When someone has changed a project they own or part of (added a file, deleted a file, made changes to settings),

When someone follows you

After uploading a audio clip generate waveform. The rails application will have to run a few steps in the background:

1. Detect if the file is audio
2. If file is not a wave file convert to wave with ffmpeg:
   ffmpeg -i "/path/to/source/file.mp3" -f wav "/path/to/output/file.wav"
3. Generate waveform with ruby gem "waveform":
   waveform song.wav waveform.png (width and height can be specified)
4. Take waveform image and update AudioFile object with image using paperclip attachment
   image.file = File.open("/path_to_images/image_name.png") #file attribute is paperclip field
   image.save

These will be lengthy operations so it will have to be done as cron job or a ruby background process. A flag can be used in database for status. Then displayed to user while processing.

When user subscribes to a project allow notifications by email. This will happen when a change has been made to the the project.

This is for creative/technical challenges, they can be for fun or for prize. The purpose of this project type is to purpose some crazy musical idea and let people compete or show what they created.

if the sound is a synth patch, midi sequence, max device or other sound file that can't be played by audio player. Allow the user to upload a preview file. The preview file will be an audio file that demos that patch, or potentially how to use it.
