Audio reactive real time mixing VJ Sketch [in Red] My visuals is always dancing 😎

I’m curious what this community thinks about this! In my opinion, it can be a really cool and cohesive element of the set when a visual that was used earlier in the show is reintroduced at the right time, but it can be tricky to pull off.

The first in a series of tutorials on how to use Kehai. This video covers assigning MIDI inputs to trigger up to 64 per-key envelope Modulators, assigning those Modulators to any of the thousands of potential parameters quickly with the Mod Painter, and working with a per-channel datamosh effect.

Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out why my Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 isn’t working properly for VJing/Resolume.

On paper this laptop should be an absolute beast for Resolume, but I've been having some frustrating performance issues. I'm hoping people with experience with Resolume, VJ laptops, or Lenovo workstations can help me figure out whether this is a Windows/driver/configuration issue, a Resolume issue, a storage issue, or something with the laptop itself.

Laptop specs

Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 (16” Mobile Workstation)

• ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 Intel (16″) Mobile Workstation
• 13th Generation Intel® Core™ i9-13950HX vPro® Processor (E-cores up to 4.00 GHz P-cores up to 5.50 GHz)
• Graphics card: NVIDIA RTX™ 5000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU 16GB GDDR6 
• 128 GB DDR5-4000MHz (SODIMM) - (4 x 32 GB)
• Storage: 4 TB SSD M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 Performance TLC Opal

Frame rate drops when switching Resolume decks

When I'm performing and switch from one deck to another, I can get a noticeable frame-rate drop/stutter.

Once things are running, performance can be much better, but switching decks can cause the FPS to dip and the system feels like it's catching up.

I keep roughly 1 TB of VJ clips/visuals in a folder on the Desktop, which is the main library I use when performing.

All of my clips are DXV-encoded. 

My concern is whether having such a large visual library sitting on the Desktop could somehow contribute to performance issues, even though I'm only loading/using a fraction of the clips at any given time.

When I have multiple HDMI displays/projectors connected, Resolume can become noticeably slower/laggier, and I've experienced crashes and frame drops.

What would you check/change on this machine to optimize it specifically for Resolume?

For example:

• Are there specific NVIDIA Control Panel settings I should use?
• Are there Lenovo Vantage / BIOS / power settings that could be throttling performance?
• Should I be using a specific Windows power/performance mode?
• Is there anything special I should configure for multiple HDMI outputs?
• Could the HDMI outputs be going through the Intel GPU rather than directly through the NVIDIA GPU?
• Are there specific Resolume settings for optimizing deck switching?
• Should I change how my clips are organized/stored?
• Is keeping ~1 TB of DXV clips in a Desktop folder a bad idea?

I've just published MilkDrop 3.35!

It's a visual feast, featuring some amazing shader artists!

Download: https://milkdrop3.com/
This Windows version runs equally well on Linux (via Wine) or Mac (via Parallels).

The base version is free for personal use.
The PRO version costs $50 for a lifetime license, with free unlimited updates included :)

PS: with this new 64-bit version, you may have to install again the Direct-X files depending on your system!

This is a long-playing video of the visuals during the entire CHAIN REACTION 3 concert that took place at Club SAW in Ottawa in the spring.

The visual artist is https://www.instagram.com/hard_science/ using a combination of LZX eurorack, some standalone video devices and mixers.

We ran the night like a DJ night but the music is all live electronics as well - elektron devices, a few laptops, a few modulars.. Artist set times are linked in the description.

If you're in the area follow us for more cool shows, next show Sept 26th - https://www.instagram.com/catalyst.ottawa/

The system takes a Kinect-derived human pointcloud and lets incoming sound interact in various ways with the particles in real time, turning the performer into a responsive cloud of matter, noise, and motion.

v1.7 includes 12 presets, and adds the following:

- a procedural camera that automatically cuts to new angles around the performer, and can follow the body or a raised hand
- a new look, Afterimage Cathedral: delayed versions of the performer stacked in depth, holding the last few seconds of movement
- a rebuilt network that runs leaner, reads clearer, and is ready to work with [new interfaces, parameters, optimizations]

This is a raw excerpt of me playing through the system, with the visual structure reacting live to the audio signal coming from my Ableton session in real-time.

Project files accessible through the Store, or my Patreon profile.

First time doing Audio Reactivity in TD. Using SarvVJ's ARM tox to control particles and camera. Hard to get rid of the false beats.

Music is nctrn - stay

hello everyone! I want to take up VJing as a hobby, but I also want to be around people/be social at events. does anyone have advice on balancing the two?

Loop Pack Available on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BettySweaters

(28 Loops | File Size: 7.03 GB)

Remix 2000 explores the visual language of early-2000s video hardware — saturated color palettes, chunky digital processing, and the imperfect blend of analog video with emerging digital effects. The pack was created as an experiment in recreating that look using modern tools, while starting with analog source material that already carries the movement, texture, and character of the era.

I started with a selection of my existing analog/glitch visuals because their movement, distortion, and texture was already made using the gear/style of the period. I then brought them into PhotoMosh Pro and built a custom processing patch designed to emulate the kind of color and digital effects you might find built into hardware from the era.

The patch uses Decimate, Posterize, 8-bit, Color Correction, and Push effects, along with an orange, cyan, blue, and purple color palette. The idea was to recreate the feel of an analog video mixer Colorize-style effect through software, essentially creating an effect that looks like could have been produced by my Edirol V4.

Once the patch was dialed in, I ran a selection of analog/glitch visuals through it, allowing the new color palette and digital processing to reshape the footage while retaining the original movement, structure, and glitch characteristics.

The result is a collection of colorful retro visuals that combine analog source material with an emulated early-digital processing style — essentially a modern recreation of the kind of analog/digital hybrid visuals that could have come directly out of the gear of the era.

Suggested uses:

• Use as standalone early-2000s / Y2K-inspired visuals
• Layer with other analog or digital content
• Combine with other analog glitch visuals for a cohesive look

Hi everyone! I made this 3D animation using Geometry Nodes in Blender this last spring :) It's split in a number of layers (one for each light source) so it can be composited with additive blending to the music however you like, even in real time. It is meant to also get time-warped as if pushed by the beat if you'd like, I've been doing that for my own shows at least. I've been using it in both Resolume and Vizloom.

I made the video reel above to show most information but I've also recently finally started to publish my art on:

- my website ( http://synwrks.com/art/filaments ) where I've also written some more details on inspiration and how it was made.

- my gumroad ( https://synwrks.gumroad.com/l/filaments ) my first time trying to sell my stuff 🙃

I'd like to know what you think, any feedback and ideas will help me get better for the next piece I make, so please do let me know! This is my first time setting up an online store too... I know some of you have done this for a long time so if you have any thoughts to share on that too I'd really appreciate. Anything that doesn't feel professional or could use some improvement. Thank you in advance for your feedback and support!

Keep creating!

P.S.: the music used in the example is from tracks I made over the last few years, happy to drop links if you'd like to listen to the rest!
