This document summarizes a student's presentation on how they created a radio script about the band The Beatles. The student chose The Beatles as they are their favorite band. They wrote a script about the band using information from online sources. They recorded the script using a microphone and Tascam mixing desk. They edited the recording in Adobe Audition, adding music tracks from a Beatles CD and using effects like fades. The student reflects that they would make the script shorter and improve the fades if doing the project again.

script

needed

better quality than downloaded
music

more compressed than 5
a CD version

microphone and Tascam

• As I spoke into the microphone
it recorded into Tascam
• My teacher was able to hear me through his 6
headphones and made sure that I was speaking loud
enough into the microphone

into the computer
Catriona Corbett

• I then uploaded it to a music tracks I
software called Adobe needed into Adobe
Audition

where you can edit • I cut the tracks into the
parts of the song I 7
and mix audio
wanted to use

8. Editing the script
24/04/2012
• I then linked the recorded piece to the tracks
Catriona Corbett
• I Used the Fade-in effect as the song was
coming in to the script and used the fade-
out as I was beginning to talk again
• It was quite difficult to do at first but got easier
throughout the project

9. Critical Evaluation
24/04/2012
• If I was to make this radio piece again I
would try to make it a little shorter as it
Catriona Corbett
was a bit too long
• I would do the fade in and fade out
again as some of it did not sound great
• I would cut the audio correctly as you
can notice that there are some
mistakes
