Daniel Thompson created a music production reflecting his process. He began by collecting music from YouTube and organizing it in his editing software. He added sound effects but removed one that did not sound as intended. For the talking aspects, he turned down music to play quietly under his voice. He downloaded additional sound effects for introductions and varied them using editing tools. Finally, he recorded his script based on strange news stories and added the full mix to his project, blending elements using various audio editing tools.

2. Process
I began be creating the
music aspect of the 'show'. I
collected music from
youtube and downloaded
them to place into audition.
i also downloaded a static
sound effect from youtube
to use in the transitions
between songs which was
later taken out because it
didn't sound quite as i
hoped it would have. The
music was then put into
order and the songs were
blended using cutting tools
and fading tools.

3. Process
For the talking aspect of the show, I needed backing tracks while i talked so it wouldn't
sound really dull. I got a song that I had downloaded earlier and turned the decibels down
so that my voice was able to be heard over it. I also downloaded various sound effects
from shows on the internet for the introduction to my news segment. On these sound files,
i used the loop tool and also changed the pitch on them to make them vary a little. This
gave the show a very news-like feel.

4. Process
I then began to create a script for my
news section. For this, i went to the
bizzare section of the metro news
website and picked a couple of random
stories that sounded weird. From here, i
was able to map out what i would say
both leading up to the news and after. I
was also able to decide when certain
aspects of the show would
happen/begin such as the music mix and
the stories themselves.

5. Process
I finally recorded all of the news section and the presenting needed for the show and
added them to the news section and correct places. i then added the whole mix file to
the session and blended it in to the end of the news section using many of the tools
such as looping, fading, cutting and pitch changing (all of which can be heard in the
final product).
