In my parody, I decided to use an upbeat song so that I could use energetic lyrics, and so I chose Hot To Go by Chappell Roan. I also decided to use superficial lyrics about deciding what to eat for dinner so that people would immediately understand that the song was a parody. Using Adobe Audition, I edited the song to practice the basic skills I learned and make the song more fun.
By changing the volume at different points, I was able to moderate the volume of the parody and make certain points have more emphasis. I also decided to add a mild echo to the whole track, and add a larger echo to certain parts to both enhance chunks of the song and practice the skill I learned in the basics practice session. While recording, I struggled with keeping an even pitch, and I also forgot to turn on the 48V button, so most of my recording time was wasted, but now I’ll know in the future to always check it before panicking. Thanks to the parody song, I was able to both improve in my usage of Adobe Audition and knowledge of when to add effects, and create something new and interesting.
