Party in the Spaceship

Opposites AttractDevelop your own song utilizing the two songs from separate genres. This assignment will be complete using Audacity or a similar audio editing software. An example of a remix would be the utilization a classical song and a pop song in your remix.

For this assignment I chose to do a song called Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus and a song called Let’s Talk About Spaceships by Say Hi To Your Mom.  I wanted to use two different genres, but a song that almost went together.  In the song Let’s Talk About Spaceships I ended the song with the singer saying “let’s talk about spaceships, except me and you okay?” at this point I thought it would be good to start with Party in the USA and having Miley Cyrus start talking about the Los Angeles experience.  I felt that it went together because the first clip wanted to talk about something else, and the second song starts talking about something else. It was really hard to make it flow together because the genres were just so different and one song was more mellow while the other one is so upbeat.  I used audacity to trim the songs and change the oder that I wanted each clip to play.

Spaceships

Make your own ringtone was the assignment I chose to do for this week audio assignments.  It wasn’t as easy as I thought it was going to be.  It was really difficult picking the exact moment of the song to have a nice introduction and ending to it.  Since I couldn’t find a nice break in the song to end it the way I wanted.. I did a little research and found out how to delete vocals from a song on audacity here.  The tutorial was really helpful, and it allowed me to delete the vocals from the last part of the song I used as my ring tone and it just ended with instrumental music. I also had to mess around with the effects of the song and found that fading in the beginning, and fading out the ending was very beneficial to the end result.  It was also very important to me to have a short ring tone because my phone is attached to my hand, so I answer it almost to quickly.

I chose Let’s Talk about Spaceships by Say Hi To Your Mom.  I think this song is so cute and simple, and I actually downloaded the file into my phone and it is now my ringtone! :) Gooodbyeeee lame iPhone standard ring tone, Helloooooo amazingness.
