I might be able to scrape together another 10p.
Time isn't something I have a huge amount of, either.
For now, I'll stick with the learning and write up what I find.
<snip>
use the source(s). read it. come to grips with it.
please don't expect
us to write white papers on software design for real time audio at the
same time as writing real time audio software without pay!
I have 10p you can have. But seriously, I take your point.
I was just wondering if anyone had written these things down.
I don't mind buying a book, if it comes with a recommendation from the people on this
list.
Although, if you *did* write this stuff down, I could buy a book *from* the people on this
list :)
Planet CCRMA is the closest thing i know of to this, but its for
RPM-based systems only, perhaps even just RH.
Oh, well.
- Articles for
developers and users
- FAQs that cover a whole host of apps
- Info on the current state of apps
- Pre-compiled packages that work together - something like demudi woul
d be good, but more as a work in progress system - something we could all use
to test software, interoperability, etc. in an environment that is (as much as
possible) what the end users will have.
- Tutorials, links, guidelines. Now, guidelines is a good idea!
- A big, all encompassing TODO list.
- A combined effort on documentation. I think a nice manual that cover
s a whole audio setup would be good.
all sounds good. i take it you have the funds and or the time to make
this happen? why don't you take an existing program and make it
do something
better, or something that it doesn't already do? your contribution
will be more valuable, you'll learn from the inside out rather than
outside in, and you still get to learn from mistakes (though they may
not be your own). rather than creating Yet Another Tracker, you'll
have done something that can be used by others (and yourself) very
quickly.
I think you're right. CheeseTracker wasn't a bad IT clone - I think I'll have
a
bash at adding a few features to that. Probably a good place to start. Anyone disagree?
Thanks
