Audio Assignment 2

This assignment was relatively easy for me to do. I used this as a guide and it made the assignment a lot smoother, so thanks  Chanda!

Here is my finished product:

I imported the track into Audacity, because sadly, I own the track (hahah, but I love Andy Samberg and the gang). I then tried to change the pitch and tempo myself. That failed. I did as Chanda suggested and changed only the pitch to 110…GOLD! I played it and it sounded definitely chipmunk-ified.

How did I pick my track? Well, I knew I wanted to do a Lonely Island song, because I am a huge SNL fan, and what’s funnier than a little dirty humor in a chipmunk voice. I was going to do the one, I Just Had Sex, featuring Akon, which is a hilarious music video, see here:

But I thought I needed to make it more appropriate, so I chose the Creep, featuring none other than Ms. Nicki Minaj!

Here’s the Creep music video:

I love the lonely island because they are so talented and so good at writing songs that challenge the way we think about song lyrics and toeing the line of appropriateness. SNL gave them a great platform and they are just so daggone creative, that I’m jealous!

This assignment was worth 3 stars: 6 stars for the week so far.
