Editing the radio broadcast

Even though the recording of the interview went well and only a few things had to be swapped in and out, post production for the whole radio broadcast consisted of a lot of editing. First of all I had to make the changes to the interview such as editing a question to where the same question had been asked poorly before hand. After this I edited some introduction music which faded into the presenter introducing the interview. Then with the presenter recording I edited out a few 'umm's' and 'ahh's'. I then added Declan's mix which faded in at the end. After all this was done I went back to the edited interview recording and listened for the comparison in mine and Declan's voice which was quite significantly different. Also, I had realised that when listening through headphones, it was only heard through one ear. I found out that this was because whilst I was recording, I had Audition set to Stereo and so it was recorded as so. After googling the problem I managed to adjust the recording to the Mono setting, meaning it was heard clearly through both ears. The final bit of editing for this piece was to adjust mine and Declan's voices so that the interview would run clearly throughout the interview. To do this I grouped the recording to all the points where I was talking and all the parts where Declan was talking. After this I individually adjusted each recording using the single band compressor tool, making our voices the same volume and as similar to each other as possible.
