No Butterflies…
I love quotes, so when I saw the Quote with a New Feeling Assignment (2.5 stars), I knew it was one that I would want to do. I then started thinking about it and realized that it could be a good one to use Ella Maguire for. I think quotes are really helpful and can represent … -
We only got one life….
I knew instantly what song I wanted to choose for the What a Song Might Mean to You Assignment (3.5 stars). My two friends and I went on a bus tour for spring break while I was abroad, and the bus driver and tour guide picked a song that represented our group to play each … -
Wavy Seashells
Hey all! For this assignment (Assignment 2298) I decided to create something using a sound from freesounds.org as my basis. The name of the original sound is “Drums Trap Beat”. I downloaded this song from the website and then opened up Audacity. Audacity is very easy to use, and the more I use it the … Continue reading Wavy Seashells -
A Realistic Horror Story
I hope you didn’t have your volume turned up for that one! For my first assignment this week I’ve created a story using only sound effects for 4 stars. You had to use only sound effects and no voices, with a minimum of 5 different sound effects. Despite our theme of mythology, I created a … Continue reading A Realistic Horror Story -

One of the audio assignments that I selected was to take a normal sound and distort it. Here is a Train Horn distorted! 🙂 -
You’re Listening to DS106 Radio
by @EmilyHutchins8 September 26, 2018This was my first assignment using Audacity, so I was a little worried about using it. I used freesound.org to download the radio tuning and background music. I added the tuning/static to add a sound effect and to make the bumper have something differ... -
My DS106 Radio Bumper
This is my Create a DS106 Radio Bumper assignment. I wasn’t quite sure what to say other than “You are listening to DS106 radio,” so I just made up that a new series would be starting with a live tweet-along. I added some rock music to the background & turned it down a bit so … -
Roller Coaster Ride with a Nervous Newbie
For my last assignment from the audio assignment bank, I chose Roller Coaster Freaks for 2.5 stars. I got really into this one!! I layered 6 different audio clips until I was happy. I used freesounds.org for my audio and audacity to edit the clips. I used a clip of someone’s roller coaster ride throughout the …Continue reading "Roller Coaster Ride with a Nervous Newbie"

