Correct, you would have to use Intel. The dylib file should be able to be used by itself without a lengthy folder structure, but it depends very significantly on how you build it.

MIDI or OSC would really be the best. That way you could map each folder to a button (virtual or physical).
The cheapest way to get started would be to get TouchOSC for your phone or tablet.
If you want physical buttons then you could get any MIDI device that has a bunch of buttons.

Re: Upgraded Mac, but performance the same?
If you are playing back videos from Google Drive, etc., then that could certainly cause the slowdown.

Re: Upgraded Mac, but performance the same?
Exporting movies is highly dependent on the write speed of the drive. If the new drive isn't much faster, you won't see a big difference.

Re: Logic Pro tracks as audio input
Macs have built-in MIDI routing via the IAC driver. You can enable it in the "Audio MIDI Setup" utility.

I think these are very nice. The only thing I don't like is the swirl effect in the first one because it only affects some notes but not all.

This is really nice Sadler. You're getting quite good not just at the visuals themselves but at the overall process of making a video that keeps being interesting for several minutes.

Re: Using Mouse Scroll Wheel to edit boxed parameters
The specific reason that a keypress is necessary is that if you are using the mousewheel to scroll up and down in the entire window, like you might do on a web page, and then the mouse cursor happens to encounter a parameter as the window scrolls beneath it, the scrolling will get stuck in that para...

Re: Magic takes about 5 minutes to load
Does it really take 5 minutes or is that an exaggeration?
It could be that you have a lot of plugins to scan; not sure.
For audio files, make sure you haven't selected the option that loads them into memory.

Re: Can't play audio files inside Magic
No, that's not correct. You don't have to do it every time you start a new project. Selecting the "Close" option will permanently close the input device, until you select a new one. Also, you don't need to select anything in the drop-downs. The drop downs are for input only. No input confi...

Why does that device present itself as an aggregate as opposed to just a normal device?

Re: Beat triggers!
It's similar to this tutorial: https://magicmusicvisuals.com/forums/vi ... ?f=3&t=986
The only difference is that your source would be audio, not MIDI. But you would still use Trigger (.5) and Wrap (2).

Re: Can't play audio files inside Magic
Did you try the "Close Input Device" option? Sometimes there is a conflict between input and output.
Also I'm not sure why you can't simply select your device as the main system output in System Preferences?

If you'd taken just a few seconds to look at the forums, you'd see that a Beta was released about a month ago: https://magicmusicvisuals.com/forums/vi ... f=6&t=2943
We are also actively working on version 3.
