Change in Sound Quality

Now that I have completed my broadcast, I want others to get feedback on what they thought about it. I've played it to a few people in my class including the members of my group however I had noticed that it sounded different to how I created it.It was different whilst listening to it through headphones where as I have been playing it to others through speakers. The sound quality through the speakers is different then through headphones so it will not sound exactly the way I created it when it is played outloud.

The Putting together of my Radio Jingle on Adobe Audition

As I had recorded the parts I utmostly needed. I went on a computer and started a long process of choosing the Correct recording as some of them had many mistakes. I had chosen my recordings and started to compile and add them to the progam were I can cut certain bits out, pan the recordings as well as adding the right sound effects.

I had to add right sound effects so it is perfect for the time of day aswell as sharing the link with my intended audience. As I have mentioned in my Past Entries.

Through out the two months I had done many recordings with my group in which we edited differently afterwards.We had to write out the scripts to have as less mistakes as possible whilst in the recording studio even though we could cut out the little mistakes with Adobe Audition.

When I had recorded my my 5 minute radio jingle I had to construct it in such a way that it flows and sounds as professional as possible. I had visited a website were you could get free sound samples which I had used effectively as possible. I had used conventions of an radio broadcast such as Theme Tunes, Voxpop, a Serious Story as well as an Humorous story.

I had took so long to complete my radio jingle due to customising my Radio Jingle and tweaking it as much as I could from advice and criticisms from my peers. I had re- recorded certain parts of recordings due to it sounding unclear so it was near clear quality.

When I had deconstructed radio broadcasts I had picked out the conventions I wanted to use and I had picked up on how the tone and speed of it was and what stories were being broadcasted. I had added sounds in between stories so listeners can differentiate and so It flows quickly and efficiently.

When I had finished my editing I was satisfied I had realised that whilst listening to it wearing headphones the sound differentiated from how it sounded from my speakers so I left it as it will take alot of time on a tight schedule to redo alot of parts

Free Sound Effects

Below are listed the sites that I had used for free sound effects :

http://www.soundsnap.com
http://www.stonewashed.net/sfx.html
http://www.freeaudioclips.com/

These sites were used to make my 5 minute jingle sound more lively and the sounds used were picked especially to target my specified audience in the other previous posts.

How I added the Convention of Voxpops in My 5 minute Jingle

For My first story which was about a fatal stabbing in Neasden on a 182 bus. I had to other local residents idea's on the incident itself and how is it being delt with properly
With my group we had interviewed a couple of locals on Wembley High street where we recorded their opinions on what had happend and the rise of knife crime also. There was 2 views on this case one that seems to think Londons crime rate isn't alarming and the one's who think it should be dealt with properly. To record these people we had used a recorder which gave us an authentic sound of cars going past as well as the public stating there opinions.
