How do I sync a M4L visualizer to audio?

I have a visualizer that uses my webcam to create cool effects. However, when I add the patch on Ableton, it doesn't recognize the audio. I talked to the developer & he said to use a plugin like Envelope Follower, edit the patch & then select the audio on Ableton to trigger & sync with the visuals. Can anyone help me get this working?! :wink:

That's hard to tell without more info...
What's this visualizer? Is it made to sync visuals to audio? Is it a M4L device? etc...

The envelope follower will allow you to map to the parameters of the visualiser so that they then react to the audio, there's no need to edit patches...

Click on map in the envelope follower and then select a parameter in the visualiser.

The step by step is above, there's nothing more to it than that.

Thats a Max Patch and not a maxforlive device, ask the developer to provide you with the M4L version or try a different visualiser.