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things…
I chose to complete the “A Collection of Your Favorite Sounds” assignment. Although it is only 2 stars, it looked fun so I went for it! My top 4 favorite sounds (in order) are: a sleeping baby, a laughing baby, the ocean waves, and food frying! I used freesound.org for all of my sounds. I … -
From Laughing to Crying
As one of my assignments I completed the Make Noise From a Normal Sample assignment (4 stars). I was nervous for this one because I wasn’t sure how to turn the noise into something meaningful rather than just static. After further thought, I decided to play with the audio of children laughing. I used audacity … -
My Very own TED Talk… Kind of
I really enjoyed the Ted Talk Pronunciation Practice Assignment (3 stars). It was right up my alley. I enjoy public speaking and presenting to others, so I enjoyed this activity. I first watched through the video, pausing every few seconds to type out the script of what the presenter was saying because I was unable … -
Manny’s Trip to the Park
I started out audio week by trying the sound effects story assignment since we had to do it. I decided to incorporate my character into this by making it sound like Manny was taking a trip to the park. As you all probably know by now, I’m not tech savvy. This was incredibly hard for me and … -
Summer in NYC
I spent the summer working in NYC, so taking the subway was a common activity of mine. I got used to the hustle and bustle both above and below the streets of NYC, the swiping of MetroCards, and of course the rush of subways coming in. For my first Visual Assignment, Sound Effects Story (3.5 … -
A Mysterious-Sounding Radio Bumper
So, I neither listen to the radio often nor have ever created a radio bumper, so this was all new to me! The wording wasn’t hard to think up, as I have heard enough radio in my life to think of what to say. The hardest part was getting the music, which I got from […] -
A Ghostly Siren
The Noise I Made: The Original Audio I used: So, for this assignment, I used my roommate’s electric pencil sharpener as the noise to change. Not only is it something we all recognize (I’m everyone has heard an electric pencil sharpener), but it is a steady noise, which makes distorting it and make the noise […] -
A Dorm Room’s Symphony
For creating this assignment, which is creating a place just using sound, I decided to take inspiration from real life and make my dorm room. How I came up with that, I have no idea. Perhaps its because I was sitting in my room when thinking of ideas. I wanted to make something that could […] -
A Quiet Office On A Rainy Day
This story was actually told a different way earlier this semester, in my post introducing my character Maria Segreti. I the post, I described using words. Writing, out of all the options, is definitely my medium, so I wanted to challenge myself to try and describe the story a different way. If you want to […] -
That Sounds Painful
Check this out! For audio assignment 70, I utilized Audacity and also freesounds.org to put it all together! I had the idea of creating the soundtrack for someone who is tired coming home, and then opening the closet door to put his bag down at which point everything came falling down from the closet onto him. … Continue reading That Sounds Painful -
Staaaay Classy
Hi! So after getting frustrated enough to want to drop kick my MacBook across the room, I finally had fun! This was a cool assignment, and my wife says that I have a future in radio so there’s that. I obviously began by getting familiar with Audacity. I remembered using it in high school (to … Continue reading Staaaay Classy -
A Froggy Tongue Twister
Words: A tree toad loved a she-toad, Who lived up in a tree. He was a two-toed tree toad, But a three-toed toad was she. The two-toed tree toad tried to win, The three-toed she-toad’s heart, For the two-toed tree toad loved the ground, That the three-toed tree toad trod. But the two-toed tree toad […] -
Guess That Tune
by @Tyra13748487 September 7, 2018Have you ever randomly had a song or tune stuck in your head. Sometimes not even the whole song but a snippet of the song and it keeps replaying in your mind over and over again. This has happened to me on numerous occasions and at very random moments. The other day, I was sitting … -
Song in Another Room
You’re trying to do your homework when your brother’s band starts playing in the garage again. You can’t count how many times you’ve heard this song in a row. Your brother’s friend Cameron’s voice is just so grating this many listens in a row. Your mom calls you to help do the dishes but you … -
Hello…
I saw this assignment and thought it was something fun and different to try. I am not a very creative person, so I wanted to pick a song that already had a lot of emotion whether it was sad or happy. I immediately thought about any of Adele’s song as an option just because they are popular and have a lot of drama to them. I thought of “Hello” and decided it would be interesting to hear it as a more upbeat song, so I gave it a shot. I googled the lyrics to the song and then recorded it through quicktime on my mac. I started by reading it very upbeat, and I think I slowly started to make it more sad and it was kind of a wave of upbeat and sadness. It was harder than I thought to stay upbeat/have the opposite feelings than in the song because I am so used to hearing the song a certain way. I am so used to hearing “Hello” in a sad way that my mind automatically went to that place. I also learned that even without the music and the beat, it was still easier to say the lyrics in that arrangement. Overall, I thought it was a cool project to change perceptions of a song and see how hard it was to retrain my brain to saying the song in a different way. Goodbye, Emily -
Roger-Year 2156
https://frequency2156.com/signal/40 Alright I don’t know why but I used the name Roger yet again for another assignment. I guess it’s just the name of the day. I chose this assignment because I was looking for something that would slowly introduce me into the audio assignments category. This was the perfect introduction! I started by visiting the … Continue reading Roger-Year 2156 -
Guile’s Theme Mash Up

We All Lift Together: Next Door Edition
“You just got off of your night shift in the scrapyard. It’s been a long day, you’re ready to go home. You get in your car but before you can drive away, song starts, the morning shift has arrived. You sit in your car, wondering why you always have the boring night shift. You cry... -
A Spooky Sound Effect Story
For the next 3.5 stars for my Audio Assignments, I completed the Sound Effects Story assignment. For this assignment we had to make a short story using only sound effects. I used freesound to get all of my sounds and Audacity for all of my audio editing. At my house we have an electronic piano... -
Alternate History: World War III
For the first 3.5 stars out of the 12 needed for our Audio Assignments, I completed the storytime audio assignment. This had to tie back into our alternate history choice in some way, shape, or form. For my alternative history, I decided to take a look at what would happen if the Cuban Missile Crisis...
