I recorded myself playing the mouse on the Tank Drum and at the same time I had the Drum Machine playing one of my simple beats. I used the free recording app called Audacity to record with. It's a 2 minute song called, "Be Happy.mp3". Check it out. Smile

Thanks very much for making these 2 apps!

Hey, that's cool @SierraKen!  Well you've done more with these programs than I have. I had started working of longer drum pattern capabiloity, but lost interest.  I also was planning to add bass loops.

While you were doing that with my programs, I've been playing with your tesla dancing coil program tonight, feeding it some of my mp3's.  That's a fun little visual display you made!   Here's a song I'm using with it now.  It's a little jazz composition I made in the early 90's when I was still in school living at home.  I had gone to a Miles Davis concert so this is very Miles influenced.  Used a Korg 01/w keyboard and a Tascam multitrack recorder.  All the instrument sounds here came from the Korg keyboard, except my trumpet.  I found those old mix tapes and have been re-mastering them with modern ipad audio tools, trying to make them sound modern, fresh and full, removing tape hiss,adding reverb & effects, and EQ, etc.  Was just beginning to write/arrange songs when I did this 30+ years ago!  

Feed this mp3 into your Tesla coil visualizer program, ihe little pops and drum hits looks kind of neat.

Wow that's a fantastic song Dav! I took a simple college recording class in 1991 or so, but never was able to record there. Thanks for giving it to me. I ran it through the Tesla Coil and it's pretty cool! Run my "Be Happy" through it. I just did and it's like watching water waves. lol

+1 @Dav and @SierraKen both nice recordings and Dav's really shows off wave patterns in Kens Tesla Coil !!!

I'd give +2 points to each of you for the collaboration as well, but I will leave that to @Pete Big Grin

Hey, thanks for the points guys.  Wish my credit score could raise that easy.  Cool

SierraKen, I had the same experience with the recording course I took first year of college.  They wouldn’t let students touch gear in the 1st course.
