No it doesn’t seem to. Looks like it’s a vdmx thing. Managed to get simple server and z vector going into arena then mixed out to madmapper all syphoned all smooth. But one simple server and an effect into vdmx is just kaput. Everything is new I installed this laptop a week ago.
it especially happens when i put an effect on. say i put v.002bleacbypass on at 0 intensity it happens badly. freezing for 3 or 4 seconds in between frames.
i didn’t leave anything out. ALL i’m doing is running a simple server into vdmx or resolume. new projects. NO displays. output slowing down to 1(one)fps. no slowdown equals smooth playback. with syphon the input equals the output. how do you define it?
i run simple server then i syphon it into a single layer of either resolume or vdmx at 480p or 720p i get slowdown
You’re right. I’m not going to customise my engine without getting oil on my hands. I just find that i could spend my time more enjoyably than getting bogged down with maths, it just isn’t my bag even though i can be good at it, especially when i could be taking photos for instance or making music. that doesn’t mean i don’t like things being complex, i’m trying to get this working so i can use modul8 and ableton as a frontend for some more complex bits behind with m4l doing some cool stuff. like you say it’s a shame vizzie wasn’t sorted properly… in terms of getting stuff into a workable form if i have an important gig a the end of March say, then learning a whole new environment might not be the way for me to go, especially if i have some spoken word to work on and musical theory to be doing. not working in the new media scene sounds a bit harsh though seeing as i’m already pretty accomplished. If i had a big enough grant it’d be nice to pay a team of programmers to work on stuff for me but then i guess that’d be missing the point of trying to get a customised interface. I’m sure i just need to kick my own arse a bit!
if there are any good tutorial videos on exactly what you are suggesting it would kickstart me into having a go tho… philosophy here we come.
then i’ll be a programmer, and i’ll have to do math, which will turn me into a mindless philosopher… :p it’s often the way with these things, they let you do one thing but not another. tis indeed a shame.
