Adjusting the Set

As I’ve mentioned I’ve been mostly  keeping to my lodgings in The Village, not going out, thinking and dreaming.

Sometimes when I am half awake, watch tv, strange things happen.

 

There might be a clue in this ds106 Assignments as to what is going on, and I guess that the RSS feed might need:


I’ll be hearing strange sounds…

Opposites Attract

Three hints about the song:

1. Released in 2010
2. Hit number 1 on the Hip Hop/R&B Billboard Chart
3. The lead on the song is also a comedian.

 

This was the first of two audio assignments that I completed this week, and I found the tutorial on it to be very helpful. In all, this assignment was a perfect way to get introduced to Audible.The act of reversing the song was easy enough, but I did play around a bit and get thoroughly frustrated and lost before looking up a tutorial.  I tried to pick a song that would sound melodic backwards and forward, because in my mind, that would make it harder for the listener to figure out what it might sound like the right way forward. If I ma being completely honest, I also picked the song because it’s one of my absolute favorites.

 

If you’re curious what the original song is, it was Fall For Your Type, by Jamie Foxx and Drake.

Can You Guess The Name Of This Song?

This assignment had us talk a song and reverse it for others to guess the name of the song. To do this, I just imported the song of my choice into Audacity and used the reverse effect. Any Guesses?

Here are some hints:

  • This is a pretty recent song that has been reversed, it’s on the Billboard Top 100.
  • The song title begins with the letter “C” and ends with the letter “C”.
  • It mentions Michael Jackson.
  • One Guy sings and the other one raps.
  • The artist’s title begins with an “M’ and ends with an “O”. Any Guesses?

Song Reversed

One of this weeks assignments was to reverse the music of a song file. This assignment was made simple because of the editor in Audacity. I have never thought about reversing a song so this assignment was interesting. It made the song make no sense at all but hopefully you will be able to figure it out.

Hints

1) The song is sung by Eric Church.

2) The song is on his album “Chief”

3)  The title is something that you might call a boy in his home.

 

The original assignment can be found here. It is worth 2.5 stars.

Slamina!

For this Audio Assignment I did Reverse Audio Quiz which is 2.5 stars. I had to pick a song that I liked and reverse it then give you three hints so you can try and figure it out.

Here is my track and here are my three hints to see if you can try and figure it out:

1)The Artist is on The Voice

2)It came out in 2014

3)It was on the Kia Soul Hamster commercial

I really enjoyed this assignment, I did it by importing the track onto Audacity. After I imported the track I went to Edit and hit select then select all and then go to effects and hit reverse. I never realized it would be that simple to reverse a song but there you go!

This song sounds really cool reverse so I hope that you guys listen too and can figure out what song it is! :)

Can you guess this reversed song?

For 2 1/2 stars this week, I did the Reverse Audio Quiz assignment. I chose this because it looked like a fun thing to do, and because I was curious about how some songs would sound backward. While doing this assignment, I ended up messing around a lot. I recorded myself saying a whole bunch of palindromes (words that are the same backwards as they are forward: racecar, hannah, kayak) and reversing them to see if they sounded the same. My favorite palindrome I came across was “kinnikinnik.”

In order to do this assignment, I imported a song to Audacity and from the Edit menu, selected Select –> All, and then from the Effects menu I selected Reverse. This easily reversed the song for me. After this, I exported the file so that I could save it and uploaded it to soundcloud. The point of this assignment was to see who could guess the song first, and below it are 3 hints if you need them. So, can you guess it?

 

This is a song that I really like in reverse! Can you guess what it is?

Hint 1: It came out in 2010

Hint 2: It is by lifehouse

Hint 3: the title I gave it, is the title in reverse

 

Let me know your guesses!

Can you figure out what song this is?

This assignment was to pick a song, play it in reverse, and give some hints as to what the original may be.  I chose the song I did because I wanted a song that still sounded like itself even played in reverse.  That way there would still be a game of figuring out the sound rather than just going off the clues.  Can you figure it out?

 

Hint 1:  Queens…

Hint 2:  Song sung to children to sleep

Hint 3:  Belongs to a certain age

What Song is this?

I completed the Audio Assignment “Reverse Audio Quiz” in which you must reverse an audio file of music and give people three hints as to what the song is. My hints are:
-This song is on the soundtrack of a 2013 film.
-The singer’s genres of music are primarily considered to be pop, R&B, and folk music.
-The image on the audio file relates to the song itself and the movie soundtrack the song is from.

I decided on this particular assignment because I like to give people a quiz to solve. This type of assignment lets people interact with someone’s blog post in a different way and makes them feel a sense of accomplishment when solving the puzzle. I also wanted to listen to some particular songs backwards and hear how strange they sounded. I enjoy listening to the original version of this song and ended up finding the reversed version pleasant to listen to because the song is generally relaxing to listen to. I create this audio file by converting my iTunes version of this song into an AIFF file, dragging the file into Audacity, and using the Audacity editing tools to reverse the audio of the song file. I then exported the song as a wav. file, uploaded the file to Soundcloud, and embedded the Soundcloud file below.

Assignment Value: 2 1/2 stars

2 ½ Stars

I’ll give you 3 hints:

  1. Tom Petty
  2. Are you strong?
  3. The year is 1989

This assignment was a blast. It was hard to pick one song but I feel like everyone should know this one! Audacity is a breeze for something like this and reversing the song took no time. I took a YouTube link and converted it so that it could be saved. I uploaded it to Audacity, reversed the song, and then saved it as an mp3 so that it could be uploaded to Sound Cloud. Big fan of this assignment. You rock Tom Petty.
