Preparing Music Show

In tonight's lesson, I will run through how to produce a pre-recorded music show with Garageband or Audacity. I'd like everyone to select music and put such a show together by March 10th, if possible. As mentioned earlier in class, please try to use royalty-free music (Net Label for example).

I recommend netlabels.org as a good starting place to get an introduction to just how vast a selection of music that is avaiable out there. Phlow Magazine is an affiliated site that features some reviews of many netlabel offerings - this would be a good place to get information on the albums and artists.

Here is the sequence I recommend following for putting your show together:

1. Find music, research artist and label background to give you some stuff to say about the music you will play, decide on an order to play the songs, when you break to talk (stop set), what you will say whether about the music or other topics (3/3)
   
2. Produce your show using the audio software of your choice and export as an mp3 (3/5)
   
3. Broadcast file on UStream.tv (3/10 or 3/13)

Note: I have created an excel document that I'd like you to use to catalog the music as you find it. Please save the file with your name in the filename.
