What webgl visualizer do you use? I have trouble with ProjectM too.

Thanks, that wasn't at all obvious... I had to figure out also how to get audio to redirect in Pipewire, but now I can actually see the output. I suppose this thing would probably be more useful as an ffmpeg filter and/or audiacious plugin.
This is a fantastic idea! I forked [1] projectM a while back to work on a few modifications such as screen and audio recording (by saving raw framebuffers) and being able to select the active preset remotely from a web interface so I became somewhat familiar with the way projectm handles A/V input/output. I just took a look at ffmpeg’s video filter interface and it looks like linking the two could be doable! This fee…
IMO making a projectM-gstreamer plugin would accomplish this a lot easier and better. I wanted to do this but wasn't sure how to create the GL context.
Started it a while back: https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm/pull/207

#83I've loved playing with this over the years - it's a great project. I've been to a couple music shows where the VJ had a serious setup with what looked like physical mixers with buttons, knobs, and dials, and some quite complex software going. Does anyone know how to learn about the state of the art in VJing?
Worked with a friend to create NestDrop. It's a VJ interface wrapper for the Milkdrop engine with support for Spout output. http://nestimmersion.ca/nestdrop.html Also curated and organized about 9800 Milkdrop presets from the community. https://thefulldomeblog.com/2020/02/21/nestdrop-presets-coll...
How would you feel about using this or a subset of them as the default preset bundle for milkdrop? It needs a better curated default.

#84Music visualization is really underdeveloped in my opinion. I've never seen anything I find impressive. The problem is it never really looks very much like the visualization relates to the music I'm listening too. Usually you just kind of see the rythm of the music at most. I want to see something where harmonies look like beautiful patterns, noise looks like noise , and perhaps you could even pick out individual ins…
try finding something that lets you do an XY plot like an oscilloscope does. left channel moves the "pen" left and right, right channel moves it up and down, and it draws a fading line as it goes. it's amazing to watch, to me.

#85Imagine how much more awesome these visualizations could be if music files came with more than 2 channels. I'm reminded of old tracker software which had simple visualizations for each track. https://youtu.be/eclMFa0mD1c Imagine what could have been if every instrument or voice had its own channel...
interesting suggestion! given that alas consumers of the world are expected to enjoy bundled finished products, it seems semi unlikely. so perhaps this suggests a great use case for stream seperators like the one posted a couple hours ago Cassiopeia[1]. ultimately i'd love for music to be more like html- an encoring of content that the user's agent then renders as it sees fit. having individual streams, or something…
that's what MIDI is, isn't it? basically, it's digital sheet music and you can tell MIDI players to play it however you like.
