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 …
Just me and my groovy beat. I used Audacity to make this beat. Below is both what it ended up sounding like, and also what it looked like on Audacity.
the beat:
Is it an Alien? What is it trying to communicate to us? Is it friendly like E.T. or does it want to destroy us? It’s actually a snoring Frenchie! Take a listen down below. She’s friendly and will accepts snacks. For this assignment, I recor...
I recently joined ds106 as an open participant, whilst conducting a very small scale micro-ethnographic study of ds106 as part of the Education and Digital Cultures (EDC) course (#mscedc). I have been following along with week five of UMW Spring 2020 and was inspired while listening to ds106radio this week, and hearing everyone’s radio bumpers, to try my hand at the …
The next assignment I decided to do for my audio assignment was Sound Effects Story. I was really excited about this assignment because I felt like it would be a place that I would have to be very creative. In this assignment I had to tell a story using only sound effects. I decided that …
I wanted to talk about technology and game consoles are a classic. I decided to talk about the Game Boy because I’m a fan of Nintendo. I never played this version of the Game Boy but I understand the thrill of playing on game consoles. So I did a product commercial about playing on the […]
Where you able to get it? No? Eh, I figured because unless you were cultured like me you would have known that this song is none other than Earfquake from Tyler the Creator. I played this song heavily during the semester of Fall 2019. I was introduced to this song by one of my friends […]
As soon as I started you should know what this song is. It is a classic. From the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson. Billie Jean is the song. When I first found this assignment I was trying to think of a modern-day song that I enjoy listening to. But this song instantly came into […]
The third audio assignment I chose was to pick a song that you like or means a lot to you. I chose the song Beat it by Michael Jackson, a classic but I was only able to easily find the instrumental version for download. Still when its included in my audio everyone knows what it …
This week one of our assignments was to create a radio bumper introducing our local DS 106 radio show. This assignment was very challenging to be at first because I know very little about audio software and editing. I first watched a few videos on how to use Audacity which I will link below and …
This project was definitely fun, but not easy. I watched a tutorial from a past student which helped a lot. I searched for 80s hip hop sound effects, but it sort of ended being something else. Let me know what you think. I used the following clips from...
For my third and last audio assignment, I chose to do What A Song Might Mean To You and spoke about a popular 80s song: George Michael’s “Careless Whisper.”
This assignment had me leaving a voicemail for a character from some sort of media. I decided, in keeping both with the 80s theme and with my personal interests, to leave a voicemail for Marius Pontmercy regarding his shirking of his revolutionary duties. Give it a listen! This was really, really fun to make, I […]
thats a really mean thing to say and i don’t mean it in regards to anyone including myself its just the most clever title i can currently think of for my ds106 RADIO BUMPER! This was really cute! a nice one take shot to get me into the groove of using audacity. Also helps that […]
so my original plan for the short story with only sound bytes was a titanic-esque drowning story, then i realized that was a little bit dark, and changed pace to a more lighthearted ooky spooky vibe, much like the popular cartoon scooby do! and here she is, in all her glory, fresh from my soundcloud […]
I chose to do the Make It 800% Slower assignment and to be on theme I decided to use the song, Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now (1987) by Starship. I chose this song for the year but also because it’s one of my favorite songs. It took me a while to figure out how to … Continue reading "Nothing’s Gonna Stop Me From Slowing This Down"
I knew I needed to do this Audio Assignment because it asked me to create my own layered relaxation sound track. I love ASMR and use a sound app to fall asleep so I really loved this challenge. I pondered what layered sounds I would want to hear to relax and decided on some soothing …
Assignment: Spooky Sounds For this assignment, make an audio track using found sounds or your own recordings that is creepy, spooky, scary, halloween-inspired. Make it more than a minute long so we have time to get scared! So! I was browsing the audio assignments and I saw one that caught my eyes. It was theRead More
I decided to compile an MP3 of my favorite sounds for one of my assignments this week. This assignment definitely took some thought because when I think of sounds I enjoy, I immediately think of songs or tiktok sounds. (lol) But, I wanted to think hard about it and pick sounds that I enjoy and … Continue reading "Compilation of Sounds"
For my first audio assignment this week I decided to go with A Life in Two Minutes. For this assignment I was tasked to talk about a moment that changed my life, but I only had 2 minutes to do so. I think being vulnerable is very important to do. It is good for you …
I was tasked to make a story out of only sound effects. Quite an odd assignment, but I am up to the task. Here’s what I came up with: It starts with a hard office worker who is fed up with his job, drives to the airport and takes a flight to the beach where … Continue reading "Sound Effects Story"
For this assignment we had to create a short story using only sound effects. I decided to get my sound effects from BCC Sound Effects. It was a lot of fun to listen to all the different sounds until I found some that I like. I decided my story would b...
Hello friends! For my sound effects story I decided to use sounds to demonstrate my morning routine for taking care of my dog, Rubeus. It begins with an alarm clock and I made sure to include the sound of a dog yawning because Ruby does it every time she wakes up and it’s the cutest … Continue reading "Sound Effects Story"
My favorite movie, Saving Private Ryan, gave me the perfect opportunity to recreate a short movie only using sounds. I decided to use the Omaha Beach Scene!! Enjoy!
