The great thing about media files (sound, movies) once they have been imported into a RuvRev stack is that they are hard to steal for other purposes. The only problem is that, as has been pointed out here, they are nt as easy to control as externally referenced media files. --------------------------------------------------------------- The reason I would like to see the ability to manipulate sounds inside RunRev as they once were in HyperCard is that it would allow users to pump out music at a 'cheaper' hit than either externally reffed files or imported media; and with almost zero latency. I do admit that some of the 'cr*p' (c.f. the website I reffed in an earlier posting) pumped out in this way is/was something akin to doorbell jingles: however, some of it is/was almost up to the standard of cheap Hong Kong synthesizers :) Obviously, everything comes at a price, and the ability to pop out this type of music, with zero latency (and avoid the 'clicky-click- click' disease often exhibited by end-users with short attention spans) comes at the price of not producing stuff that sounds like the Hradetsky organ in St. Salvator's chapel at St. Andrews http://www.panoramio.com/photo/8421232 http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~adweb/3sup_artmus.html but, hey, I'm not an organ player of international repute; and, I doubt very much that many Runtime Revolution programmers are: the hours of practise needed to get to that sort of standard must be far more than those needed to become a fine RR programmer! sincerely, Richmond Mathewson. ____________________________________________________________ A Thorn in the flesh is better than a failed Systems Development Life Cycle. ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
