LO3 - Task 4: Personal contribution to the Radio and Music Talk Show

What I have contributed towards the finished product:
I recorded my parts for the GTA section, with small additions to my partners script. I worked on my parts of the script as to accomodate a more flexible form of scripting between the two of us, being able to create a more conversational but professional sounding script. Along with my part of the script, I also recorded and edited a advertisement that is related to our Radio and Music Talk Show. The advertisements lasts aproximately 30 seconds. Finally, I wrote and recorded the LCS section of my talk show and this lasted for around 46 seconds.

Cubase - Learning Process

Cubase 7

Cubase works on lanes/tracks to play loop patterns:





A pattern can be created from scratch or one can use preset loops provided by the program. Current progression on the apparent sting we are going to make for our radio show sting. A small loop with a classical rock guitar and drum loop.

A loop pattern is put into seperate sections so that it is easy to interchange patterns. Each section is further seperated by layers and each of these layers can be set to have different priorities and effects. Volume can be changed seperately from each layer which can help in preventing one loop from overpowering another one.

The program comes with several preset loops which can be used to create a more intricate loop. It is not restricted to using just preset loops, as it allows you to make custom loops to help fit the music you are creating.

Furthermore, you are able to use music files that do not rely on on the loops. .mp3 and .flac files can be used for editing.

P1: Welcome back. So back on topic: GTA V. 

P2: It is now the year 2015 and Rockstar north have finally released GTA V for PC, the re-release for this version was made available for PC on the 14^th of April. The re-release changes little from the basic gameplay of the original version however, one of the more significant changes that have been made is that the online multiplier mode has now been increase from 16 to 30. The latest version of GTA V also includes a first person option, this seems great at first however after playing around with it a while you begin to notice that everything has become a lot harder. For example when driving you can only see what is in front of you, so you end up constantly crashing into things every time you want to turn. Although this is a setback, it also enhances other aspects of the game. An example of this is shooting, when you shooting up the place if feels like you’re playing call of duty I think that it is amazing that you can actually aim down your sights now.

P1: There's been a lot of concern about the game not running in its promised 60 frames per second. The reason? People's computers.

P2: One of the other things that I notice when playing this is that the PC version can support 60fps and it is also 4K resolution compatible, this is good news for anyone that has the equipment to support this that wants to really bring the game alive.

P1: As far as I know, the game has been optimised as much as possible but it needs some end-market spec hardware to run as smooth as possible. The new 'Director Mode' is a welcomed feature but with the game still being mostly the same apart from the improved graphics and online net code, there hasn't been much other additions which have left fans concerned. The fans may have been looking for some improvements.

P2: The PC version of GTA V has gone down very well with the public, metacritic had calculated an average score of 97 out of 100, IGN and VideoGamer.com had given the game 10/10. Many had stated that the main thing that they was impressed with the most was enhanced visuals.

So what else is there to wait for go and... did you think that was everything?

P1: We are back with some news on what's happening on the LCS this year and today, we will be focusing on the eSports side of things with League of Legends. TSM (Team Solo Mid) has won the North American LCS and are set for this years Summer split with the other teams chosen from NA. On our side of the world, Fnatic has taken the European LCS and are joining TSM in the 2nd playoffs.

P1: Looks like Fnatic might be representing Europe again and it seems like they are even stronger than their last years performance. Still, we can't rule out the fact that UOL (Unicorns of Love) was the dark horse with their performance against GMB (Gambit Gaming) and SK Gaming. Looks like things are going to get heated up this summer, especially with the teams that are playing.
