Here is my commercial for my groups radio, Picante Radio. Since our format is broad for a wide open discussion, I decided the song that would run in the background will the be Mario Theme Song, and surprisingly, it worked out pretty well with my small spiel. I used a youtube to .wav converter once […]

I wanted to get people hyped up for my radio segment so I decided that it would be cool to make a commercial that related to Halo 3 which is what I will be talking about. The commercial will you give a pretty good idea of what I am going to discuss. To make this […]

One of the audio recordings we had to do this week was the Foley. I had never heard of such a project before but I thought it was interesting that the object was to create sound for a silent movie. This is such a cool concept because it means using your imagination about what they might be saying in a… Read more →

I woke up this morning and decided to grab some lunch. On my way out of the dorm I looked out the window and to my surprise I saw someone standing on the balcony in the distance. I’m pretty sure it was Batman…

So I made my commercial like a sponsor add.  

For this assignment, we were suppose to generate Foley sounds for different segments in a Charlie Chaplin video.  Since my birthday was in October I had to generate sounds from 1:01 to 1:30. The process to create it was difficult, I first had to figure out what songs I wanted to generate. I first had to get […]

The radio bumper was by far my favorite thing to make because it was the most simple to make. My favorite song for Halloween when I was younger was the Monster Mash. Every year at my Elementary school was a Halloween dance called the “Monster Mash.” I would dress up in a homemade costume and dance around with my friends.… Read more →

My radio commercial for “Mary Hauntington” is all about the Ghost Tours of Fredericksburg. This is a pretty popular fall event in the town.  The historic preservation club and folks from downtown Fredericksburg come together to create this event. They dress is old time outfits and walk around showing haunted places in Fredericksburg. Here is the website for the tour.  I… Read more →

  At first, we communicated through email and through text which we came up with a theme and our team logo for DigiEagles and our haunted radio show theme. It did not take us long at all for us to come up with an idea. We instantly thought of horror/scary because of how close to […]

For today’s daily create, we had to create a miniature based on what was outside our window. I downloaded an app called “Picsart” on my iPhone and it allowed me to add some cool clip arts on the image I took that was outside my window. I apologize for the meshing getting in the way […]

For this daily create, I took a picture of Michael Jordan and cut it from the picture and paste it in a picture of city to make it look like he was flying.

For this assignment, we were suppose to use different sounds and music to create a spooky track. Creating this track was simple and a little tricky. At first, it was difficult to find the sounds and the music that I wanted to use for this assignment. I finally found the sounds I wanted on YouTube, […]

Original Assignment (2.5 stars) I remember reading an article about classic bands (Eagles, Queen, Led Zeppelin) who are hiding secret satanic messages in their songs when played backwards. Now that is pretty creepy is you ask me, but I never … Continue reading →

The last two weeks have been cray for me on a personal note as well as school. Lets see, my mom had knee surgery the Tuesday before last so I have been taking care of here and running here to and from the store and doctors appointments. I have been sick since Monday of this […]

Bumper: Commercial:  

Here is my Chaplin Foley challenge. I used only my voice (which I don’t have much of one since i’m sick) to make sounds I thought suited my section from 2:01-2:30.This wasn’t that challenging because I took the easy way out and watched the video on one side of my screen while on the other […]

Mini Window Silhouette October 19, 2104  (Now you can say you’ve seen a penguin watch a wakeboarder fall out of an airplane that was being chased by an alien!) Copy & Paste October 18th (Flat Stanley teleported himself so fast from working to Lake Anna that all he left was a blurred spot of brick in […]

Here is a commercial I produced for my groups radio show, The Hamptons Handyman. Being that the setting will take place in The Hamptons, I have added some classical music in the background that I found on youtube. I copied … Continue reading →

So the daily create for today (10/18) was Ctrl-X CTRL-L in RL, the task was to create a real life example of the computer shortcuts “cut” and “paste”. To accomplish this, I took two pictures of shelves in my house, and... Continue Reading →

For another audio assignment, I chose to do the Reverse Audio Quiz (2.5 stars). It took me a while to figure out how to reverse a song on editing software, but once I moved from Garageband to Audacity the process was a… Continue Reading →

For one of my chosen audio assignments, I picked “Row Row Polyphony“: (2.5 stars) An imitative polyphony can best be described as when you were younger in music class and the teacher would have one side of the class start singing… Continue Reading →

911, what’s your emergency? 3 1/2 stars For my first audio project this week, I did the 911 call prompt. I’ve never gotten to call 911 before and it’s actually a little disappointing. This project was almost liberating, finally giving me… Continue Reading →

As part of the assignment, each of us had to create a radio bumper, where a final two will be selected to be used in the radio show. After doing previous assignments using Audacity, the bumper was pretty simple to create in fact. The only tough part was what instrumental I could use that I […]

I made a radio bumper for the upcoming Picante Radio Broadcast and I am pretty satisfied with how it came out sounding. What I did was record the song Bailando (spanish version) by Enrique Iglesias. What I did from there was record from text to speech a voice saying Picante Radio. I decided to use […]

For my radio commercial, I decided to do an advert for the radio show itself. I came up with a few quips on why you should listen to the station and used a text-to-voice converter called Yakitome! in and English accent. In the background, I added a classic theme song called Left Bank Two by […]

For the second of the two optional audio assignments I chose to do So and So’s Greatest Hits worth three stars. When I saw that one I knew I had to do because there are plenty of bands and artists that I could make a five song mash up for. I thought long and hard and […]

Original Assignment (3 stars) I am a huge fan of Linkin Park and there are a bunch of other great songs by them but these five are just personal favorites of mine. Here are the songs in order of how I set it up, followed by the album from which the song came from: Bleed […]

https://soundcloud.com/cifax434/return-of-the-tres-radio-bumper-1 For my contribution to the group’s radio bumper, I decided to go with a latin flair that accompanies our group name of Picante Radio. I followed most of the same steps as last time when I made the bumper for DS106 Radio. I found a song called Return of the Tres by Delinquent Habits […]

After completing this assignment, I have a greater respect for those responsible for foley production. You really have to be on your “A” game and the timing has to be on point. This was probably the most difficult audio assignment … Continue reading →
