Ahoy, me mateys! Here’s a riddle for ye young lads. What is a pirate’s favorite amino acid?       ARRRRRRginine! (Arginine)   Alright ya’ chums, now put down the grog and back to work!

So this week I did 3 daily creates: (1, 2, 3) I also did the 10 stars worth of Audio Assignment Bank projects (I actually did 12^^): (RollingDeep, Song?, Row, SFX) I responded to the Audio Resources, Reading and the Moon Graffiti, and brainstormed some ideas for the radio show. The Moon Graffiti post is refusing to link … Continue reading Weekly Summary 9/25/15

This week is definitely the worst to date. It is safe to say even the strongest people have breaking points. I a 20 year old junior in college working 45 hours a week on top of having a full time course load of classes. In the beginning of the semester I told myself I don’t […]

  Showcase The Daily Creates: Abbey Road Juxtapose and new Pirates Tale Assignments: The effects of audio storytelling “Last Laugh” The Bumper Audio Assignments: Story without voices Favorite Song Make it Slower Thoughts and Ideas: Radio Brainstorm      

This week was all about telling stories using audio. I researched audio techniques and I wrote about my thoughts on audio storytelling. This week instead of using audacity I used Garage Band because I am decently experienced with it. Using garage band I created 5 different weekly assignments: one about misheard lyrics, one speaking spams … Continue reading Week 5 Summary →

So I brainstormed. These are the ideas I have for the radio collab to come in the future: I’m not sure if this was listed somewhere as a requirement but we should all be in our host personas during the broadcast. I feel like it would be fun for each host in the broadcast to … Continue reading (-iDeas-)

I read “The Last Laugh” and chose to think of sound effects for the first page. It gave me such a classic detective vibe even though he was being looked at medically. I would probably have some sort of smooth sleuthy music in the background and have the creaks in the scene overly pronounced to … Continue reading The Last Giggle

This week I created 3 daily creates for Ds 106. On Wednesday I made latte art. It might not be a classy latte but im not that big of a coffee fan. @ds106dc #tdc1354 My latte art might not be the best but I'm McLovin' it https://t.co/R32X9WyhRM — Aaron Dyke (@datdyke) September 24, 2015 On Thursday … Continue reading A weeks worth of Daily Creates →

This assignment was a lot of fun! I went through freesounds.com and found some clips that fit what I wanted to do with my story. From there, I placed them into Audacity and changed some things around. With some of the shorter clips, I decided it would be best if I rearranged them or had … Continue reading Scary Sound Effect Story →

Wow, Moon Graffiti was so full of atmosphere. Even without all of the sound effects there was a nice little hum in the background constantly that added a spacey vibe. Its weird to think that the government had a cover story for if something went wrong. I suppose you have to in that situation though. That … Continue reading ##Apparently There Are 2 Men in The Moon##

The assignment was to create an original poem, but I took it one step further. I decided to improvise the entire thing! Now, I do actually write poetry and I wouldn’t call what I did here anything special. BUT I do think this was an interesting challenge for me. Maybe later in the semester I’ll … Continue reading AUDIO ASSIGNMENT – An Original Poem →

I shouldn’t even have to explain why I did this assignment, but I will. Simply put: because I’m real. The realest. Like 100% farm fresh dairy, no pasteurization required… yet. Fresh grated cheese kind of real. Homemade yogurt real. I can call up Ben & Jerry for a pint of ice cream at 3:00am real! … Continue reading AUDIO ASSIGNMENT – Real Housewife →

I found myself working with the local news outlet to report on traffic conditions in the area. Lo and behold, I managed to find myself face-to-face with an actual car chase! Or, so I thought. Perhaps I got a little carried away. Hear my wonderful voice here! And check out the footage I so ceremoniously … Continue reading Um… interesting. →

