I chose this Mystery Song because it’s pretty popular and I think just about everyone has heard it before. When I played it backwards, I will admit that it’s pretty hard to figure out what it is so I’ll try and make my clues helpful. My clues are: The songwriter is a man who likes … Continue reading Mystery Song

Here’s my Radio Show Commercial for “Ever Ready”. I listen to a lot of radio and the majority of the commercials I hear are for companies like this one that I made up. They always have some guy with a deep “manly” voice telling you that you need to get a new heating unit, new windows, home … Continue reading Radio Show Commercial

Here’s my Radio Show Bumper I completed for my Radio Show Group! I was going for a contemporary feel for our radio show so I wanted to make the bumpers similar to those that you hear on like NPR. Not necessarily the desired effect, but it’s not bad. Audacity makes things easy so I didn’t run into … Continue reading Radio Show Bumper

This is a Reverse Song Quiz.  Can you guess what it is? This should be a pretty big challenge for most people, since I don’t know anybody personally that has even heard of this artist.  Of course, if you’ve read… Continue Reading →

For the Radio Commercial assignment, we had to make a commercial we would put in a break in our radio show.  This is what I came up with: I based it off a bunch of lawyer firm commercials I had… Continue Reading →

This assignment had us make a radio bumper for our groups radio show, where we had to inform the listener of what they were actually listening to. I tried to make it clear that our show is a little bit… Continue Reading →

For this assignment, we just had to take a song and slow it down so you just get the basic sounds of the song and make it sound ethereal. The song I chose I had just heard for the first… Continue Reading →

Radio Show Commercial. Radio Show Bumper Radio Show Halloween History

For this weekly summary we were supposed to do only one for the two weeks because we had a group project to create a radio show! Very fun assignment I can imagine that it was something new for all of us to experience together. Over the semester working with audio has gotten easier and easier […]

My daily create summary is located here. My radio commercial can be found here and the bumper here. The 911 call...

My radio commercial I created using a YouTube clip and Audacity.

Summary: Bumper: https://soundcloud.com/user-225217162/bummer-2015 I choose to do my bumper as a way to link the previous segment into mine. I used a heart beat sound to let listeners know that my segment is coming up. I didn’t use audacity for my bumper, instead I played YouTube clips in the background of my recording on sound cloud.     Commercial: https://soundcloud.com/user-225217162/commercial  

These two weeks went by so fast! All the work with the radio show made the days fly by but luckily my group stayed on top of things and everything was done on time. The process of working with audio has been fun and a learning experience. I’ve learned more about the features of Audacity … Continue reading Weekly Summary 7&8 →

The way I made the commercial is the same way I made the bumper. I started by recording the speaking part of the commercial. I then added the sound clip that I got from this website. I shifted the voice audio to the middle of the sound clip which allowed me to have part of it be … Continue reading Commercial →

Creating a radio show was something that I never thought I would be doing. I’m a pretty shy person and don’t really speak out unless I know you well, and I have to admit I was nervous once I seen that we would have to do this. But after doing it, I can say it […]

This was my story for our radio show. I decided to do a sports story because that is basically my life. I picked Lamar Odom and what he has been going through in his life as of lately. Strong man that has had it rough for the last few years with hopes of getting his […]

I chose “Do You Hear What I Hear” and “Make Your Own Ringtone(s)“. “”Do You Hear What I Hear” is rated 3 stars and “Make Your Own Ringtone” has a difficulty rating of … Continue reading Weekly Summary 7&8

So and So’s Greatest Hits! I chose Fetty Wap, he has been at the top of the charts ever since his hit single “Trap Queen”. For that reason is why he’s been in my music playlist for awhile now. I love how he has his own style he doesn’t follow anyone else, he is creating […]

The Work Itself  This assignment is titled “Make Your Own Ringtone(s)”. The instructions were to “use Audacity, trim, join end-to-end (cut/paste), and/or play side-by-side audio files in order to create your very own ringtone. Ringtones should be a maximum or 40 seconds to conserve phone memory (besides, most cell phones don’t ring longer than 30 … Continue reading “Wake Up, Wake Up”

For my final audio assignment of the week, I decided to complete Make it 800% Slower. This assignment asks you to find a song and experiment with the tempo, making the song an ambient piece of music. I chose Ellie Goulding’s “Love Me Like You Do” and used Audacity to edit it. Below is my […]

HEEEELLLLOO! My, my! Two weeks flew by! These two weeks were dedicated to finishing our radio show and completing a few audio assignments here and…

The Work Itself  I completed this assignment by using Garageband. I compiled and put together a collection of sounds I hear everyday. This audio assignment is rated 3 stars and is titled “Do You Hear What I Hear?”. The instructions are to “record glimpses of the different sounds you hear throughout the day, whether it … Continue reading My Ears Are Bleeding
