(loading time is ridonkulous!)
I, along probably a lot of others, would of loved to make changes to my final, such as better audio quality, smaller files, getting files to play smoother and not sound really jumpy.. etc, but oh well! I have definately learned alot about coding, but clearly have alot more to learn and grasp. This project was fun and challenging, giving us alot of freedom to experiment and create something nice.
The idea of my sketch is that there are 6 different instrument sounds to choose from, each with a small little interface in which I tried to design to reflect the feel and sound of. Given more time, I would probably have liked to added something more, something more interactive, such as maybe a backing loop track, giving the user something to play to. The presentations really helped me, and I was quite relieved when I got some positive feedback from Ben.
This sketch took a lot of code. Now I mean a lot of code, and there is most likely a shorter method I could have taken, resulting in minimal lines of code, but I have definately learnt from that. Not only is there alot of code, but each note of each instrument track was recorded/created individually. Thats around 200 audio files! Yikes!
If you'd go back and see my progress, I changed my idea from just one sound with different EQ frequencies to 6 different sounds. I realised that there was very little to no point in the differentiating frequencies, and thought that my sketch would benefit much more from a set of varying sounds/instruments.
I thoroughly enjoyed this project and the challenge and inspiration it gave me.
I would also like to thank Ben, Angela, Luke, and Julian for all the help they gave.
