Now for a hard one.
I am writing a program called GrooveBlox. I created a menu and have a Track menu - where the user can add and delete tracks, like a sequencer program. Tracks are like layers and will be able to be moved around, added to, etc. The idea is to have rectangles (colored) that represent grooves. I want the user to be able to drag and drop the groove rectangles onto a track (they will SNAP in place) and build all kinds of grooves. I need to write our the flow diagram still, but I want to get started on it. The audio files are wave files and more than enough are done to create a product. Here is my question list (it will grow): How will I create the tracks - are they groups or are they substacks? How to add tracks to the main stack (track holder)? How to make the tracks SNAP into place, one beneath the other? How to move the various tracks above or below each other and therefore adjust the layers? How to scroll the track holder once there are too many tracks to fit on one screen? How to drag and drop the colored rectangles onto the tracks using SNAP (very important since the grooves are an exact size and loop precisely)? How to add the rectangles to the holding bin? How to assign the wave file to the colored rectangle? How to play all the tracks in sync with one another? How to adjust the panning with the panning slider? How to adjust the volume with the volume slider? How to create a looping function so you can hear the groove play over and over, and add/subtract/edit tracks while it is playing in sync? How to write a final wave file mixing all the tracks together. Is this the kind of program that requires a client-side database to keep things remembered? Anyone's help is appreciated.
