Spooky Story!

-

 Happy Shocktober! For our second recording project this semester, we recorded scary stories to be aired on the college radio station for their Shocktober series! The spooky story I recorded was adapted from a post by Reddit user ErlendJ called The Writing on The Wall! The music track is called Suspense Scary Music composed and recorded by Oak Studios (https://youtu.be/tJkQs5xEhPU)

Recording a PSA!

-

I'm back in the game this fall with the first recording project of this semester! We started out pretty simple for this first project! We wrote and recorded a PSA to be aired on the college radio station! My PSA is a reminder to all students how to keep themselves and others safe this fall and that masks are required on campus at all times! I first found some royalty free background music to set the tone of the announcement, and used that music as the basis for my tone reading the announcement! After recording my own voice, I cut out some pauses and lined the clips up with where I thought they sounded good. I did some volume automation on the background music track so that the music would get quieter while my voice played. I finally added some EQ on my voice to make it sound more appealing! The music I used is called Good Times by Podington Bear! Take a listen and tell me what you think! PSA Audio

At-Home Voice Acting Audition Recording!

  This past weekend, I helped my boyfriend record a voice acting audition! We did the recording at our apartment so we had to do our best to make the recording sound good. We turned off the AC in the apartment and we actually turned off our refrigerator for a little while as well! Though we turned off everything we could, unfortunately there was still some kind of audible electrical hum in our recording. Thankfully, I was able EQ the frequency out of the recording without ruining his voice! Unfortunately, I can't link the audio for this project because I do not have permission from the writer of the script!

Sampling Project

-

Earlier this month, we began our sampling project in Music Technology II. In one part of this four part project, we headed into the studio to record samples of drum hits! In this portion of the project, our goal was to record multiple different kinds of drum hits on each piece of a drum set to have varying velocities of the hits of the drums. The reason why we wanted to do this is because we would be using these samples to program an empty Kong device in Reason. If you are using a MIDI controller on the Kong device, the pads on the controller detect how hard or soft the pad is hit. The hardness of the hit is the velocity we were talking about. So if we program different sounds for different velocities (the hardest hit being in the highest velocity range and the softest hit being in the lowest velocity range, etc.), then the sounds that we can make by playing a Kong device will be more accurate as to what playing an actual drum set would sound like!
