Animation & audio synchronization

By Wouter | Published: March 8, 2010
It’s not that easy to synchronize programmed animation and dynamic sound in Flash. To have something happen on screen at exactly the same time a sound starts to play. I thought about it a bit and came up with two different scenarios where audio and visuals need to be synchronized: The first is where a sound plays [...]

Augmented reality and sound

By Wouter | Published: February 19, 2010
Yes I know, it’s the hype of 2009 and we’re in 2010 now, but I haven’t seen anything yet where augmented reality is combined with sound. If you do know examples of augmented reality and audio, please leave a comment. I’d love to see what other people do with it. This is a small experiment I [...]

MP3 Wave Display 2

By Wouter | Published: January 17, 2010
Wave Display 2 is an improved version of the last one (in the previous post). A few things had to be rewritten in the code for waveform rendering, and there were some extra features I wanted to include to make the application a bit more interesting to use. The new features in this version: Audio playback. You [...]

MP3 Wave Display

By Wouter | Published: January 9, 2010
2010! A new year, a new decennium even! This year I want to be more consistent in publishing articles on this weblog. That’s my new year’s resolution.

Sine synthesizer with PureMVC

By admin | Published: July 20, 2009
The past weeks I’ve been learning PureMVC. It had been on my mind for some time, and now that a project (a pianoroll type MIDI editor) became too complicated and the lack of structure took the fun out of programming I figured it was time for a nice new clean framework.

Step sequencer / drum machine

By admin | Published: June 14, 2009
Here is a basic step sequencer for creating rhythms. The sounds it plays are small MP3 files. Short sound clips of drum noises, blips and plings. So it’s more a sample player than a drum synth. But the main thing is that it loads and plays rhythm patterns and that the patterns can easily be [...]

Slicer with waveform display

By admin | Published: May 10, 2009
This slicer works the same as the previous one. Only difference is that is uses eight slices instead of sixteen. The new stuff is in the interface: Waveforms to see what’s playing. And nicer to look at as well. To use this app you can click the buttons as before to select a slice to play, and [...]

A basic slicer

By admin | Published: May 8, 2009
This is it! The first one: A slicer. It loads and plays an MP3 file. But not only that. It divides the file in sixteen equal parts and you can change the order in which the parts are played. When it’s loaded the slicer plays all the parts in the right order. Part 1, 2, 3 and [...]
