“Flash Bang”: upcoming talk on Flash audio synthesis

May 25, 2008 on 6:01 am | In Flex, Music | 2 Comments

This Wednesday evening (5/28), I am giving a talk on bleeding-edge Flash audio and music synthesis at the Boston Flash Platform Users Group . Jeez Louise, I must be about the worst self-publicist ever… I’ve been so busy that I forgot to blog my own speaking event. Anyway, the meeting is at the NEIA Annex building, 303 Boylston Street, Brookline MA at 7 pm.

I think this will be a fun one — my computer will be making a lot of noise and playing some tunes. Some of the highlights include:

  • The strange and scary things you have to do to synthesize audio in Flash 9
  • The big audio improvements in Flash 10 (code and demos will be shown!)
  • Architectural approaches to dealing with latency and synchronization
  • Adding simulated sound to a physics engine
  • The brave new world of Flash applications for creating music, not just playing it back

Hope you can make it!

  2. Ths slides for this talk are now posted at this location. Sorry, I meant to do that a while ago and got distracted! By the way, I don’t have source code that I am free to post for all the examples from the talk but I do intend to put some of the Flash 10 apps online soon.
