Sick 80’s Beat
by @Maeve_ds106 February 14, 2020For my first Audio Bank assignment I completed an assignment called, Sick Beat. This assignment asks the creator to make a beat using sounds they found for free, public use online. For this assignment I used freesound.org for all the sounds you hear, and used the Garage Band audio software to put everything together. To […] -

Radio Show Brainstorming
I like the idea of taking something that happened in history and chaning the outcome like Moon Graffiti did. We could focus on events from the 80s. For example, what if personal computers never became a thing? What if they Wall never came down? What if... -
Week 5 Down
This week was a STRUGGLE. At first even just looking at the assignments for this week gave me anxiety. I have never been good using software and I was so paranoid I’d never finish all of the work. I started off with the daily creates since I had already known how to do those. These … -
Moon Graffiti
I truly enjoyed Moon Graffiti, and had a great sense of relief knowing it it’s fiction. The sound effects in the story did a good job to paint a scene for us to imagine a trip to the moon, the crash, the atmosphere, and most importantly the chara... -
A Bumpy Bumper
For this assignment, it took me a bit longer than I was expecting as I ran into some trouble regarding the import of my voice […] -

Jazzing Up a Quote
For my last assignment I decided to choose one called “Quote With A New Feeling”. For this assignment we were challenged to take a quote and pair it with a song in the background. I wanted to make this 80’s theme to fit our class. I chose the quote “To me, obligation is not love. … -
These are a few of my favorite things (sounds)
For another one of my picks out of the assignment bank I chose to do “A collection of your favorite sounds”. This one was super fun! I thought of a list of my favorite things and then what sounds I could use to portray them. I used a number of different free sound banks but …Continue reading "These are a few of my favorite things (sounds)"

Weekly Wrap-up!
Daily creates: Moon Graffiti: I found this activity very interesting and it reminded me of a podcast in a way but, it was on SoundCloud. The background sounds really helped me capture an image in my head. my mindset was in outer space! Bumping up the radio: Creating a radio bumper was something new for … -
80’s Pogo Ball Commercial
From the assignment bank I chose to do an assignment called “80’s Product Radio Commercial”. This assignment was easy for me because I had just learned how to use Audacity and could find sounds easily. I started by looking through a list of products that were popular during the 80’s. After picking the Pogo Ball … -
Live Tweet-Along Reaction
This week we were challenged to participate in a live tweet along while listening to the DS 106 radio show. This one proved very challenging for me as listening in on the background noises and musics made me not focus on the words and actual plot of the story. The audio drama that aired the … -

I had a lot of fun with this assignment, of which the goal was to record a phone conversation with myself, but to try and make it seem like its two completely different people! Here’s the final product! In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, but also in the spirit of you don’t […] -

It’s 1981 and You’re Sad
It’s 1981. You took your high school crush to the Senior Prom. When you both got there, your date ran away to dance with another person for the rest of the night, forgetting you even exist. You run... Read More -
Sound Effects Story
I found this assignment to be super fun yet challenging. As I said earlier, I have very little experience when it comes to audio recording and softwares. In fact I hate hearing myself talk and can’t work a computer to save my life. A bonus for me was that I could just use sound effects … -
Reflection time
This audio is a perfect example of good storytelling. The background music gave it more suspense. The change of tone in the people’s voices made the audio more real. If the sound was cheerful then it wouldn’t be as impactful. Sound matters when it comes to storytelling. The sound evokes the reader to feel fear […] -

audio reflection
Sound drives stories in many ways. In my opinion, it can be the most important part of a movie. The sounds people listen to can invoke various feelings in the listener of a audio story or the watcher of a movie. You can watch a scene in a movie where somebody is walking slowly around […] -
Are You Listening?
This week’s focus was on audio, which I have mostly dabbled in when it came to making mixes for my PAC pieces, whether it’s cutting a song to fit the allowed time frame or putting different songs together and making sure one songs transitions to the next as fluidly as possible. However, before getting into […] -
