Making of Musicoacher
- claar 11y agoLink is http://www.musicoacher.com/ http://www.musicoacher.com/ Looks like a tool that shows you guitar chords with fingerings under YouTube videos. Cool part is that he's algorithmically determining the chords -- no manual entry. Very nice.
- wilkerlucios 11y agoactually, the entry is manual, and to be honest the current entry mode can be pretty tedious, but improved ways are on development.
- claar 11y agoSo entry is manual, but you have an algorithm to help you determine the chords?
- wilkerlucios 11y agoit's for the chord entry component, you inform the chord position (the frets that are going to be played at each string) and the algorithm will name this chord and compute which finger should go where (and also add bare chords when it fits).
- brucehauman 11y agoThanks for taking the time to write this. Really great stuff.
- adrianh 11y agoFor a more fleshed-out version of this product idea, see https://www.soundslice.com/completed/ https://www.soundslice.com/completed/
- wilkerlucios 11y agotha's cool, I did saw this site before but didn't notice they have a video annotation tool, just noticed the player, great thing I'll take a lot of ideas from there now :)
- adrianh 11y agoI'm the main guy who makes Soundslice. :) Yes, we launched the video annotation tool in 2012 and shifted focus to the sheet-music version in 2014. Our number one bit of feedback was: "Please add support for standard notation!" -- hence the shift. Here's a tech talk I gave about that original Soundslice version: http://37signals.com/talks/soundslice http://37signals.com/talks/soundslice
- wilkerlucios 11y agonice, thanks for sharing, it's on my list to watch later today
- kazinator 11y ago"coach" is already the correct noun for someone who coaches; no "er" is required. There is no such word(!), and no such word is necessary; it sounds like the spontaneous creation of a non-native English speaker (or a native one under four years old). (If "musicoach" is already taken as a name, that doesn't make "musicoacher" viable. Just like you wouldn't name your presentation software "Powerpointer".) Don't be a goofball(er?) when naming. --- ! oxforddictionaries.com does list "coacher" as an Australian word denoting "A docile cow or bullock used as a decoy to attract wild cattle."
- zesantos 11y agoalso: don't be a goofball(er?) when writing comments
- kazinator 11y agoI think that we can settle this with a friendly game of goofball.
- wilkerlucios 11y ago2 reasons 1 - yes, was an spontaneous word from a non-native English speaker (I'm brazilian) 2 - musicoach.com is not available Even not being tecnically correct I think most people will understand the meaning, good enough for a side project I think, names can always change right?
