Audio Assignments

Modifying an original song without outside sounds

For this assignment you want to choose a song, and using just itself and editing tools such as pitch change, and bass boost, change the song to have a unique sound or feel. Some edits used to do this could be bass boost, pitch changes, play speed changes, reverberations, echos, fade in/out, and overlays of the song.

Instrumental VS Vocals

Find a instrumental and combine with a vocal acapella. 

Music Mashup

Pick any two songs and combine them to make one song. Point out the differences between the two songs. Examples: gender singers, high vs. low voice, changes in volume, instrumentation etc.

Combining Covers

I think it’s interesting to look at how the vocal and instrumental composotion changes the emotion of a song. For this assignment find a cover of a song and combine it with the original version of the song to create a new/remixed version of the song. After you’ve finshed remixing your version, listen to it and see what kind of emotion it now makes you feel. To complete the assignment, I chose to take Don’t Forget Me by Harry Nilsson and combined it with Hamilton Leithauser’s (The Walkmen) cover of this song.

Covers by different Artists- Same song

I have used Youtube Doubler as my source to create a mashup. The song is called “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing” by Aerosmith. The 2 videos are covered by 2 different artists; Venosa and Alyona. This is one of my favorite songs and I like listening to it with both male and femal version.

This assignment requires your personal interest on the type of music you enjoy to listen. Think of different types of beats in order to get influence in creating your own one. Focus on the best of the song or the mix, in order to create something incredible. Have fun!
