Magic Music Visuals

I had a prob with my HD vids only being shown at low res on YT....but after reading some posts about it...apparantly when you first upload they will show as low res...but 30 mins later they will be HD.
This probably isnt what you are talking about but here it is

I am no expert but I just got something similar to this working the other day....I used a virtual midi device called LoopBe1...which is free...then set whatever you use to play midi to use the LoopBe1 as the midi out device and Magic should see LoopBe1 as a midi input.

Thanks mate...yes video making is not what I am good at...I see what you mean about the clash in in styles and I totally agree.
I tend to get carried away as there are so many good shaders out there.
Again...thanks for your input.
Regards

I just found that by using loopbe1 virtual midi device that I can control Magic real time with an instrument track on my daw

What great fun

( sorry if I am a liitle slow in finding this...I am old and senile

I personally would find it useful if the shader and image modules had next/previous arrows for choosing the next file in folder rather than having to keep opening the folder and finding the next file.
Just an idea

Both video and audio are very much a work in progress (video is just place holders really and audio still needs mixing properly). I am after a chillout vibe...could anyone have a look and and tell me if the visual vibe is going with the audio vibe (I am not a video artist lol). I've uploaded in HD s...

OK...this all sounds good.
I just googled HAP and downloaded and installed the codec but being a n00b in such matters how do I use it?...I can only see how to export .mp4 from MMV.
Regards

Most enjoyable...some good ideas there

Thanks very much for the replies guys...I'm going to try the image sequencing tonight as I have not tried that option yet.
Regards

Yeah I tried doing by frames instead of seconds...so I will render like a set amount of frames and import those into Vegas after having set Vegas to the same Framerate....I use for audio codecs the K-lite standard codec pack...but I really have no clue what I'm doing here and all I know is whatever ...

I am probably being really dumb here (again) but I cant get my head around this. Between Magic and Vegas (which I use for post processing) I cant seem to get the length of my rendered scenes right. If I render an 8 second scene in Magic and then drag that scene into Vegas it seems to be at a differe...

Would it make sense to save my seperate scenes that I like from within a project as their own project...like a one scene project...for importing into other projects, or is there a better way to import scenes from another project?
Regards

Impressive...nice work

I just purchased this for making beats etc but while watching the overview videos on YT I thought it would be ok with it running in midi mode for triggering scenes etc. in Magic.
Has anyone used a Trigger Finger Pro with Magic?
Regards

Again...that was exactly the option I was looking for...perfect...Many thanks Eric. Basically what I am doing is trying to get the effect of the lights on the round 'Pink Floyd' screen (the screen they used last on the 'Pulse' tour). I want to be able to have different sequences of light beam effect...

This one has me scratching my head...I spent hours trying different things last night to no avail. Based on the Pink Floyd big screen light display I want to be able to trigger the 'beams' in a predefined sequence...i.e. one after the other with a small pause in between. Each beam has its own input ...

Yeah thanks
It occured to me to do that whilst I was dozing on my sofa lol
I am not the sharpest of tools in the toolbox

Is there a way to playback 7 images in a jpgfolder and have the 7th image hold for 2 beats then repeat the sequence?
Regards.

I would like to see the space bar used to start/stop playback.
All my other software...both audio and visual use the space bar and I cant get out of the habit of using it lol.

I now that here in the UK there is a website called 'cashgenerators'...who sell second hand stuff and they often have old video capture/mixing hardware on there cheap....its just a case of going through the pages to find it

FYI, if you guys want to attach .jpg or .magic files, click on the "Upload attachment" link which is just below the Submit button (when you're writing/editing your post).

Heh nice one Eric....you have to excuse my dim-wittedness ...I am old and senile

Hi If you are using the playlist the the only way I have found of doing it is to work out the timings in seconds and put those values in to the playlist. I dont know if this is right or wrong but it works :) If you want to switch scenes using a module then I find something like this works https://on...

Thanks guys

How would I go about incorporating the 30 band sample project into my project? My project has a lot of scenes and the sample project has like 13 scenes...is there a way to compile the sample project to import into mine...I know you can import and merge projects I was just wondering what the best way...

Hi Yes that should be fine so long as the controller is sending midi messgaes through the usb (it should be). Then you just have to tell Magic to use the controller. https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=BBBC9FF3407DE23E!8423&authkey=!AGdFVwrTh2QWbcg&v=3&ithint=photo%2cjpg This is how I ...

I would guess it depends on what outputs your hardware has....i.e midi or USB...maybe even firewire (I have never used a DJ deck but I do use lots of other midi (via usb) hardware in my music making and all of it is assignable within Magic for pararmeter changing etc...my BCR2000 is perfect for this...

I am interested also...how would it work?
Some kinda cloud storage maybe or website where we can preview each others work?
or just a forum for links?
Great idea though fellas.
Regards.

I just thought I would put this out there. I have never come across a forum where the dev is so patient and helpful. Hats off to you Eric...you run the forum the way a forum should be run (IMHO). Just great for those of us who are not advanced users and are learning. Many thanks. (I hope I am not be...

Hi...I am also in the learning stage lol....but I have found that with the set of tools provided I can achieve most things I set out to do with a bit of headscratching and experimentation. I just keep adding things and changing the parameters to see what happens...Myabe not constructive but its fun ...

Thanks guys....I have just installed Blender to try.

Hi something like this works for me :) https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=BBBC9FF3407DE23E!8422&authkey=!AIfS-99dYhDfjXg&v=3&ithint=photo%2cjpg (Sorry for the Onedrive link...I'm not sure how to post pics to the forum) Just adjust the parameters to your needs :) (there is probably a b...

I have found some nice GLSL shaders over on the Shadertoy Beta website that work...only some of them work properly but the ones that do are real nice....I just copied the code from the site onto a txt file and used them like that...I did notice that some of them seem to have multiple layers which I ...

Eric...what can I say....I followed your advice and made a separate audio track with both Kick&Snare and used the trigger option...and it is just perfect...exactly the effect I was looking to achieve

Many Thanks

I also would like to use .png

Thanks very much Eric

Perfect !
I am using seperate muted kick and snare tracks to trigger events like you suggested to me in a previous post and it works nicely.
Again...thank you for being so helpful

Regards

This one has me stumped lol.... Basically I have 8 still images that I want to trigger in sequence on every beat using one of either 2 of the muted sound files I have made (kick drum or snare drum track). The first thing I have done is to make a short video...8 bars...and then imported that into mag...

Last night whilst I was tinkering with my new Magic software I was looking at the midi settings and it occured to me that my old BCR2000 would be ideal for this...for triggering scenes and on-the-fly adjustments. So that is todays project....I am also going to try to routing audio from my DAW (Preso...

Thanks very much, chaps

Hi... I have just recently purchased Magic and i am loving it :) But I have a couple of quick questions. (Hope i'm in the right forum for this) Is there a way to sync 'no source' settings to a bpm? Is there a way to set minimum/maximum settings on a sine oscillator?..i.e..I can set the speed but not...
