Editing A Radio Show

Editing A Radio Show

I had to create a jingle to appeal to my radio show. The jingle would remind the listeners who they were listening to. I downloaded all the sounds from http://cscmbp.blogspot.co.uk/ and there were sounds which suited older and younger audiences. I went through all the sounds and found the perfect sound of each of the two different jingles I had to create. (Student & Student shows). I included a sound clip which I edited in, which was a voice over saying the radio shows name or what they were listening to. This is called an ident (reminding the audience/listeners what and who they're listening to). I edited the jingle and radio show demos in Adobe Audition as you can see pictured to the left.






After recording all my speaking material in the studio (back announcements, segue introductions, news bulletins, idents, signposts and audience interaction) I loaded them all into Audition and edited out all the parts I didn't want to use. I used the Razor tool (pictured above) to cut and split parts of the audio I didn't want, this then let me delete or move any part I wanted too. When finishing editing all my audio, I added in the music I was going to use in my show. I made the introduction of the music fit over the speaking of the presenters to give it a professional aspect. As the presenter stopped talking I then adjusted the volume to the original sound so the singing began straight away and no extra music would drag out the show

I made sure no sound in the background interfered with the show and if it did, then I would use the yellow line in the middle of the audio to adjust it. This also helped me to fade the music in and out when the presenters were speaking then when the song finished and the presenters spoke again or a jingle was played, I faded out the music to give it a 'soft' ending. (adjusting sound pictured below)

After I edited everything and checked
through the whole show, I had to export
the Radio Show. This makes the whole
session into a MP3 file or a WAV. This
then lets you listen to the whole show
throughout. I saved the original session in
case I had to go back and edit anything.
