Evaluation

Radio production evaluation.

This week we done radio production, I really enjoyed this week as radio and music is what I'm most interested in doing. I had used garage band before but this week I learnt how to use logic pro, which I had never used before, at first I found it confusing to use but the more jingles and idents we made the easier and more fun it became. The first thing we had to do to get used to the software was make a 5 seconds ident for SNC live, my favourite part of doing this task was to decent on what sound effects to use in the background, I struggled with editing the vocals but after a few attempts it became easier and I now feel more confident with editing voices for example, changing the pitch or bass.

After making a few idents, we were then given the task of making a 20 - 30 seconds long promo for are our own radio show. Unfortunately my computer wasn't letting me log in so I worked with Laura, which actually worked very well as we had similar idea's and balanced out the work. I really enjoyed making the promo, I loved deciding what music to use as the bed and making the jingles inbetween. Making the radio promo was my favourite part of the week, as the promo had to be 20 - 30 seconds it meant we had more to edit which I really enjoy. After we made our promo's we had a little play around making our own music, we tried two techniques, one was using the keyboard and making our own sounds and the other was using loops to make a sequence, I preferred using the loops as there was a huge variety of sounds, I love making music like this and really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to when we start the music production tasks.

This week has definitely been my favourite week so far, I would love to do this week again and can't wait to do radio production again. The only thing that would have made this week better is if I could have logged into my own account and made my own work, but this has been sorted now and i do feel Laura and I worked well together.
