TabTrax: Tab file converter/player and drum music editor

Instantly convert any drum tab to standard sheet music notation and playable MIDI music. Look, listen and learn from any tab, or create your own drum tracks with the best drum music editor, TabTrax!

Drummers can learn grooves, fills or whole songs from their favorite songs and artists by listening to drum tracks in isolation from the rest of the song, playing them back at any speed, looping on a measure, or overlaying an animated drum track synchronized to the original song (karaoke for drummers).

Guitarists and bassists can instantly create drum tracks to jam with from any song with a drum tab. No drumming or midi experience required, just download and play.

Composers can create original drum tracks or copy, paste and modify existing songs with the powerful, easy to use editor. TabTrax interfaces to most general midi synths and professional music production tools, such as Cubase, for studio quality sound and exports industry standard MIDI files.

TabTrax does not require a private format supporting only a hand full of songs. TabTrax reads ANY PLAIN TEXT DRUM TAB FILE. Choose from over 30,000 drum tabs available on the internet and version 2.0 will support the over 200,000 guitar, bass and drum tabs freely available today!

TabTrax is the ultimate drum teacher. For less than the cost of a 1 hour lesson, look, listen and learn the techniques of the world's greatest drummers. Better than a video or a book; TabTrax provides interactive playback and an infinite variety of songs and styles to learn from.

TabTrax is also the ultimate drum editor. Far easier to use and drummer friendly than other music editors that add drums as an after thought. TabTrax was developed by a drummer, for drummers.

Programming in Paradise

Learn C++ programming for Windows and Unix in Ko Phangan, Thailand

Learn C++ and MFC programming for Windows and UNIX, in the beautiful island paradise of Ko Phangan, Surat Thani, Thailand.

 

Two, 5 day, intensive, hands-on classes, will teach you everything you need to know to build a robust, commercial quality Windows application program in C++ using Microsoft’s Visual C++. This is not a web programming class! C++ is the world’s number one programming language for desktop application development, including operating systems, database, graphics and games.

 

Programming in paradise is taught by Steve Haigh, President and Chief Programmer of 2112design.com; creator of TabTrax, the world’s most popular drum music teaching software.

 

Class size is limited to 8 students. Students should already have a basic understanding of programming in C/C++ or similar  languages, such as Javascript, PHP or Java. The class is taught in English only. Each day includes class and assisted lab time plus a lunch break to enjoy island life.

 

Because of the small class size, every class can be “tuned” to accommodate each individual student’s needs and experience level. Unlike other classes that simply regurgitate a C++ textbook, this is a hands-on, interactive learning experience.

 

By the end of the class, each student will have created a significant, high quality, object oriented, fully functional, windows application from scratch.

 

Quality, low cost accommodation can be arranged for your stay. Certification and references will be given to graduating students.

 

Limited time FREE bonus offer. Optional one day class on the Saturday following the programming class: “Creating and running a successful e-business.” Learn how to attract customers to your web site, set up payment options for products and services, protect your intellectual property, and much more. Learn from someone who has actually done it, not just read about it in books!
