Production

This image above is of the tracks on the far left hand side, the mixer in the middle and the actual sound clips on the right. As you can see by looking at the picture each sound effect or instrument has different volumes to enable it to work at its best. Some instruments I have used as background music or a base track have low volume levels as they cant be too loud and they cant over power the voices.



In this image above you can see how I have faded out a certain Radio sound. This Radio sound was actually a Siren and I wanted it to slowly fade out as I wanted to give the impression of it getting further away into the distance.


This image above is of an Ambient Guitar sound clip. I had to cut it in half as I didnt want it to carry on over into the archive sound clip which wouldnt of mixed in with it very well. The Ambient Guitar I used was for a base track against the presenters voice and the volume level meant it wasnt overpowering but at the same time it wasnt too quiet.



The image above is of the whole layout of GarageBand. This shows the tracks and mixer on the left hand side and also the audio clips on the track. The screenshot was taken halfway through the project and shows the slam of the drum lid and then the ambient guitar afterwards as the presenter is speaking.

This image of an sound clip from a slam on a symbol on a drumkit. I used this sound clip to end my radio jingle before I introduced the radio station to the listeners. Using this sound clip was appropriate as it ended the Jingle nicely.


The image above is of the voice of the radio presenter. This has a volume bar underneath as It stops the voice from becoming too loud and therefore distorted which would put the whole project at risk of being unprofessional. The actual presenters voice was aimed at sounding like main actor from the film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. I carried forward this voice as I wanted to add some humour into the audio project to make it more interesting for my target audience.


This image shows how I had to adjust the sound levels of the sound clip as it was too loud towards the end and the sound clip actually became distorted. I had to do this on some other sound clips as I wanted the volume levels to be higher in some places and lower in others.


This image shows the beginning of the whole sound clip. I thought it was relevant to include this as it shows how I have used different archive clips and how the layering and volume levels had to be adjusted properly in order to give a smooth opening jingle to the audio project. Also in this clip you can see a variety of instruments and players that have aided in the project being up beat and well mixed together.
