DTAB V1.05 Free Update
Dtab V1.05 will bring us full circle with DTAB development, you see DTAB is now 20 years old!
So we've decided to release the product for free to drum tab community, to do this means making various
changes to the product code base, namely in how it's key system was integrated for registered users.
Removing that will make the functionality of the previous retail V1.04 release available to everybody.
It's hard for me to even believe, that Dtab was born 20 years ago from conversation on the
long since defunct DrumTalk forums.
I was looking for software to tap out drum patterns and produce Drum Tab.
Which was important around the turn the millennium, given dial up internet access was still widely in use.
So transcriptions needed to be small for web distribution. For me, I wasn't
that interested in charting entire songs, just exercises for my drum tuition site, which originally I'd
started for my local drum students, but quickly grew way beyond what I could cope with.
Now since I couldn't find any pre-existing automated tabbing software, I wrote DTAB primarily for me.
When Will It Be Released ?
We're not sure at this point, as I'm sure it comes as no surprise, that a 20 year old program
is written in a 20 year old programming language, called VisualBASIC6 with a small amount of C/C++
This is an issue, as support for the legacy languages isn't as good at it used to be, in particular
compatibility with modern Windows releases. Which just means having to develop the remaining
changes on a legacy Windows system.
Development issues and my own stupid health problem aside, I'd be hoping to get V1.05
by the end of January 2019, but that didn't happen. So the best I can say at this
point is that we're hoping for a end of February release.
