Creating Software

[Lockwood]

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with tips or anything like that on this... I wanna create some software kind of similar to power tab or guitar pro but not, lol. like... what i wanna do is make REAL guitar recordings and have them placed on a 6-piece trackboard kind of like a fretboard, and they would be real guitar wave files, very very small files though because i would time it on one second and split that into 1/2 then that into 1/4 and into 1/8 and so on, you know? i think it would work i just need to frustrate myself with this software creation crap, it would be funny though if this actually happened i want to call it "Music Maid"... lol. so i'm just wondering if there is a way to make a program quite similar to one of the Midi guitar tab things but switch the Midi with Wave and have the Wave files be real.
Tell me what you all think.

Hey everyone,Tell me what you all think.

I'd think it will be extremely hard. I think you need to learn how to program software with code and stuff. I am at the moment just teaching myself the basics of HTML, and setting up a website for my music project and that is complicated enough. I'd say programming software would be much more complicated. If you're serious about it you should probably do a course at tafe or college or something. Or search the internet for guides and things, I think there is software out there for actually creating software :stoned:

it would probly take you ages to make and Guitar Pro and Powertabs probly had 3 or 4 people doing the software code

Forget it... unless you're good in software development AND mathematical analysis. Sound processing involves a lot of math.

Other than self gratification or learning, I don't realy see a reason why you would start such an endeavor.
