A new toy on Darktrain.jp!
As part of my effort to make darktrain.jp more fun/interactive for the user, I have just put a "remixer" I made in Flash up on the "news" page. It`s a simple 8-channel where the user can remix "Dark and Long (Darktrain)".

It took about 2 months of studying and late nights at the computer to get it to where it is now, but it still has some problems with the samples triggering out of sync. I have scoured the web to try and find a solution to this, but after several tests on different computers, it appears to be a machine specific problem (Flash player version, amout of memory, CPU speed, etc...). Regardless, I`m still going to try and tweek it and see if I can fix the problem. If anyone here has any experience with the Flash "sound object" or with looping mutiple sounds in Flash using Action Script, any help would be greatly appreciated!

If the loops don`t sync right on your computer, try clicking the "Play" button a couple of times in succession. That almost always fixes the problem!

Also, I would like to thank Marshall (a.k.a. The Professor) for providing me with the much needed "synth pad" sample!

I would love to hear feedback about it. If it`s too troublesome to use, I will either have to rebuild it or take it down!

Matt

Matt, that is really awesome! I played around with it for a while, pretending I was Rick. It was perfectly in sync for me, but I have a pretty beefy computer.

Re: A new toy on Darktrain.jp!
Thank you all for the positive feedback! I`m just relieved that most of you guys can enjoy it without all problems I have encountered. Of course, I should mention that most of the PCs that I tested it on were older laptops at the different schools that I work at, and all of them are using IE 5.0!

Also, I wanted to mention that if you Shift-Click on any "pan" knob, it will autopan that channel (I borrowed this little trick from some open source action script I found)!
