New DS106 Radio Tricks

I got tired of fiddling with hacks to try to get my Mac to share system audio with recording and streaming apps, so I bit the bullet and bought the Audio Hijack software today. I’m pleased. It does everything I hoped for. It records the audio from any application on my computer, even just the system audio. So I can snag bits of audio from movies, Zoom calls, whatever. Best of all, it can talk to the DS106 Radio server and so I have a new and more versatile app for broadcasting to my favorite internet radio station.

I’m working on some bumpers and bits for tomorrow’s “Marathong” radio show in celebration of 10 years of DS 106 radio. I only have 2 students so I decided to provide extra assistance this time. I’ve been working on making a few bumpers to throw into the mix.

I learned to make a robot voice using Adobe Audition.

I also recorded some sound effects from the Internet and manipulated them in Audition. I think they turned out pretty cool.
