So let me start off by saying somehow this post got saved as a draft instead of posting. So if it seems confusing that this got posted after my summary that is why. But anyways…
I sadly had a hard time deciding exactly what I wanted to do for this audio assignment. I know that it shouldn’t have been all that hard to do, but I pretty much dreaded. When I finally just sat down to do it it wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be.
I used audacity to make my bumper. I did a little bit of playing around and a little bit of goggling to figure out exactly how to use audacity. I ended up using I ended up using the Boyce Avenue cover of Oasis’s song Wonderwall for my background music. I love this song and this cover and thought that it was just interesting enough for me to use for my bumper. I started off the clip by fading the song in and ended it by fading the song out. I then recorded my voice and placed in a few seconds into the song. I sadly do not own a very good microphone so there is a bit of static int he background. I’ll have to get something better for the future.
But here is my bumper. Hope you like it.
Brittany,
I think your bumper was very well done and you have a good grasp of how to use Audacity. You voice was well paced and despite the static, audible.
Congrats,
Karen
Love the song you picked for your bumper! I would have maybe recorded your talking clip on a different device to eliminate the background noise, but other than that, great job!
Great radio bumper! I love the song “Wonderwall”. I can’t wait until I can hear that on the DS 106 radio!
I really loved your song choice for the Bumper! Oasis is my jam! I had a small hiccup with mine in the sense that I forgot to ease the ending out and instead it kind of just ended really abruptly, so I like how you made it fad out. I would work on how to make your speaking section a little less static so that we don’t loose too much of the overall flow, but otherwise, wonderful job! =]
The song choice was really good! I wonder why your computer mic was so static-y? Weird!
I feel like Audacity may have a voice cleaner for heavy static. I use Audition, so I’m not entirely sure, but there may be something like Static/Noise reducer. That helped me with mine.
That’s a good idea. I totally didn’t even think that could have been an option there. I’ll have to look next time. Or I’ll have to download audition because it was a lot of static.