I had a lot of fun messing around with audio projects this week. To be completely honest, though, I was dreading the thought of it all. But, I’m happy to say that by powering through it, I had a great time and learned how to better use Audacity (and plenty of file converters…). The toughest … Continue reading Weekly Summary #5 →

I thought for a while about what I would do when it comes to doing a Radio Show. I think I would start out and have us narrate a scary story using our host characters and that we could try having them introducing it and then getting into character. Maybe only one host character does […]

(^Idols- Virtual Riot^) The main message I got out of reading the Audio Resources page was that good audio has layers. Stacks on stacks of layers. I had heard of the catastrophe that was the radio broadcast of War of the Worlds. Its so funny that it happened but I can see how it was a … Continue reading >^Stacks on Deck^

This was an Audio Assignment and it was worth 2 and a half stars. For this assignment I had to take one of my favorite songs and have the instrumental play without lyrics for 30 seconds and hopefully someone will figure out what it is! Post in the comments below to give your guesses and […]

This is an Audio Assignment and it was worth 4 stars. The task for this audio assignment was to slow down a song that you enjoy by 800%. I chose to do Lay All Your Love On Me by ABBA. I have been on this ABBA binge for the past month so I thought it […]

Hello~ Red Reaper here~ Yes, Yes*, I know you wanted to hear a little of my life. Unfortunately~ I was away on a business trip* and I can’t have you knowing my business~. *Instead I have arranged a glimpse into my cat’s business. Enjoyyy~ *

Hello, friends. I’m sure we’ve all had a busy week, so why don’t we all just take a second to relax? Here I have an incredibly smooth radio bumper for our beloved DS106 Radio, so kick back and enjoy.

https://t.co/PV5uL2Mafr. Yo HO it's a pirates life for me @ds106dc #tdc1356 — Gabby Christie (@christie_gabby) September 25, 2015   For the Daily Create I had to learn Pirate lingo and tell a story via audio and record it. To say the least it was the most interesting task of the week. I think by the […]

Annndddd week 5 has come to an end! I’m SO thankful it’s finally done. I’ve come to learn that I’m really not a fan of this whole recording myself business. I’m generally a pretty shy person until you get to...

For today’s daily create (9/25/15) we were told to make an audio clip of us talking like a pirate in honor of “Talk Like a Pirate Day” on the 19th. I thought that singing about the pirate life would be fun because I like to sing and that song is so catchy!

I was pretty nervous when I saw this assignment, I didn’t really think I’d come up with anything all that great. But I pushed myself, and I did it! I mean, no radio bumper is thaaattt spectacular, right? Because I...

This is an Audio Assignment where we had to create a bumper which is the in between segments to remind people what they are listening to. I chose to have an interesting haunting background that was suspenseful since that is the theme of the stories I listened to on the radio this week. I went […]

I created a bumper for Ds106 Radio in this assignment thanks to the help from my roommates girlfriend and garageband. I felt the organ sound mixed with a good radio voice is a classic bumper and then to make the bumper spooky I ended off the bumper wit...

Whenever I watch a movie, specifically a suspenseful one, I always look forward to the audio/soundtrack. I have always felt that the backtrack of a movie is the most important part. Have you ever watched a really important scene in...

This week was all about audio, which was interesting and a bit challenging for me as I have never experimented much with audio creation devices, such as Audacity and SoundCloud. This week I brainstormed some ideas for our future Radio Show, and created a Radio Bumper. I also participated in a live tweet-along of Ds106 radio, which… Read More

For this assignment, we had to make a short “radio bumper”, which is audio that announces a radio station between songs. To make this bumper, I first created a clip of myself talking about the radio station, and then found a short, creepy sounding audio clip from freesounds.org for an introduction. I also found a beat… Read More

For this Audio Assignment Bank project called “Row Row Polyphony” worth 2.5 stars, I had to sing a round of Row Row Row Your Boat. It was pretty straightforward. I say again because I sang Adele’s Rolling In The Deep with myself in another post found here!
