One audio assignment I completed this week was Create A DS106 Radio Bumper. I decided to make it related to The Wire so I could possibly use it for my radio show. Using audacity I recorded my self saying DS106. I then used the effect “paulstretch” to have it said a little slower. I also lowered the pitch to make it sound very low. There is no reason for this I just thought it sounded cool. I pulled a sound effect off of Youtube for the beginning of the bumper. I wanted it to sound like you were trying to turn the knob to tune in to the right station. Now with digital receivers we do not have this issue but I remember when I was younger trying to get that exact spot where you didn’t hear any fuzzy noise. Thanks to soundclouds copyright laws I was unable to upload it to soundcloud so I am uploading it directly here. The assignment did not take too long. I am definitely getting better at audacity so that helps cut back on the time for editing.
