    Short and Sweet Transitional Song

    by
    With audio programs, making a song from scratch suddenly becomes really, really easy. Programs like GarageBand come with their own loop selection, but if you are using a different program, try downloading bass riffs or back beats and go to town! Or download beats from Youtube- wherever. The challenge is to make a song without… Continue reading Short and Sweet Transitional Song

    This Is Halloween

    by
    In preparation for my favorite holiday, I decided to complete this #ds106 Audio Assignment which had me mixing together different spooky sounds. I used FreeSound to find different public domain tracks and Audacity to mix them together. I focused on creaky wooden steps, ghost whispers, group whispers, spanish whispers, and something more phantom-like. I’ve neverContinue reading "This Is Halloween"

    Audio Assignments:3’s A band

    by
    I decided to make an audio assignment because I noticed there was a considerable lack of composition based audio assignments in the assignment bank. I certainly Plan on adding more audio assignments, and I’ll try to add tutorials for all of them. For this Audio Assignment you’ll use any composition software (muse score, finale, etc.)… Continue reading Audio Assignments:3’s A band

    Audio Assignment: Reverse It

    by
    The Audio Assignment Reverse It Asks that you take a soundtrack form a musical and rearrange the tracks in order to create a whole new story. Many musicals begin and end in similar places musically, with the finale being a reprisal of some of the main beginning numbers of the Musical, and the case is… Continue reading Audio Assignment: Reverse It

    it’s spooky season!

    by
    Within this assigment, you must find some spooky sounds and create a scary audio clip. Select more than four sounds and overlap them on a program like Audacity. You can use Freesound to select your sounds. Make them as spooky as possible. Good luck! https://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/spooky-season/ I loved this assignment! I love spooky season and was […]

    worst sound ever

    by
    Create YOUR worst sound ever. Take audio clips of every single sound that you hate and put them all together to make The Worst Noise Ever. https://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/auditory-hell/ For this assignment, I tried to come up with the worst sounds I could think of to make one giant auditory hell. It was not very fun searching […]

    While My MIDI Gently Weeps

    by
    by Thomas Pulsifer For my final task from the assignment bank, I’ve gone with Jennifer Hill’s 3-star prompt to convert a song into a MIDI file in order to produce the auditory illusion of hearing lyrics where there are none. I’ve heard this illusion plenty of times before, though I’ve never used a program toContinue reading "While My MIDI Gently Weeps"

    ROAR from Another Room

    by
    by Thomas Pulsifer It’s a Friday night. You’re alone in your dorm and are about to finish your homework before its due at midnight. Suddenly, one of your hallmates begins blasting music. Great. Now you can’t focus. Defeated, you lean back in your chair, staring up at the ceiling. You think back on your life’sContinue reading "ROAR from Another Room"

    radio bumper

    by
    This week, I created a radio bumper! I started by learning how to use Audacity with this resource, since I have never done audio editing before. I searched through ccMixter and chose this sound to use in my bumper: Late Summer Night’s Theme by TexasRadioFish, featuring Javolenus, Carosone, Calyman (Lemoneight), MalreDeszik, Apoxode. (Under CC BY […]

    Spooky Soundtrack

    by
    Nothing better than listening to a spooky soundtrack during the Halloween season! I did the Spooky Sounds audio assignment where you put together different spooky sounds to make one ultimate ghoulish nightmare of a soundtrack. I used Audacity and got my sounds from freesoundslibrary.com. I layered them in Audacity so that they all play at...

    At the Diner

    by
    The last audio assignment I completed for this class was a sound effects story. For this assignment we had to create a short narrative using only sound effects. Since I had already set my other two audio assignments in restaurants, I decided to make this one “restaurant themed” as well. This time I wanted to […]
