dmoorcroft Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hi all, I'm looking at increasing the amount of projection / visualisations used in one of the venues I work at and have dabbled in using pre-made visualisations that react to an audio input (run through a PC with a line in) I'm now looking to develop this further and to animate logos to react to sound, for example, making a logo pulse in live reaction to bass - I need to achieve this by using a live audio input rather than any timecoding as it will be mostly running in conjuction with DJ sets. Does anybody know of any software that allows you to do such a thing or is it likely to be a more coding intensive exercise? Thanks in advance!

dbuckley Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 May be a bit wide of the mark, but ScreenMonkey and Winamp get on; Winamp can do pretty things in response to incoming music, and ScreenMonkey can put logos etc on top...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosxuk Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Winamp. You can use custom bmp and avi files in Winamp AVS which can then be layered into other effects (there's a wide range of blending modes in AVS to carry out keying). A Picture Renderer with a logo bmp and then a Roto Blitter effect added on will do the logo pumping to bass exactly and takes a couple of minutes to set up. If you aren't aware, you can open the line input in the Winamp playlist using the "url" linein:// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_h Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Take a look a Isadora from Troikatronics, it may take some playing with to get it to do what you want though. edit:SPAG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadpixel Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 If your any good at programming or even just that way inclined, have a look at VVVV http://vvvv.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepytom Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 VSXU can make some very complex stuff, if you can get your head round its slightly bonkers interface. http://www.vsxu.com/ it's opensource and a lot more modern than winamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmoorcroft Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Thanks for all the suggestions - much appreciated. I look forward to having a play with the various suggestions above when I get some free time / as a means of procrastination when I'm supposed to be doing something important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henny Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Note for Winamp To trigger off a mic or line in you need to tell it to play URL and use the URL. Linein:// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the kid Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I like Visual Jockey gold. The help forum is great, and there are a bunch of plugins to go with it of premade effects. You can have the image effected by sound but you can also manually change the scope they change. It also has an inbuilt keystone + cross fade effects etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revbobuk Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Soundspectrum's G-Force visualizer is worth a play, and gives spectacular results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
