Once photographers or camera operators return with their visuals the newsroom can become a frantic place, as items are put together and the stories are completed before deadline. With electronic media, raw visual footage or audio ends up in the editing suite, where it is reviewed and the most relevant or newsworthy grabs are used to put together the story.

Any overdubbing or re-recording also occurs at this stage. For print media, photographs are loaded into a computer and saved. At this stage any other graphic information needed is completed or almost completed and ready for use. Meanwhile, the journalist spends time finishing their story before it is saved and sent to sub-editors. At this time, particularly in larger newsrooms, editors, producers and chiefs-of-staff often meet again to review the story list and see if there are any new stories to include or others to discard and re-order them in priority for presentation in the newspaper or bulletin.

When stories or news items are completed, they are usually checked to ensure they are factually correct, make sense and adhere to any legal requirements. Copy or check sub-editors copy subs or check subs will go through stories, particularly in newspapers, and often make changes to improve readability and ensure they are not libellous. Stories receive headings and photo captions are checked. Lay-out sub-editors then draw the story, photograph and graphic elements together and lay them out through a computer on the page.

In visual or broadcast media, production staff are responsible for ensuring tapes for completed stories are ready to be played in the right order as the bulletin progresses. Competition for space or air-time can be fierce, with stories often missing the cut, or being cut-down, due to space or time restrictions. Even at this late stage things can change if a big news story occurs. Some stories might be cut back or even left out of the newspaper or news bulletin to accommodate any "late breaking news".

Those stories may then appear in a truncated form, or could be cut completely and never appear at all. First Name:. You must have a solid understanding of how it all fits together to form a single working system.

In recording circles, the concept is known as signal flow , which simply means:. And once you understand that , you still need to know which cables to use to make all those connections. Now that everything is set up and looking good…. As you will discover in that post, the ideal spot for your monitors requires very precise positioning, which you may or may not be able to achieve by placing them on your desk.

So one last item to consider is a pair of studio monitor stands. With a fully adjustable height , angle , and width , they make it possible to position your monitors literally anywhere. While most beginners underestimate the importance of this step, the truth is… A well-designed room can be the difference between smooth sailing and major headaches down the road.

If you only have one option…then just use that. Particularly, these 4 : 1. Small Spaces The general rule of thumb is: the bigger the room, the better. While beginners might prefer the privacy and coziness of smaller rooms, my advice is… Be smart…and choose the bigger one. Noise In everyday life, you forget how much noise is actually around you. All these things are common sources of noise that can easily ruin your recordings: Cars neighbors plumbing birds crickets wind rain So pay close attention to which rooms are the worst noise offenders, and choose the quietest one with the fewest neighbors.

Ideally, you want a perfectly silence space where: you can make as much noise as you want. But since very few rooms are like that… Some degree of soundproofing may be required in order to create a useable workspace for yourself. Poor Flooring For your recording room, hard flooring such as concrete , tile , or hardwood is ideal. Carpeted rooms often cause problems for two reasons : studios get a lot of foot traffic, and carpet wears out quickly.

Up next… 4. Got it? Clear off all floor space Take everything off the walls Remove anything that vibrates If the room also doubles as bedroom, living room, etc…you may not be able to clear it out completely, but anything that CAN be removed, SHOULD be removed.
