Create a ds106 radio bumper
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 310 views.
Now that we have a #ds106 radio up and running creating a 15 to 30 second bumper for the station. What is a bumper? It is a short recording that identifies the radio station with signature music or an expression that makes sure the listeners know what they are tuned into (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumper_(broadcasting)). So for ds106 it should certainly include "DS106 Radio" and some sort of message about the station with voice over music.

Jamming with Dave

Someone was kind enough to make a "David Lee Roth - Running with the Devil Isolated Vocal Track" (You can download it with right-click, Save Linked Content As. It may be slightly different depending on your OS & browser) We can't let that effort go to waste. Mix Diamond Dave's vocalizations with another audio track - music, interview, conversation, whatever - to make something new and amusing. There are a couple remixes of it out there already. Someone even made a soundboard out of it. What can you do with it? Do Dave proud.

The idea of this assignment is to take a speech, it can be political or not, and distort the audio making the speech giver say horrible, strange or funny things. A great software to use for this assignment would be Logic Pro which enables you to cut, chop and distort audio. A great example of this can be found on my website in which I took a speech given by President Donald Trump and cut and spliced it to make it seem odd and strange. This assignment should be fun and should create many unique and creative audio pieces. Staying ...
