For those Aussie’s abroad at the moment and lamenting the demise of Channel 7’s “The Dream” during the Olympics, you’ll be happy to know JJJ have come to the rescue! Roy & HG are broadcasting a half hour wrap up of the days proceedings from their Golden Ring Show website.
I’ve exhausted You Tube’s collection of The Dream and Roy & HG so was pretty happy to find that JJJ have done the right thing and given rampaging Roy and HG an avenue to vent their frustrations with the officials and the dud Aussie teams at this years Games.
Take it away Bro’s!
Well at least it doesn’t allow me to tune my guitar using a microphone (as I was hoping the new features added to the Sound class might).
I’m currently away from my lovely Takamine acoustic guitar with built in tuner, and have a fairly dodgy classical to play with at the moment. As I don’t have my standalone guitar tuner either I started looking for applications for my phone that would allow me to tune the guitar. I found a few, but none seemed to actually do anything after installation, so I started wondering whether Flash 8, 9 or 10 might be able to do the job. I did find a reasonable flash tuner, but this didn’t make use of the microphone (like both my proper guitar tuners do). I then investigated the new Flash 10 player features only to be disappointed when I read the following (taken from kaourantin.net):
Unfortunately some features did not make it into Flash Player 10: Extracting audio data from a microphone and extracting audio from a NetStream object. We are aware that both features are highly desirable, but for various reasons it was not possible to make this happen in this release.
Adobe’s missed a good opportunity to integrate some very powerful audio capabilities into the Flash player… but I’m sure there’s a good reason for it… right?
So it’s back to tuning the good ‘ol fashion way I suppose!
