For my radio show bumper, I went for a vibe that has been living rent-free in my head since the start of the semester: Lofi. Lofi, or Lo-Fi, is ” low-fidelity ” music with low sound quality. It is often referred to as music containing audio imperfections that most sound editors consider errors. You may also have heard of it from the YouTube channel Lofi Girl. Popular with college students, the track provides 24/7 live streams of lo-fi hip-hop music alongside an animation of a Japanese studying and relaxing. She is great background noise and motion for those who need background stimulation to concentrate.

I started by recording my line on the computer. I then had to convert it to a WAV file because, for some reason, Audacity was being a pain about it. Then, I downloaded a free knockoff version of Lofi music from SoundCloud. Shoutout to Le Gang for letting me download their song, Magic. P.S. I am sorry that I called it a knockoff. After choosing the song’s best part, I added my audio file, and boom. My radio bumper for DS106 radio.
