Live and the visualizers in winamp and media player

Post by mikemc » Fri Feb 11, 2005 11:16 pm

I like the effects that are produced in the visualization screens in winamp and media player. Is there a way to route the audio into these directly from Live? Does anyone know of VSTs that encapsulate this sort of visualization?

There is a standalone graphics generator called G-Force that is kind of cool, you can route the output of your audio device to it. The downside is that it seems to need a whole ton of CPU-- like, a whole 'nother CPU :).

Thanks, I'll check that out... I'm looking for the sort of psy visualization you can get in Windows Media Player or Winamp, but higher res, for projecting onto a screen.

Check this out:

Can be used standalone, generating realtime images out of audio coming into the PC.
Turn up the radio. Turn up the tape machine. Look into the sunset up ahead. Roll the windows down for a better taste of the cool desert wind. Ah yes. This is what it's all about. Total control now.
