UTPA BRONC RADIO/HOT SEXY STUFF by Kevin Stich

1. University of Texas-Pan American Bronc Radio Director Larissa Garza and Producer Adriana Trevino are in charge of the live Friday afternoon broadcast on utpa.edu/broncradiotv.

2. They make sure that the audio chain is set up correctly before each show, and during the shows monitor the "levels" (volume) of the channels to make sure they don't peak.

3. They use computers to record the audio, using programs such as Adobe Audition and Soundtrack.

4. Their classes have taught them to be able to manipulate the audio or add music to the takes, among other things.

5. They connect the wiring and make sure that the audio signal follows the right path to the broadcast.

6. They also learn how to operate the analog hardware including the mixer and the wiring. They learn about the knobs controlling treble, mids, and bass -- this is the basic idea behind "mixing."

7. They call the room where the actual recordings are done "The Champagne Room."

8. Daniel said I looked like I tasted good... I was freaked out.

9. The duo is equipped with knowledge that would enable them to start their own radio station.

10. Before there was computes, audio was recorded on tape. The two said they know nothing about tape...

11. Both of the broadcast majors admire foley artists (people that make sound effects for movies and TV).

12. They both strive to learn everything about Broadcast that they can. Adriana currently assists the Versus sports network with its TV broadcast, while Larissa hopes to improve on her show "Lary's Music Lounge."
