Classical Edit
Scenario: You are working as part of a team for a classical music FM radio station. There is a forth coming broadcast which is entitled "Classical Music - The Popular Classics". You have been asked to produce an advertisment that will be played in the lead up to the broadcast to entice more listeners to tune in.
The advert must conform to the following:
1. Must only use the music provided.
2. Must contain a voice over. (this is up to you to make exciting)
3. Finished format must be broadcast suitable 128K mp3 in stereo with mono compatibility
4. Duration bang on 29 secs and no shorter or longer.
5. Uploaded by Friday to your folder, as a ZIP file, in the correct week.
The object of this practical is to:
· Familiarise yourself with the operation of your dedicated digital audio editor
· Learn how to record and edit classical samples
· Learn how to combine voice with music
· Understand how to work within a rigid niche and target audience
· Be able to convert to differing formats such as mp3
Equipment:
Headphones
Wav file – classicaledit.zip
Your PC and software
Microphone
Coffee
Procedure:
· Download the sample
(
CLICK HERE
)
and unzip it (it’s large so may take a while)
· Open the sample in a digital audio editor
· Decide which segments to use and copy them into separate files, saving each one with a useful name.
· Start to edit together your pieces to create 29 seconds
· Record your voice section
· Name, trim clean up as necessary
· Apply any finishing touches as necessary, such as e.q. etc.
· Convert to 128k mp3
· Upload for your tutors to check
Hints:
Listen to some FM classical radio stations for a day or so to get the idea of the feel of what is required. Think about using parts of the tune which would seem "popular", or "well known".

| Peer Assessment. |
|
|
Hi all, I've just checked out the classical edits and I must say I'm impressed, a very well done!
Now what I want us to do is to continue the theme with some peer assessment, I want you all to listen to each others and make some comments, ask questions and each others processes as a way of understanding some of the techniques used.
Post your thoughts in here please.

Hi everyone, just listened to all the edits, sound good!
Andy, you've managed to record/process your voice the way I wanted mine to sound. (I didn't get it as good as yours). You've managed to get a good, clean, deep sound. What mic did you use? How did you record it? and what effects/process did you add to your voice to get this sound? Also I like the way you fade in and out, especially the short clip just before the end section, works well!
Sounds good.
