Magic Music Visuals

I've been trying to do the same for really long time. My current solution is to use a free version of TouchDesigner, which has a module for background removal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rajV8p9bdQE&list=PLmE9XnFUw9AaI10dmBrGYJByyMGj-bHr7&index=11&t=315s&ab_channel=TheInteractiv...

Hey friend,

I guess you are looking for actuall programming of modules, right? Not general know how about Magic?

Yeah! Thank you Sadler! Actually I am making something inspired by your Iterator (DNA) video ;) Anyway, I did it like this: Screenshot_1.png Where I've enabled the Power parameter, then added an Offset (1) that I am Bypassing trough OSC (where I've enabled the toggle you've mentioned). Thank you! Re...

Hey folks,

Can someone advise me on how to make the same toggle on/off, but with OSC?

Regards,
S.

Thank you!

I'll consider a Plan B) with running OSC on the same PC with Magic + a Touch Screen!

All the best!

So... tl:dr: Are there any downsides of using OSC vs Midi? Currently, 100% of the time I am using the midi sliders/faders to modify modules/parameters? I've purchased Magic back in 2016 and this was my first step towards the VJ worlds (I cannot express enough my gratitute towards Eric and everyone f...

I was thinking to create a topic for Win11

Long story short - I DON'T LIKE IT! Magic is working slower and it's more unstable.
I BLAME Microsfot, NOT Eric

I've made an image of my Win10 and I reverted after 2 weeks

Thank you Sadler!

Hello everyone! I tried to search for similar topic, but I counldn't find one. Have we considered a solution for one community generated lib with Additional Modules? It can be a Google Drive or whatever... I thought I had a nice set on my own, but then I saw Sadler's Tutorial https://www.youtube.com...

I kid you NOT, Darek got me into Magic back in 2016!!! I was doing the stage lights for a show on which the VJ was a complete piece of trash :D and I wanted SOOO MUCH his visuals to follow the beat, so I started researching. The moment I saw Darek's video I WAS SOLD!!! On that note, I just wanted to...

Hello my Magic Family ! I don't want to open a new topic, so I'll ask here. I wasn't able to find in the forum, if there are steps to import OBS stream into Magic ? My goal is that one musician will stream his video to me (via OBS), then I'll capture it in Magic and from there I will stream with my ...

Thaaaaaank you!

Going to looking into it rigth away!

Hello beloved Magic Family! Is there a way to do a "Background Substraction" similar to this one ? Screenshot_4.jpg The idea is that I would use a webcamera make a screenshot of the scene and then a person would enter the scene. By substracting the background from the live feed of the came...

Looks preatty neat! Thanks Terry!

Oh!

All clear now! Thank you!

Hi,

I am sorry for the noob question, but what is different from the Spout we had before that ? What has changed and what can we do more with this improvement ?

Hallelujah! Thank you Eric and Sadler (once again :oops: ! ) It worked!!!! working.png https://youtu.be/1okS_efoj6w Once again Magic fulfilled and exceeded my expectations!!! 8-) 8-) 8-) My biggest gratitude towards you Eric!!!

Hi Friends, I am trying to import live data captured from Kinect Sensor (via NI Mate) and to stream this data into Magic via OSC. My goal is to map Magic effects on top of a real person (since the NI mate would stream the person's hand coordinates via OSC). More or less I want the person to shoot ma...

Thank you perzon! What if want it to move between 0.5 and 0.6 ? I would offset (add) 0.5 before the scale ?

OMG I've found it!!!

Hi, I've replaced my old laptop with a new one. For some weird reason only Magic does not recognize my USB Audio Interface! I use the same USB Audio Interface as my old PC! I have reinstalled the drivers and Magic in multiple combination - NO EFFECT! Here is my PC Set up: Screenshot_1.png Screenshot...

My project has to be ready in a couple of days. I will post the results here. So, how did it go? Curious to know how you used the technique. There you go. It's raw footage by still you get the idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBCJTd1okI4&feature=youtu.be Thank you one again! I wouldn't hav...

Hi Sadler, Sorry for the delay. The event video just came out yesterday :) . I did what I called "art mapping" where we made an exibition of mandala paintings in a gallery. The paintings were possitioned on X1:Y1, X2:Y2, etc. On top of the original mandala paintings I would project a digit...

So another option I thought of after looking at your image again is using a simpler Expression with just three data points and Smooth between them.

Hi,

Is it possible to use Magic with this shader:
https://www.shadertoy.com/view/4sB3WV

I don't want to use textures, but Magic generated content. I tried to do it the "tutorial way" but it gives me a "one way" module:, that doesn't have an input.
Thank you!

S.

Hi, I am yet to test it, but I just wated to say: THANK YOU ERIC !!!!! Or should I say EPIC ;) . From the post above, I see that there are some things to be improved, but the fact you put the effort on making such software speacks greatly about Magic in general! As a person who had extreem strugges ...

Hi Community,

I've found this neat software that is free right now (Sale ends in 2 days 16 hours)

Hi, The only limits of Magic (apart from GLSL shader multipass support ;) ) is your imagination. Here are some things I've done - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_26phvFG0eA&index=3&list=PLmE9XnFUw9Abr8MCfnz_UCbjBNX39eFUR . I've used Magic for Logo Animations, Video Post-Productions and many...

Hi Eric,

I just wanted to mention, that you have another soul praying for a multipass support

Lots of epic shaders out there

Hello fellow Magicians I ;) am using different software to generate content and I’ve always struggled with sending this data to Magic. I’ve even used ManyCam to capture certain windows and then fake it as a WebCam, so I can feed it to Magic (as you can imagine terrible FSP issues)… I know Magic supp...

If there was an option to trail only pixels above certain saturation, it would yes.

I will post, if I find something suitable.

Hi, I don't want to go offtopic, but I don't think a separate thred is needed. What is the most optimal way/software to load in Magic images from another App ?

Yes, actually I want excatly what you've said and play the audio directly from the video file. So, I guess the answer is no then ?

Looking forward towards your reply.
