So, a few hours ago, I didn’t know how OR what I wanted to do for my DS106 Bumper. And since I didn’t know what a bumper was at first, you may not know either. A bumper is the short audio clip that plays on radio stations to remind you what station you’re listening to, who is on the air, or even what kind of music is played. To put it simply, if you own a radio, you’ve heard one before.

I was a little scared for this assignment; 1. Because I didn’t know how long it would take and I’m running short on time 2. I didn’t know how saying DS106 radio with my own voice would turn out.

Turns out that with the help of Freesound and Audacity, I can make miracles happen with audio! I was able to nab some free sound effects off of Freesound, record my own voice in Audacity, and mash it all together and edit this little piece:

As with the FIRE FX post, I wish I had some more time to edit and make something really smooth. But I’m happy with what I created and am proud to start getting into audio editing!
