EDITING THE JINGLE

"BandLab" is the app used by Sera to produce the jingle.

The steps:

• Recording the radio show's name (All Star) and tag (comin' through your life) with her laptop and headset to improve the quality of the sound
• Adding after-effects to the tag to have effects of reverb and echo
• Applying 'sampler' for the jingle's rhythm and melody

In addition to that, her struggles faced were finding the correct sound in order to make the jingle an adequate sound to the audience. Another one was composing the melody and rhythm, finding the most desired rhythm for the opening, such as for the rhythm being energetic and upbeat to fit into our concept of being dynamic and lively. However, these struggles were overcome.

EDITING THE SHOW

"Audacity" is the editing app Ilona has used to compile and edit all our individual recordings. 

The steps:

• Putting the recording clips in order
• Cut out unnecessary bits, such as dead airs in our individual recordings
• Converting the songs from YouTube to WAV format
• Settle the songs in the order in Audacity based on our breakdown
• Insert fade-out transitions to make the audio smoother

Nonetheless, the struggles faced are converting the audio as Audacity, the app, requires it to be in FFmpeg form, but after hours of researching, it turns out a WAV format is supported. Secondly, splitting the audio took a while to get it all figured out, even so, it was easy once it has been found out.

"BandLab" is the app utilised by Sera to insert and edit the additional parts of the radio show (such as the weather forecast recording)

The steps:

• Retrieving and inputting the additional recordings from Google Drive to BandLab
• Finding the parts of the recording with uneven volume
• Resizing

Two struggles occurred to happen, that being the uneven volume must be resized, and knowing the placement of the back sound in and out.
