This is my first shot at the DS106 Radio Bumper. For some reason, when I was creating the bumper I couldn’t stop thinking about the Looney Toons. I found the opening theme on Frogstar.com and added the theme in as an opener. I then clipped several different songs to create the message in the bumper. I complied all the clips together in Audacity.
Having an assignment like this that is so open to creative interpretation is amazingly fun, yet at the same time, frustratingly hard. You want to create something awesome and memorable and you have to narrow down which resources you use and the multitude of ideas that you have brainstormed. I played with the idea of adding in clips from Doctor Who, The Simpsons, and Star Trek. I toyed with the idea of a musical interlude, different sounds, and different song choices. This was the final cut and I had fun manipulating it until I was happy.
While I was making this bumper, I was trying to figure out how the Looney Toons figured into DS 106. Yet, I thought of all the fun and craziness that accompanies the Bugs Bunny and all his co-cartoons. It definitely makes sense now and has it says in the Tiny Toons theme, “Expect the Unexpected” which seems to be a guiding philosophy at DS 106.
So in the words of Porky the Pig, “That’s All Folks!”
This assignment had to be one of the best assignments ever. I listen to the radio a lot and sometimes I like the bumpers more than anything else. Most bumpers are very catchy, and they don’t have many words in them, which makes it easier to remember. Although, this was one of the best ones, it took me a while to be confident enough to record it.
I feel that mine is very cheesy, but I had fun doing it. I first tried to write down something to say, but it didn’t seem right. As soon as I started recording the bumper, it all came together. All I did was play some background music and let words flow. I knew the background music had to be something “uppy” and would make people dance. So I chose to use Rihanna’s “We Found Love” (Yes, I am a Rihanna fan).
Hope you like it and I hope you find it catchy = )

I chose to do the Radio Bumper for DS106. Its taken me a few minutes to figure out what to say and do. My DS 106 Bumper
For this assignment we had to make a radio bumper for DS106 very own radio. It had to be 15-30 secounds long but mine was a little over, you can actually stop it at 30 secounds if you like lol, It wouldn’t make a difference though:
Here are the songs I used from the beginning to the end:
Got to Be Real- Cheryl Lynn
Get Down on it- Kool the Gang
Don’t Stop the Musik- S.O.S Band
Flash Light- Parliment
I also used a lot of samples some I downloaded off youtube and some I made myself by recording them off other songs. I used VirtualDJ (of course). I used some of the effects like: brake, backspin, vocal+, beat grid, and phaser to mix it smoothly. I decided to use these songs because I wanted to use a genre that I usually don’t listen to but I happen to have them on my itunes. It was actually fun mixing these songs. I would totally DJ for a funk party.
I don’t own the picture or songs I used. Kool?
RadiobumperDS106 by annie_belle1 This is my first-ever shot at making a radio bumper. I got the inspiration from this assignment posted by Jim Groom. I did some research, but I’m not 100% sure I understand what a radio bumper is. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be a sound effect or a mash-up of [...]
My Lady Gaga themed bumper “DS106 Radio Will Set You Free” was probably my favorite thing I made last year, so for my first contribution to the audio unit this year I decided to make a followup.
This one uses songs from the album Born This Way, including:
I also used this radio tuning sound effect from freesound.org and a quote from this interview.
Though I’ve been something of a stranger in the DS106iverse this time around so far, I have been thinking about the brilliant evolution of the course design – which Jim tells me is (at least part of) the genius of Martha Burtis. Specifically, I think the Assignment Repository is a glimpse of open classroom learning that simply establishes a framework for student/participant-choice and teacher/peer-facilitation that (much like the ds106.us site architecture and aggregation that I’ve written and spoke about before) I am eager to incorporate in my own classroom(s).
Which is where this post finds me, sharing not only my effort to produce a few Gleneagle Radio bumpers, but also a glimpse of the setup in this semester’s group of guitar students, who are able to fulfill their course work by choosing from a variety of assignments across several categories (and, if they don’t like what they find: go ahead and create their own). In addition to documenting their goals, and completed work on individual wiki pages attached to the class site, they are also encouraged to add their work to the corresponding Assignment page to create a repository of exemplars of the various projects, recordings and videos.
As we’ve made a habit of broadcasting from Gleneagle concerts, classrooms and other events, I hope that our school’s three guitar classes create ample fodder for our upcoming shows.
For my part, here are my first forays into the Bumper-business:
