Now, on to music. Any music that using a programme must be reported even if it's in the background or if it's just one second of music. There are no exceptions. It's a legal requirement to report all music accurately and that includes knowing which CD track has been played from.
Proteus records three levels of information about music. The work is the piece of music in this case, the song I Heard it Through the Grapevine. Performance is all the different performances there might have been of this work, in this case, Marvin Gaye's studio version, Gladys Knight's version, Marvin Gaye Live at Glastonbury and an acoustic session. Then a third tier here records the asset or CD that the piece of music might appear on. So in this case, Marvin Gaye studio version appears on Marvin Gaye Greatest Hits and also Now That's What I Call Music.
When you're entering details about any music you've used in a programme, you need to be sure to include information at all three of these levels. Back to my running order. I've used three pieces of music in my programme. The first is in my interview with the nutritionist, Caroline Keegan. I've used two clips of the track Red, Red Wine by UB40.
So, first of all to put in music, I'm going to click on the contemporary music search tab. This allows me to search Proteus's database of songs and hopefully find what I'm looking for and then drag it into my running order. So I'll give myself a little bit more room by just expanding the window on the right hand side. And this shows the contemporary music search more completely. I'm going to put the title and the artist and the song into my search box. The bottom scroll bar lets me move along and see which album this song is on and I want to find Labour of Love and here it is. This is the track I want to use. I can now click on the disk icon and drag it straight over into my Red Wine Diet piece.
If I'd wanted to collect all my music together first, I could have ticked the box next to this track and clicked add to basket, but I'm just going to put that one straight in. Remember to make sure the red line, sits within your content items and the music goes into the right place within your running order. And then all you need to do is change the duration on the right hand side to the exact duration of the clip that you used.
In this interview, I used the music clip twice, once for fifteen seconds and the second time for thirteen seconds, but there's no need to go back to the right hand search here to drag the music in a second time. What I can do is just drag the icon within the running order and drag it down and it will create a duplication of the track like that. So I just put the second duration thirteen seconds in and that's it.
