CLAMP: online mp3 players

tonight I just finnished creating the first CLAMP audio demo. Under 2 minutes long, the demo utilizes the following applications:

Renoise
Jack
Hydrogen
Aeolus
Zynnsubaddfx
Hexter
Nekobee
Audacity

currently, Im trying to figure out how to get an online mp3 player up and running to play demos. so far, this player seem sot eb my best bet, but there are a few others that I'm going to ry. I have no idea how to use this, but it seems fairly well documented. I'll be uploading the player to my wikispaces account, and I just hope that I will have enough space to hold all the files I need to hold.

Also, stay tuned for some screenshots I took while making the demo. We love screenshots.

CLAMP: lit review rough draft

Working on my lit review right now in class. A second draft to be more specific. The literature review is a brief overview of the sources I've read so far. The rough draft can be viewed publically via google docs at this link.

Draft 2 will be coming soon! I gotta go!

Bibliography is up!

Thank goodness for bibme.org

I'm able to keep a database of my entire bibliography, which will be organized and formatted automatically. And its all online.

On another note, I've been invited to a place called dropbox, which seems to be a free online FTP tool which can sync really well to your computer.

A new possible direction: I want to be able to distribute not only my project, but the research for that project. All phone conversations, emails, websites, files, and maybe even hard copys of books all will be easily downloaded in one large zip file.

Zebra Project is coming out with a soon in a few weeks called "what could be." It will be available for download at my reverbnation website: www.reverbnation.com/thezebraproject.

Also made the first few seconds of my first CLAMP audio snippet, which so far features Renoise and Zynnaddsubfx, two pieces of software Im familiar with. You gotta start somewhere right?

Banana

So I realize that some people may find this blog a little hard to understand. CLAMP hopes to be understandable by everyone at some level, but you won't find that here in this blog. Instead, check out my glossary page at this link.


So what exactly is the point of this post? Well, consider this a break from the techy talk. Instead of boring geeky rants, I give you this banana:



Enjoy, Kate.

Aeolus

Aeolus is a pipe-organ emulator for GNU linux. I had rediscovered today, and installed it problem free through synaptic. The trouble I had always had with Aeolus was the fact that could not get it to produce any sound. However, today I really messed with some controls and did some total experimentation, and whatdyaknow I got some really nifty sounds! Is this going on the list? It sure is.


PS: Random idea at 3pm: remember to make screenshots. Lots of screenshots. And remember to take notes on how hard it was to install software.

PPS: Ingen and Galan will be officially taken off the list.

Didn't install audacity

Of all the software to forget to install, I missed audacity, one of the first pieces of software to come to mind for me when I think of Linux audio software... DUH!

COOL IDEA AT 1 AM: make a folder with little clips of cool sounds i want to emulate. :D
