I have never been a fan of creating audio or even playing with it. For some reason, it just doesn’t click in my head. In our earlier audio experiences it wasn’t that bad. However, when I started to dive into the audio assignment bank I found a few assignments frustrating. I tried a few, and this is the best result. When I first came across the assignment, Chipmunk’d, I thought it looked really cool. I had always liked Alvin and the Chipmunks and thought it would be interesting to channel their voices into a modern day song.

I decided to use Yellow by Coldplay. I wanted to do a slow song to speed it up a bit (just thought it would be an intersting effect). I also already had the song on my computer so that takes out one step. I uploaded the song to audacity and started playing with it. Around 1 1/2 hours later I was still playing with it. I couldn’t get the pitch or the tone right. It just all sounded funny to me. I even tried a few other songs (Wannabe-Spicegirls, and a few Jack Johnson songs) but nothing seemed to work right. I have no idea why. I finally went back to my original song and started playing with it the best I could. I used the change tempo tool to sort of speed it up and then the change pitch tool to try and make the chipmunk sound. I found when I changed hte pitch, the music behind the lyrics changed also. It was just a funny sound for me and I wasn’t sure how to fix it. However, I worked so long on this I had to share what little work I accomplished.
