We are coming closer to the release. Still a long todo-list, but I see light. While developing the last months, I sometimes completely forgot, what we are actually building. This morning I decided to play around for half an hour to test the usability, sounding and performance. Despite the new complex features like the sequencer … Continue reading “Audiotool 1.0 (sound preview)”

We were not sure if this ever gonna work. In about 4 days we ported more than 30.000 lines code of a Java Vorbis Encoder to AS3. We came across several issues when AS3 code is behaving completely different from Java code. Debugging code, you cannot understand is a pain in the ass! However, we … Continue reading “First AudioTool live recorded, Vorbis encoded session”

Over the last months I was watching myself surfing to my own blog hoping that I have written something new. I have not. The last months were filled with a lot of work in serving new technologies. Joa did quite a job on moving Audiotool to various platforms and there was not much time for … Continue reading “Officially Temporary Closed”

Nur noch wenige Tage bis zur Flashforum Konferenz in Köln. Es gibt auch noch einige freie Plätze in meinem deutschsprachigen Workshop Audio Code Clash. Ausserdem sponsert Audiotool wieder eine erstklassige Party in neuer Location. Lasst euch das nicht entgehen. Ich freue mich drauf.

ToneMatrix amazing ride still amazes me. Every day I receive a lot of comments and emails and I really appreciate the feedback. But listen: In Audiotool 1.0 (Public on Thursday!) you can also control the Pulverisateur (our new synthesizer) with the simple user-interface from the ToneMatrix. It is fun!

Happy new year everybody! This will be a big year for me and the Audiotool team.

We also expect to update the application in a more frequent manner 2010 since we are safe on … Continue reading “ZwanzigZehn – TwentyTen”

Intro According to the posts from Joa Ebert and Nicolas Cannasse I put my personal opinion on stack. Starting with Flash4 I see the long run of Actionscript for 10 years. It became truly a serious language since then. Back at the time, where no type-safe programming was possible and Actionscript errors were caught silently … Continue reading “AS3 Failure?”

Catchy title, worth to consider. While working on the AudioTool, we are continuously searching for better workflows. Joa Ebert has written two plugins for Eclipse that helps us a lot to deal with such a huge project. To make it clear: I don’t love Eclipse. It is still a love-hate relationship and I am often … Continue reading “Eclipse plugins you need”

At FITC Amsterdam I demoed my first and fairly simple implementation of a Karplus-Strong implementation. Together with KP, we were able to enhance it to sound more like a real guitar. I think, the result is already quite impressive, considering spending just a few hours. At some point I cannot hear a difference to a … Continue reading “Karplus-Strong Algorithm”

Still in Amsterdam, but enough time for my flight back to Germany to post the source codes from my session. Good conference! But what is up in Amsterdam at night? Ralph Hauwert did everything yesterday to get us in another location after the official FITC party was closed. However we messed up in different directions, … Continue reading “FITC Amsterdam Source Codes”

Flash on Tap is rescheduled on next year. However the powerflasher guys let me fly to Boston for their FDT World Roadshow Prelude. So after canceling the actual conference in the last minute a new conference is born in no time. I am pretty sure, it will turn out best. Welcome to the FDT World … Continue reading “Flash on Tap postponed – Still coming to Boston for FDT Roadshow”

Yesterday, I played again with oscillating particles in audible range. I introduced a very basic version on some conferences. I’ve embedded the system in the Hobnox AudioTool environment to add some effects. Well, this is certainly weird but interesting sound design. I like it. Headphones required. There is a lot of stuff going on which … Continue reading “Audio Physics”

Great news from the Powerflasher guys. They finally implemented Vector support in my favorite AS3 editor FDT (beta version)! The class Vector is similar to Array, but type-save. Now it’s time to bring the new performance boost to our AudioTool and check out the new Graphics API. A big thank to the FDT team! You … Continue reading “FDT supports Flash10 Vector class”

I am back from FITC, a great conference first time organized in Amsterdam. Thanks for all the feedback regarding our new audio application. I think you all get the point, that we are very serious about doing a reasonable online music software with Flash. So everyone who was lucky to get one of the t-shirts: … Continue reading “Adobe – Make some noise!”

After lots of crashes and frailties, I got today the solution for an audio-cycle-buffer (2047 samples). That means, it is possible to synthesize custom sounds and effects nearly in runtime (delay about 47ms). I have no *BIG* example here right now. Just the first running engine. It has a simple SWF embedded, where an empty … Continue reading “AS3 – AudioCycleBuffer”
