Fast Track Sports Music

Here's some pics of myself, Don, and my roommate Jordan Swartzentruber taken yesterday while we were making music for the sports segment to be played underneath Eric's highlights.

We recorded by taking Jordan's amp>Mixer>Mac>Garageband. All of the guitar parts ended up being performed by Jordan. I programmed the drums by sampling Nine Inch Nails songs and manipulating them. Don was massively helping in engineering.

WELCOME TO THE (BLOG) JUNGLE!

Hey, cyberweb! Welcome to the blog for Fast Track, Purdue University's student-produced weekly newsmagazine. What is FT? Let me explain!

Fast Track is a weekly newsmagazine produced by Communications and Film/Video students from Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN. We create all of the content in the show, run all of the cameras, audio and anchor all of the segments. We cover all sorts of stories, from hard news, to features, to weather and sports.

Here's our most recent show. When the people behind Fast Track aren't showing their blogging prowess over here, we can be found over at www.youtube.com/fasttrackpurdue. Subscribe to us! We're fantastic.




On this blog, we're hoping to not only increase our dominance of the internet, but give you, the reader, a backstage pass to Fast Track and what goes into making a TV show this week.

I'm Phil, the editor of the blog. To check out my other stuff, you can head over to...

My e-mail, if you ever need to reach me or anyone on the show is philwrighthouse@gmail.com.

MORE IMPORTANTLY...the Fast Track website is web.ics.purdue.edu/fasttrack. Check it out for more general information, old videos from our archives, information about all of the people who work on the show (who will, incidentally enough, be all of the bloggers on here) and more. There, or on the YouTube Channel, you can also check out Fast Track Te Informa, the Spanish-langauge version of Fast Track.

I hope that you enjoy all of the things we have planned for this blog and keep on the lookout for new content really really soon!
