Live performance video

Hello! Here's a live performance video that I made using magic. My project as a visuals creator is designed to be as fully interactive as I could make it, which is why I am using live VideoCapture module for the vast majority of what I do. Hope you guys enjoy it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAtX...

Re: One laptop to run Magic and Ableton? Please adivise

I am also running ableton and magic on a macbook air, depending on the amount of midi being sent in ableton, and the complexity of the visuals, mine begins to lag and affects the audio output slightly (enough for me to not be able to use it live). Your laptop sounds like it can handle more, especial...

Re: How to generate a shape per beat?

This is great! Pretty much what I'm trying to do. I can see what you mean about the "issues" about the beat and multiple shapes/resets. I honestly think I could still make this work, since the cacti was more of an illustration, I plan on using several different shapes that will pass throug...

As for the idea, Imagine a super abstract/simple/crappy version of this video by The Chemical Brothers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S43IwBF0uM

Re: How to generate a shape per beat?

Thank you. Your responses have already helped plenty :) I apologize for the vagueness. I am working on a 25-30 minute avant garde film, with around 5 separate scenes. If I can get this to work, then I can include this scene. My whole idea gets pretty intricate, but let me give you the gist and maybe...

Re: How to generate a shape per beat?

Here's how to use the input selector to cycle through a number of shapes along with the beat. Trigger counts up when its threshold (0.3) is exceeded and Wrap makes sure it doesn't count more than the number of shapes (5.0). Thank you for that tip! That's kind of what I need. The only issue now is t...

How to generate a shape per beat?

I created a shape that animates from left to right, passing through the screen. I am trying to make it so that shape keeps being generated on beat. So far, all I was able to do is get the shape to reset every beat, but I don't want it to disappear halfway through and start at the beginning (see vide...
