Thread: Interval Trainer 1.0 final release!!!

Well I finally did it. I finally managed to complete one of my side projects! Interval Trainer 1.0 is in the can and should show up at download.com within a week or so. Now to get the Alberta Design site done, sigh... Anyhow here's the final (freeware) release for anyone who'd like to use it, as well as a few screencaps for fun. Here's the description I used for my download.com submission:

Guitar players can increase their fretboard awareness and harmonic knowledge by using Interval Trainer 1.0 for a few minutes each day, and best of all it's 100% free! It is a visual guitar teaching tool based upon a popular guitar drill in use by guitar teachers all over the world. You see a guitar on the screen and you simply follow the notes as it teaches you to navigate the fretboard in an intervallic manner. Interval Trainer 1.0 features real time vocal narration, full support for left handed guitarists, top/bottom fretboard views, a professional quality "Quickstart" video tutorial, variable speed control, multiple skill levels, and much more! Master arpeggios, gain confidence, and turbocharge your fretboard knowledge with Interval Trainer 1.0 by Alberta Design.

(the installer includes an uninstaller and doesn't add anything at all to your system other than the program files and a couple shortcuts. Alberta Design is just my hobby site)

Ten golden thumbs for AutoPlay Media Studio 6.0, for without it I'd never be able to build software like this. I've got a few more dandies a-sittin' in the chute too, this is oooooonly the beginning. Keep your eyes peeled for a bass version of Interval Trainer 1.0 as well as "Golden Metronome", the world's most comprehensive and flashiest looking metronome. All built using AutoPlay Media Studio 6.0. Long live AMS 6.0!!!

Very nice and very usefull tool thx corey I think I'm gonna practice a little.

And also thanks to AMS 6.0

Hey that be cool like a frozen eskimo sitting in ice water drinking a Sonic Ocean Water slushie while singing Ice Cube tunes.

Dang, that *is* cool. [shiver]

Ah, well.. Niceee!

Way to go, Corey. REALLY nice app.

Thanks Yossi. I learned *a lot*, the next one will be just as good but with way cleaner scripting. My goal is to eventually release the source code for all my freeware apps but for this first one I'm just so terribly embarrassed by the scripting that I'm not sure I can bear to let anyone see it.

I have done a few Flash projects were the action script was just terrible. I since then have cleaned up my coding, some co-workers think I am insane the way I organize my work. Funny, they all like updating my Flash projects......hummmmm



FYI......
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash MX 2004\en\First Run\ActionsPanel\AsCodeHints.xml
Take a look at AsCodeHints.xml (Flash MX 2004)

*_fmt: TextFormat

You can customize them anyway you want.

Very nice trainer! Good job!

Nice evil laugh there at the end....

I know what you mean... But as long as it works, you know...

'number 1 son' is using your V1.0 - Corey and is already getting somewhere
because of it. Very Cool Job, Amigo and thanks for making it 'freely available'

..as for 'code creativity', it can be as unique as you are

Cool!!! That kid's going to rock.

He's happens to be a 'lefty'

Aha! I knew it was worth building that in! For some reason none of the fretboard learning programs I've seen seem to offer support for left handed guitarists and I've always regarded that as an outrage.

I haven't had a chance to sit down with my guitar and play with it yet, but I've run down through the app. Nice Job!

Corey Rocks!
