Not only do we have an exclusive first demo of the 'get' software by one of the developers (see previous posting here) but Richard's finagling has produced a super prize for our world famous free lottery. Not only will some lucky person get to take away the latest CrumplePop goodie, but we'll all find out how to use it too!
See you Monday 5July - indicate your attendance to Richard in advance, and you'll be able to get in without detention in the holding cells.

July 2010 meeting of the wefcpug
Match, what match? Time to put away the Vuvuzelas (see previous!) and your Argentinian / Brazilian flags (you were supporting them all along, right?) and 'get' ready for another season finale wefcpug meeting.
‘get’ is a tool that searches video by the spoken word, phonetically and can then export any chosen results into FCP. It is extremely accurate and after being announced at NAB 2010 won a DV Black Diamond award for Best of Show. And - guess what - Adam Knight from AV3 software, developers of 'get' will be giving an exclusive demo of the product, currently emerging from beta.
Plus news and views from a world outside football.
Next week - Monday July 5th - BBC Bristol, 7pm.

Great minds think...differently
(You may want to argue about the great minds too).
Following our learned discourse on Monday night, on the desirability or otherwise of Vuvuzuelas, Nick reports a hot link to work done in the Centre for Digital Music, at QMC London - they helpfully include an audio plug in (not sure if it's AU or VST) to filter out the massed Vuvus.
By a strange coincidence, I've just spent/wasted half an hour generating the sound of massed Vuvus in Garageband, with the ultimate aim of hearing what the National Anthem would sound like. (If you could play more than the off-tuned Bb which QMC confirm is the note).
Annoyingly, no-one has yet produced a SoundFont of the Vuvuzela (I wait to be corrected), and it is unbelievably complicated (I remind myself) but possible to add extra synths and vocoders to Garageband. I am rapidly climbing the learning curve on .sf2 files, aka Soundfonts, plug-ins and components. I've even managed to find a way to output Midi....But, as Sherlock Holmes put it, the world is not ready for the end results, I fear. Think Kazoos.
(The original aim was to produce an electronic version of an un-tempered keyboard, but I got sidetracked from this grander project).
