Program Demo MP3 Instructions for DJ Class Graduates

Program Demo mp3 File
In addition to the written Show Proposal click here for a copy, the programming committee will need to hear an example of your “on-air” abilities.  We understand that for most of you, this is a new skill that you are learning, but we need to evaluate how much you have learned from sitting in with current DJs and how much you are able to do independently.  It is our expectation that you may need several attempts in the production studio to get your demo “ready for prime time”.
Each demo should be 8 – 10 min long and created with Adobe Audition.  Your saved demo should be saved as your first and last name (one word) .mp3 (ex: johnsmith.mp3).  Put the saved file in the DJ Grad Demo folder located in the Host Folder on the Production room computer.
Please include the following elements in each demo.  Examples of most of these elements can be found and used in the Demo Elements folder on the desktop of the production studio computer.
