Can you guess my favorite song? (fingers crossed this doesn’t get taken down due to copyright)
For the first audio assignment I decided to do the one called “Favorite song“. What you do for this is you take your favorite song, take the words out of it and then upload 30 seconds of it and see if everyone can guess what it is. This process for my was very easy. First I googled the instrumental version of the song and found a link that I could download it for free. Then I downloaded it and uploaded it to audacity so I could crop it which now I know how to do because of last time. Once I cropped it I downloaded it as an MP2 and uploaded it to soundcloud and took the title out of it. This song is from 2008 I think so people should know it and is one of my favorite songs. Try to guess it!
This audio assignment had to do with stripping the lyrics to one of our favorite songs and seeing if the rest of the class can still tell what it is. To do this assignment I downloaded the song for free at https://www.mp3juices.cc and then used Audacity to strip the lyrics from it. Although this isn’t my all time favorite song, it is a song that is pretty important to me. My two best friends from back home were studying abroad in Scotland for the semester and they first heard this song there before it was popular here and they told me to listen to it and I loved it. Now it makes me think of them. (it is probably pretty easy to guess) But take a guess!!
Where you able to get it? No? Eh, I figured because unless you were cultured like me you would have known that this song is none other than Earfquake from Tyler the Creator. I played this song heavily during the semester of Fall 2019. I was introduced to this song by one of my friends that summer and I continue listening to it to this day. The beats, the lyrics, everything flows so well together. I have a lot of songs that I deem my favorite but I couldn’t find the instrumentals to those songs so I chose this one because there was a better chance that there was an instrumental.
For this assignment, Favorite Song, I went to the website Hipinstrumentals so I could download the music. I then had to convert the m4a file into an mp3 file by using Zamzar, a website you can use to convert files. Once I converted the file I came here and used the audio tool to show the audio. I embedded the song with lyrics so the reader could hear the original song.
I found a 80s song on Youtube and speed up with the settings in Youtube. I then did about a 30 second voice memo. I transferred this voice memo into GarageBand. Then, I made it a iTune file I could upload on SoundCloud. Can you guess this 80s song with just instrumental?

I absolutely love music, so this assignment was right up my alley. The idea of simplifying your favorite song to just the instrumental version is such a cool concept. By taking away the vocals of the song, I heard different parts in the instrumental version that I never caught in the original. It was very cool to be able to pay attention to the music that makes up the song. It makes you realize how the vocals to a song are just one component of the finished product, and honestly a pretty minor one at that.
I found a royalty free version of the song on the internet, and then processed it in Audacity to strip away the lyrics. I then exported the file as an MP3 and uploaded it onto my SoundCloud account. The end result sounds really cool.
Can you guess my favorite song?
Using Adobe Audition I lifted as much of the vocals I could from this classic song.
For my last audio assignment I decided to do the Your Favorite Song Assignment. You had to choose your favorite song and then remove the lyrics and upload it to soundcloud and see if anyone can guess what your favorite song is. I thought this would be fun to see if anyone can figure out the song. I tried to choose one of the easier ones as far as my favorites. I choose the song I choose because when my boyfriend and I began dating this particular song would come on every time we got in the car together, went out to eat, were in a store, it just followed us so it became our song.
In Order to create this song I used the original music video from youtube, then googled a youtube converter to transfer the video into an mp3 file. Once I did that I opened Audacity and imported the song, in order to remove the lyrics I clicked the effects tab and hit vocal remover and then that took out the lyrics. After that I exported the project and saved it and then uploaded it to soundcloud in order to make the link for you to hear the song.
Alrighty, this was a bit more complicated than I expected it to be but I followed these directions from audacity’s site very closely

Anyway I decided to throw this back to seventh grade because I absolutely adore everything about this song, even today. The instrumentality and ethereal feel really gets to me. I cut up to 30 seconds alone and then is the result. Hope you like it.

I made this based on the assignment found here (http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/favorite-song/).
The assignment wanted us to take one of our favorite song’s and remove the lyrics, while trimming it down to around 30 seconds or so. I find a lot of songs sound odd to me without lyrics, however “kids with guns” by Gorillaz is pretty good without lyrics as it just becomes a very relaxed beat.
