Ha ha I have no idea when I’ll finish this project. Ikutkan aku nak siapkan in 2 weeks, but it doesn’t seem possible. Minggu ni satu test, minggu depan paper due (tak start pon lagi), and of course some other personal stuff that I have to take care of. heh heh.

Well, since aku dah kasi tau lagu ape aku tgh wat, here’s a preview.

 

And that’s the RSE sound of GP6. I’ll never go back to basic midi sound again.

Tak siap lagi pon. for one thing, part vocal line tu baru buat sket. GP6 is still buggy i’d say. Somehow sound piano note Bb (above middle C) and above tetiba volume rendah gile. Oh lagi satu preview ni part intro acoustic ngan goreng electric Sham punya version. The tab actually has both Sham and Joe punya version, so the user can select.

And aku blom buat part fill-in ending lagi. Not sure if I will, maybe.

I like programming a lot. I’m a mechanical engineer, but I’ve done some programming work. I love writing VBA programs for work. I’ve even won an award back in college for a project which involved programming microchips and designing my own digital circuit. Heh heh, bangga la tu. Not bad though for a mechanical engineer, not computer or electrical engineer. :D

Pabila Bean berasa bosan kat ofis, Bean buat program (yes, takde projek skrg, takde keje kat ofis). That’s the thing about me. I have to keep my brain working. I have to learn new stuff, create stuff, or engage in good conversations. I can’t just sit and do nothing.

So aku dapat idea. Bile record video, I’ll record so many takes. Bile nak edit video, it’s boring to find the correct video file that matches the processed audio. So I thought why not write a program that functions like the slates people use in making films, that thing yang sebelum director jerit “Action” tu. That way senang sket nak identify the correct clip. And since video aku selalu termasuk monitor aku, might as well use it for that purpose.

What it does is bile aku start record, it will show the clip number for a few seconds which will be recorded by the camera and edited out later.

The next improvement would be to figure out how to write a program that reads MIDI command. That way, bile aku tekan button record kat MIDI keyboard aku, SONAR akan record and the slate program automatically show the correct clip number. Better yet, hantar signal to the camera to record too. Ok that’s too ambitious…. or is it?

This is my first standalone windows program by the way.
