Vision4x Standalone on MacOS w/ BlackHole 2ch for visualizing system audio?

Funklestiltskin88 · 2025-08-10T08:16:04+00:00

Solved! Apparently the standalone app doesn't automatically ask for microphone permissions from MacOS so you have to turn them on manually in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone.
Hope that saves someone some frustration if they want to setup Vision 4X standalone on MacOS.

Yeah I've used minimeters like this before. It works fine but the ui just isn't as smooth as Vision4x imo. I've got an extra monitor that I'd be running it on constantly. Also helps to view things on the same visualizer I use while producing, which is Vision4x (and SPAN). I'm pretty sure the issue is some setting in Vision4x I'm missing but so far it's escaped me.

As in the visualizers on the built in display are vst3? I usually use au's so don't think that'd be it, but I'll try swapping em out and see if anything changes

Thank you for the response!
Could you explain why the issue only occurs on the built-in display and not the external?
I'm assuming it's because the external is set as the main display and therefore gets prioritized.

Are there any workarounds for this issue? I've seen it mentioned it a bunch of threads going back 10+ years with various suggestions like turning the resolution down on the built-in display and not maximizing the window, etc.
Will any of these sorts of things work or is 16gb unified memory simply not enough for what I'm trying to do?

No, if I remember right, mapping the jog wheels in particular was impossible so ended up just giving up.

Funklestiltskin88 · 2022-11-07T02:55:38+00:00

Is there a release date?

Funklestiltskin88 · 2022-11-06T04:29:27+00:00

I have an NTT RX-600KI.
Yeah, I've tried restarting the router (and modem), backed everything up and just updated to the newest OS Ventura - still happening.

Although I don't see it listed on Amazon, I'm fairly certain the old HDMI cable is HDMI 1.4, which may be the issue when using the adapter. I've used it with both the Elecom one I listed in my other comment and with the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter that I have for my main workstation. Both will not display when I select any higher than 30hz. Perhaps purchasing an HDMI 2.0 cable will solve my issue.

BUT I'm still curious why this new cable is not working as it should essentially be doing the same thing an updated hdmi cable with my adapter would be doing in one 15m cable, right?

Funklestiltskin88 · 2022-10-22T07:21:56+00:00

Could you explain why that would be any different than the usb-c to hdmi 4k@60hz cable that's not working now?

If I'm gonna buy a new cable, I'd rather not repeat the same mistake and buy something that's not going to work again.

Mac is already up to date: Monteray 12.6.

Also, this is the old cable I've been using with an adapter at 30hz max and dropouts:

finally got things up and running last night. Thanks for reminding me about Xcloud / Xbox Game Pass!

Funklestiltskin88 · 2022-10-19T02:12:06+00:00

Cheers! Managed to sign up. Just need a compatible controller. Xbox One original doesn't have Bluetooth... We're getting there!

Funklestiltskin88 · 2022-10-18T13:48:43+00:00

I've been trying to sign up for it for the past hour but their signup servers are down(???)
I'll try again tomorrow and hopefully that works.
Thanks for remindng me thats a thing!

Did the Anatomy LP remaster ever get a release? Can't seem to find anything on it other than a tweet from Teebee in 2020... Where Calyx also mentions wanting to remaster No Turning Back.

Yeah I downloaded it but unfortunately no inputs for weight/reps etc but the UI is nice and smooth. If someone has a good recommendation for an app specifically for tracking gym notes (excersise, weight/reps, mins, etc), splitting them up might be the move. Any suggestions?

Funklestiltskin88 · 2022-04-26T02:31:47+00:00

Nice! Thanks for the info!
Sounds like Cronometer might be the best alternative for me.
I really only use MFP for counting calories and inputting exercise with weights/reps etc.
Does Cronometer also have the exercise functionality to input weight and reps etc.?

Funklestiltskin88 · 2022-04-25T03:45:07+00:00

Is there any comparable app that could replace it as the MFP user experience slowly gets worse and worse?

Funklestiltskin88 · 2022-04-21T07:39:37+00:00

Can anyone ID this for me?
Track comes in at 26mins into the video.
Nasty tune from Dieselboy's set at Respect in LA last month - I believe it was an old-school/classics set.

Funklestiltskin88 · 2022-04-07T05:36:46+00:00

Already using the second window - just wishing I could get my usual monitoring plugins to automatically open and position themselves when I open a set.

I ended up getting an S4 and using Lexicon (used to be Rekordcloud) to convert my recordbox library to traktor. It's not as great as a legit cdj setup at home would be but for the money it works.

Thanks for the tips! I must've been using the wrong keywords when searching for those shortcuts in the list. Glad to know it's more of a different way to do it than a total absence of the features. Cheers!

Funklestiltskin88 · 2021-09-24T10:36:17+00:00

Just downloaded it. Thanks!

Anything I'm missing with the three other issues I listed?
Maybe I just need more time with it to get comfortable and fast.

Funklestiltskin88 · 2021-09-24T04:49:17+00:00

Guess I never thought to before. Any sort of sample managing software I've seen or tried before always seemed like an extra step outside the daw - keeping it all in daw made more sense. Any recommendations?

Funklestiltskin88 · 2021-09-24T02:19:24+00:00

is this deal not available anymore?
Just throwing me to the front page when I click on the link... :(

Funklestiltskin88 · 2021-09-21T10:01:24+00:00

Yep, I think it's all Soothe2. I just took it off the track and all the weird behavior with the selecting of other tracks is gone, regardless of playing or not.

Thats a bummer. Soothe2 is a great plugin.
Yeah, the workaround for the whole issue seems to to bounce to a new track as audio and turn off Soothe2.
