For the last of my 8 stars for weeks 13 and 14 I chose the “10 Second Song Mashup”. This was difficult because with choosing five favorite songs or songs by a favorite artist you get caught up listening to the music. Clipping out two seconds can prove to be next to impossible. After listening to the five that I would pick from over and over, and over, and over again, I finally settled on what two second clips that I would use. I used Audacity to trim these portions, after merging the five sounds I uploaded the finished track to SoundCloud. I expect most will know the artist but I think the songs will be tricky to guess. Hell, two seconds of any song can be tricky for anyone to guess. Hope you enjoy!

In this assignment, we had to create a mashup of our favorite songs within 10 seconds and have people guess what they are. It was very easy to make this all I had to do was get the songs off of YouTube and download them to my computer. Then from there I just added them into Audacity, and then I kept parts of the song that when people listen to they would be able to understand what song it was. One part that was challenging was finding my favorite songs, I really had to think about it for a few minutes and decided what songs were really my favorite of all time.

The mashup consists of four songs, in about 1 to 2 second segments. I tried to take parts of the song that would be easily recognizable to anyone who listened. I feel like that most of the songs are pretty popular and it would be easy for listeners to figure out what songs they are. I chose some of my all time favorite songs. I never get tired of listening to these songs and they all bring back memories of when I first heard them and who I was with. Some of these songs I used right before I play basketball and some are used while I am walking to class or driving. But, no matter how much time passes by these are some of my all time favorite songs.

For this assignment, I used an app on my phone called iMashup to smash up two songs I had previously purchased on iTunes. Once that was done I cropped it down to 10 seconds and uploaded it to Sound Cloud via Audio Copy. I think that the songs will be easily identifiable but maybe being from different decades will pose a bit of a listening challenge.

Can you guess the Songs or Artists?

Four Songs in one track. The inspiration behind all the songs comes from my favorite genre of music, Country. I created the soundtrack using Audacity.

I took the four songs I wanted to use, trimmed them to roughly 4 seconds each, and then layered them into audacity. Next I uploaded the soundtrack to Sound Cloud. This part was very nerve racking because I was afraid it was not going to upload because I wasn’t using original songs. But luckily I had no issues. So hear it is. See if you can guess the songs.
