Magic Music Visuals

Nothing, even your big green screen, will be good enough. Keying is hard. If you have Kinect, you can use the person id to generate a mask. Nvidia broadcast works well but only for one webcam. There are plenty of background removal systems, e.g. modnet but not real-time and trickier set up. You don...

Hi, i know that this kind of topic has probably already discussed BUT i wonder if someone knows about some third party plugin/fx for Magic that allows You to remove the background (or apply a Green Screen effect) to a Video Capture device input in MMV. I use to send the output of the Webcam filming ...

Are you actually using the MIDI Clock specification, which is a series of beats? Or are you using a different MIDI message with the BPM as a number? Hi, Thank You for answering ... I Actually send standard MIDI CLOCK from Ableton To Magic via Ethernet Cable and rtp MIDI ... One of the MIDI track in...

Hi everyone !!! I drive MMV (Performer Edition, Update to V 2.31) running on a gaming notebook by a track on ABleton Live (running to a second notebook, of course) ... Ableton's Track sends many MIDI Commands (changing scenes, modifying effects parameters, etc) and also MIDI CLOCK ... I use MIDI CLO...

Once again, Hi everybody :D i just WOKE UP after a long period of "sleeping" and i'd like to start performing live, as i already wrote in my previous post about Wireless MIDI ... Now i have another fast question : DID anyone already try Windows 11 with Magic ? I'm going to update the OS of...

Always try to avoid wireless on stage. Too much interference and unreliability. MIDI cables or wired ethernet are the best options. Yes, i'm convincing myself that You're right ... Wireless is always a "challenge", and we all need to feel safe on stage ;) !!! Ethernet sounds very good and...

If both computers have an RJ45 socket and are fairly modern, you can just connect them with one (cat5 or better) network cable. If you need to to be wireless just take a wireless router with you and have both computer connect to it. Alternatively you could create a wifi hotspot with a mobile phone....

Hi everyone, i think that this topic hasn't yet been discussed : otherwise, Sorry for repeating BUT i'm preparing the live show with my band (actually, a trio) : we have TWO notebooks on stage, the first one running ABleton Live (all the musicians in this forum know what 'm talking about) and the se...

HI everybody, i purchased Magic ( Perfomer edition ) a couple of Years Ago and i'm wondering if there is a way to send the magic window (full screen mode, of course) to an external holographic projector (via HDMI, i suppose) instead of using a "conventional" projector with a screen, etc .....

The thing about network cables is that they can be run over very long distances. Something like 100 meters / 300 feet. A MIDI cable will have problems at that distance unless you use a repeater or some intermediary device. Plus I think network cable is less expensive. Once more, thank You for Your ...

rtpMidi is superior in terms of timing (with no other network traffic) and superior in terms of the density of data that can be carried. MIDI limits you to 31 KBaud. And the above point about cable lengths is indeed correct, we often used to use cat5e to carry even video data at large shows (from a...

Long cables, particuarly network cables, are the best solution. Never rely on Wi-Fi for a performance; it's too unreliable and unpredictable. Thank You for Your reply ;) ... Yes, You're absolutely right ... i will resign myself to using a long MIDI cable BUT I will also read up on the solution base...

Hi everyone ... i purchased Magic Music (PErformer edition) a couple of years ago, i updated my copy to the latest version/release and noy i'm finally preparing a live musical show ... I'm planning to use TWO computers : the first one is running Ableton Live and one of its MIDI track will send notes...

Well, I use an Asus GL702VM and it handles all the stuff you're talking about well. Something like that is going to cost at least £1000/ Euro, but you need something similar once you start running multiple 3d shaders with effects and video. There's loads of choice at that price point, obviously, so...

Hi Everybody ... I purchased Magic Music Visuals (Performer edition) some months ago and i'm starting to prepare a live show ... Since i'm a musician, i'll use two notebooks on stage (plus some hardware synthesizers, devices, etc ...) : the first notebook runs Ableton Live (i guess that many of You ...

The problem with the Mix modules is that they turn off their inputs, which is why the playback gets desynchronized. What you need to do is have all the Video modules playing all the time, and then adjust the color or transparency of each one. For example: VideoFile --> Transparency \ VideoFile --> ...

Hi, i'm brand new member of this forum so i'm sorry if this question is about a topic that's already been discussed … I recently purchased the performer edition od MMV and i planned to use it for my Live Performances, probably using a MIDI track of Ableton Live (running to a second Laptop) to send c...
