AUDIO EVALUATION:

Overall I am happy with each of my Audio productions. My favourite is the Show Promo as this took a lot more work to complete therefore was more of a challenge. I had a couple of problems with some of the songs i initially wanted to use as they were not in MP3 format and therefore the programme we were using did not recognise them. i ended up choosing different songs, which in my opinion, worked alot better than my first choice so it all worked out well in the end.
For the Show Promo I used 3 different songs of my choice to fit into the Oldskool category that i had chosen to base my radio show on. I used Adobe Soundbooth to mix the 3 songs together, using fades and cropping them to achieve the best sound. Once i had mixed the songs together and was happy with the sound i then used the microphone to record myself reading the script i created. I placed the Speech inbetween each song to break it up abit and made sure there was no silence in any part of the promo atall. It took me a long time to complete the Show Promo but this just made it feel like more of an achievement when it was complete. The only problem with my Show Promo is that the intro is abit too long, the song plays a long time before the speech comes in. I could try and shorten this but i think it would sound a bit too blunt starting the song halfway through.
For my News Jingle i chose a song intro which was long enough to use with my commentary before any singing came in. I made sure the beat was quite slow to give the serious tone of the News. I only used the one song for this and used the microphone to record my script. I placed the commentary over the background beat and made it short and straight to the point. I like this News Jingle as it is simple yet still lets the audience know everything they need.
For my Station Ident i chose a quite upbeat tune as the background music to give off the impression of a fun and entertaining station. I sampled a small piece of this music and put my commentary over the top of this. I like this also as it is short, sweet and straight to the point.
I spent alot of time on my audio work and made sure i completed each one to a good standard. Overall i'm rather proud at the outcome of my first ever attempt at audio production :)
