1 Minute Radio Ad - Health Warning - The Drug 'S'
Summary
This audio file demonstrates a potential usage for Audacity or Adobe Audition, from the Creative Suite 5.5. It was created using 4 audio files that were multi-tracked and mixed together to produce a short radio style advertisement. The style was influenced by various government warning campaigns including tobacco and illicit drugs. The satirical style was inspired by the constant bombardment of health warnings and the resulting general confusion about what is or is not "good for you".
The purpose of the project was to explore and become familiar with the software programs and what can be accomplished using simple sound effects. Also, in exploring these abilities, other digital design work such as eLearning becomes more flexible in the inclusion of quality audio.
