Transcribing music from recordings can be difficult as I like to pause and replay segments over and over until I know exactly what is being played. This is not a feature of iTunes so I decided to build my own Mp3 player using Flex to make my life easier.
This player loads an Mp3, displays ID3 tags (artist and album) and then enables you to drag two pointers to highlight a particular section of the track to loop.
UPDATE: Download the newer version (now an AIR application) here.
The FLARToolKit is great and very easy to get up and running, thanks to the great demo from Saqoosha.
You can design your own image and generate a marker file here.
If you have a webcam you can download my marker image, then print it and have a go for yourself by visiting this page.
House of the Dead – Overkill Poster Creator has just launched.
This site is a ‘poster creator’ (or wallpaper) and enables anyone to design and layout their own poster using an array of incredible assets.
It was an enjoyable build and made all the more easier by the brilliant TransformManager classes availabe from Jack Doyle at http://blog.greensock.com/transformmanageras3/
Once you have added your images to the stage you can position on the stage, scale, rotate, change depths and add various colour filter effects (mono, reverse, silhouette) and also a halftone effect. Thanks to Chris Houston for the halftone effect who will blog about this here soon.
After you are happy with your creation and click ‘download’ a jpg is created for you to save. The assets used are amazing and great quality so you can get a wallpaper with dimensions of up to 1680×1050 that looks great.
