Flash Site Drum Machine

For all you drummers out there that can't play your drums because your parents will rip your heads off (I know from experience), this site is pretty neat and addicting.  It is a Flash based site if you were wondering.

This site allows you to pretty much play the drums and create cool beats.  It has some demos and you can tweak some features around like tempo, volumes, and has some pretty cool effects.  Enjoy!

Valentine's Day...Just Missed It!

Valentine's Day just passed and I came across a tutorial that would've gotten me a date that night for sure!  I'm ok with it though...I think I'd much rather have done what I did and watched hockey all night while saving myself a hefty penny.  But nonetheless, for those who are interested for next year, here's a quick tutorial on how to mask a little "I love you" animation.

What I'm Learning

So we were just introduced with HYPE framework this semester.  Nothing I have ever used before and it seems pretty cool.   I've been fiddling with some of the coding from the site and for the most part it seems fun and it allows you to do some pretty neat things.

My favourite feature it has is the Sound Analyzer.  I posted a week or 2 ago some .png's from my Kill Bill assignment.  Since then, I've been tweaking the code and changing the song that Flash is reading to make some pretty cool things.  A lot of the time, the outcome looked like seizure inducing files but if you get the code just right, you'd be pleasantly surprised with pure awesomeness.

Animation

Last week I mentioned Flash animations not being as good as After Effects.  I just came across this.  I still stick by my word but this is super awesome!  I wish I had the patience to do something this tedious.

It's nothing but 2 minutes of complete fun.  Probably took hours upon hours to make but the outcome is fantastic and if you have the time then it was well worth it!
