the music from the college’s music effects library

I altered the part of Jorja Smith’s song with fades out

Edit the end
Break everything down and then do all voxpops
Do anything that needs sound
Break down into chunks of the story

When editing the end part of the show, I want Alex’s voice cut into the mix
I have controlled the volume of where the song goes up and down

Compression
I want everything consistently loud
Compression makes the volume more uniform
By making everything uniformly loud, it sounds like everything has been recorded as loud as it can be
All radio will sound compressed

Cut it down to whatever it needs to be
Alex and background sounds to Jaime and background sounds
Need to make it sound like recorded by a correspondant
Because it’s a portable mic (correspondant)
Need to differentiate between c and studio

Convert overall sound to mono
Equalised the sound, by taking out some bass and treble, so the quality matched the difference in quality you’d get between a studio mic and correspondant mic.

I also did this for:

Story 1
Story 2 – Susan nelson
Story 3 - Vox pops
Peter Rhodes

News presenter:
I asked him to do it one way, but decided it was too loud and shouty. Although this would have been appropriate for sports reports, I feel as though a more relaxed manner is better suited for local news.

Different types of jingles

-
After listening to a variety of different radio stations, I have concluded that there a number of different kinds of jingles on each station.  The site below includes many of the different types of jingles. I have used this as part of my research.  http://www.music4.com/radiojingles 1) Weather Jingles  -The tone of weather jingles are usually a lot softer than other jingles -They sometimes include sound effects (e.g. of the weather) -Weather jingles for weather reports are usually played in the morning, so listeners have an outlook for the rest of their day  -Weather jingles will include the name of their station, and often have the word 'weather' at the end  -Companies usually sponsor weather jingles 2) Travel and traffic Jingles  -Travel and traffic jingles include the name of the station, with the word travel or traffic at the end -These jingles do not always have music playing, sometimes they will have sounds of traffic in at the end -Th...

Dissimilar radio websites

After having looked at two radio websites which are similar to my radio station, I am now going to look at two radio websites which are dissimilar to my radio station. These two websites are going to be Magic and Talk Sport.  Magic radio website Magic's website has clearly been directed towards an older audience. Despite the colour scheme still being bright and appealing for younger people, and both genders, the presenter is older than the presenters on the other radio stations. This suggests that an older audience will tune into Magic as may feel as though what is being played is directed towards them more.  Unlike Radio 1 and Magic, these artists, such as Billy Jones, are more suited to an older audience as they are not as contemporary.  This image on their website references the 80's, which is a time period directed toward an older audience.  https://talksport.com/ Sports stations are usually targeted at male audiences; all...

Representation in News presenters

Throughout this post I am going to explore the ways in which News presenters come across to the audience whilst presenting the radio show. For instance, I will be taking note of voices used, language, 'banter', tone of voice and interactions with other presenters. In order to do this, I will be looking at two completely opposite types of radio stations; Kiss  and Magic. By doing this will help me to create the scripting for my own news bulletin.  The first radio show I am going to be looking at is Kiss. There were two presenters on this show, a young male and female. They both spoke in an informal manner, with a slow relaxed voice as well as having 'banter' with each other. An example of this is when they both started singing the lyrics to a Rihanna song, whilst laughing about it.  The second radio show news bulletin which I listened too was from Magic. The presenter on this show was an Older woman. Unlike the presenters on Capital, she spoke in a much more cl...
