Back in the studio after a much-needed snow day!

Pumping out more station IDs!

Day 17 in a row of being at the college.

Thank god there's a holiday this Monday, which guarantees that I won't be here - since the college will be CLOSED!! 😅

Hung out at my sister's for the Superb Owl party. Her dog got tired by the third quarter and hung out with me. Such a cutie 🥹🥹

Woke up to about 10cm of snow!

Luckily it's pretty light and the plows have already gone down the streets.

The finished product!

A few edits here and there to make a clean sound - putting my voiceovers at the right spots and lowering the track volume while it's going.

Thanks to anyone who's watched this - let me know if you enjoyed it and whether you want any other behind-the-scenes looks!

Step 6: The final hook! I'll be having my final voiceover go over this track.

Next step: The finished product!

Step 5: Adding another hook! Pretty much a repeat of the last step. I realized later my voiceover between the hooks needed some music behind it (you'll see what I did soon)

Next step: Adding the final hook

Step 4: Placing the hook! There's a bit of an art to making things sound 'right'. The part I demonstrate here is relatively easy, but there can often be some subtle touches needed to make things 'flow'.

Next step: Adding another hook

Step 3: Song selection! We want to highlight the music in our IDs, so we usually try to get 3 different songs in there.

Next step: Finding the hook!

Step 2: Recording my voice! This is where it starts to get fun!

Coming up next: Starting the mixing process

Inspired by a classmate who recorded their own creative process, I've recorded a series of videos, demonstrating the creative process I use to produce Station IDs!

This is the first step - writing the ad! Hope you enjoy this behind-the-scenes journey!
