The ZONE: Editing and Making a Montage

Students in Radio Club at The ZONE wrote and recorded short pieces describing themselves. They then learned how to edit their own pieces and place them in a montage while also learning about multi-tracking. Finally, they placed their pieces over a beat and made decisions about how their voices should be mixed over a music bed. This montage is a result of the third of nine weekly sessions in which students will learn about the microphones, mixers and digital recorders used in producing features for radio.
