LO5: Contingency plan

Contingency Plan

Our back up plans for Get Your Funk On are...

Equipment
  • Radio Microphone would be replaced with a Stereo handheld mic with a lapel mic plugged into it.
  • Spit guards would not be used and we will stand further back
  • Stereo headphones would be replaced with normal headphones
Presenters 
We currently have 3 presenters but if one of the presenters were unavailable we would have to edit the script and make it suitable for only 2 presenters.

Broadcasting Time
If for some reason our broadcasting time is unavailable (currently 9pm-10pm on Fridays) we would have to edit the script to ensure that it covers watershed times and does not offend or discriminate a younger audience.  

LO5: Budget and Equipment.

Radio Mic's x 3: £117 http://lighthouseaudiovisual.co.uk/w-audio-rm-01-radio-microphone-system-109911-p.asp

We need these for each presenter so we are heard when recording, we need decent quality ones too so the sound is clear.

Spit Guards x3: £33 http://www.pmtonline.co.uk/shure-grill-for-pg58-microphone.html?gclid=Cj0KEQiAsdCnBRC86PeFkuDJt_MBEiQAUXJfLTeXLk5Wx6quXxV1mdCK127i2ltsB7vVGXrnJxYElKQaAjhN8P8HAQ

Spit guards are used to protect or microphones and to decrease crackling and muffled noises, this will make a huge difference and the quality of sound will be a lot better.

Headphones x 3: £172.5 http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/recording/monitoring/19924-audio-technica-ath-m30-closed-back-dynamic-stereo-monitor-headphones/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=base

Headphones will be used so we can hear what we are playing and how it sounds all together, we can also listen to it back and hear how it sounds from someone else's perspective.

PRS license: £300 for a year
We need the PRS license so we can legally play music that we do not own, this will stop any commotion.

Cubase PRO 8: £448 http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/computer-music/software/106549-steinberg-cubase-pro-8-daw-software/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=base&gclid=Cj0KEQiAsdCnBRC86PeFkuDJt_MBEiQAUXJfLVF6N1ckN1cJ9juChC2XmsZsGxgZ4Mlv44jSe4QcnWQaAjN88P8HAQ

we need cubase to produce, arrange and record for the radio show.
