After i had succesfully created the jingle to my satisfaction, i began to add my audio clips, after adding these in the media hut i realised that it contained a lot of sound that i didn't want. So i reverted to recording my audio at home, still with no idea on who to interview.
I decided who to interview by a shuffle on iTunes, this was helpful as i could use an artist to interview, via using audio clips from a professional interview. This i felt was the easiest way to create the conversation. However to my displeasure my shuffle unluckily after enabling the all play option the artist was not who i was hoping for.
I then 'stole' my audio from video clips on iMovie this worked relatively well i think as it sounded relatively realistic as a radio program.
After selecting the appropriate clips for my use so that i could construct a relatively believable conversation I believed that i had good enough material to create a chart show.
With these new changes (artist being used) I modified the jingle slightly so to fit a chart show, even though now the music genres are mixed and blended in the extract of the radio show, it can be explained by the fact that it is in fact a chart show, and all kinds of genre make it into the charts so there is definitely variable genre and no fixed specific specie of music.
The creation of my jingle went as follows
Within garage band there are a selection of clips known as loops within the program as mentioned earlier, this allows the musician to select the tracks they wish and drag them into the timeline of the music.
These loops were from a selection of genres and instruments as above and provided a large selection of "Pieces" that varied in length and style. These would be the primary building blocks of the jingle.
Alternatively there were also software instruments where the creator could "play " an instrument using an online recorder system. These instrumental tracks could be further modified utilising the trim options where after a music recording was made the artist could control the pitch, note and length of a single piece played by the computer keyboard.
The choice of software instrumental tracks and real instrument tracks were tremendous, many modifications could be made here. The options here controlled for example the amp level, bass enhancement. Or if the track was a real instrument as below then the recording level could be further modified.
Also the reverberation could be modified of these instruments along with echo, allowing the modification to be done to a great extent so that almost every track is different. Therefore almost every jingle could be unique to the last. These modifications could aid the creator in tweaking the genre ever so slightly.
So i began to create my jingle using varied tracks largely in order to create as catchy and interesting an atmosphere as possible, i had a large range of genre to choose from and so could easily create a unique jingle. My jingle was created largely of a strong beat, accompanied by synth tracks with "funky" guitars and basses.
After i had created the basic outline of my jingle I proceeded with the project, I modified the sound levels of certain clips as they were "in the red" and became distorted, this was most commonly occurring with the electric guitars so I modified the sound level via a bar in the left hand corner. This helped me to blend the sound levels as to make it sound better.
Then as i began to add dialogue to the show, i reduced the sound levels of certain clips at points so that my presenters could be heard more easily. This was also another method of reducing sound volume at intermittent points
I then cut my sound clips at certain points to nullify the effects of clips that i didn't want or didn't need.
I then modified certain vocal files so to make them sound more like a radio show, such as "Chart 40 with John James" at the start during the jingle was modified using reverberation, vocal distortion and reduction of the sound level of the jingle.
After this I added "Nadine's" voice to the clips, which were still unnecessarily clunky which i attempted to nullify with sound clips. I added my taken sound file from a song and then created the file using the share option.
