dominicgross Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Hey, Im looking for some software that can do visualization (windows media type stuff) from an external input (i.e. mixer input). The idea is that the visualizations (swirly pics) can be triggered by the bass beat from the live sound, kinda like what media player does when playing a song. Does anyone know of any software capable of doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryson Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 All sorts of that kind of nonsense here. I've used a few from that site. I really like Vjamm (in fact, have the full version) but that requires an "operator." There's another one that's really good...but I'll have to wait until I get into work tomorrow as I can't remember the name of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben... Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Get Winamp 2.91 from here:http://classic.winamp.com/ Get the line-in plugin here:http://home.hccnet.nl/th.v.d.gronde/dev/li...nWA2/index.html(Direct link to linein installer) Install your Visulisation of choice (a couple come with winamp, a vaast selection can be found here: http://classic.winamp.com/plugins/, many of which are of professional quality) Run Winamp Either press Ctrl+L, or right click, and choose Play | Location... Type: linein:// Click play Start the visualisation If nothing happens, check that the linein isn't muted in the windows volume control panel Absolutely rock solid, when I've used it. If you're feeling brave, you can also get some DSP plugins and do real-time effects on the cheap :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 for winamp, I have heard that geiss is are some of the best, winamp is a good effective and cheap way of doing vis', but I can find no way of actually controlling the colours and shapes etc... ...anyone got ne idea's? (oh by the way you will need the line-in plugin 1.6, dunno if it comes built in with 2.91 though, I am running an older version which is still good). and I am having difficulty finding stock footage for stage vis effects, we need them for producitons etc at our school, I have been put in charge of that, so if anyone can help me on the stock footage front, give me links etc, where I can download it, (for free, emphasis on FREE) I shall be very much grateful. thanks P.S. for winamp 2.91 you can get a DSP stacker which allows you to use more than one dsp at a time, I use a 32channel GEQ and compressor/processor on mine, I know winamp isnt professional nor recommended for live sound editing etc... but when you have no other means of doing it, eg having aux sends on a desk to comp and GEQ modules, the winamp way of thru line in, then line out to amp is the next best thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryson Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Geiss - that's the one. It can have a nasty habit of crashing the PC on exit, though. (Or at least my PC) So watch out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I find its the 403 version that does that with mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben... Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 This is my current favourite winamp vis plugin; Rabid Hamster 2http://r2.rabidhamster.org/ Looks extremely good, and doesn't crash (on me, anyway) And Winamp's built in "visualisation studio" is pretty good, and you can download a lot of different designs for it, or make your own.

Locksmith Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Hi,I'm currently using Winamp v5.5 with MilkDrop v1.03 visualisations. They are completely reconfigurable and allow you to add messages and images to the screen. It allows multi-monitor support too. I am able to add and change messages on my laptop while the projectors and tv screens around the building are displaying the visuals and messages. I can highly recommend it. BTW Watch out. Some of the visualisations and other plug-ins for Winamp are riddled with AdWare. Anything by WildTangent for a start. cheersDave J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3guk Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Guys, Not sure if such a thing is avalible, but I am looking for a piece of software that will take an audio input. And produce a visulisation for a projector. Much like the ones on winamp as I would love to have it playing behind the bands. If possible I would also like to add in pictures of the bands to be crossfaded in, I know this is probs asking too much and hence just some visulizations software would be great !! Jim Moderation : near-identical new topic merged with existing one. Please don't start a new topic when there are several others already running which would serve the purpose equally well. The search function is there for a reason - please use it. This is the second time in two days that we've had to do this for topics started by this member, and we're not impressed by that.

Summary - you've answered your own question. Winamp with the Linein:: plugin will do what you want. Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3guk Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I didnt know winamp was capable of doing visuals on line in ?? Is there a way that I can mix in pictures or is that not possible ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukew Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Yeah there is using R4 you can mix in pictures or text via the web interface and its a winamp plugin free demo download as well. http://www.rabidhamster.org/R4/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Pearce Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Or a piece of software called G Force, if you buy the upgrade (IIRC $30) it has a line in. It is highly configurable, and can run scripts, for instance to show a logo. You can manipulate it in real time by key presses too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
