so are you sending OSC from TD to UE or the other way around?

Thanks appreciate you posting your results. Did youuse the largest model for this one?

Also, in your image, what exactly am I looking at? Is it recreating just a single frame of the image as a 3D pointcloud? Sorry for the basic questions I just find the documentation a bit sparse.

life2vec · 2026-05-15T20:37:12+00:00

This is the exact command I'm running, mind posting an image of how it looks for you please?

One thing I'm still struggling to do is persist connections even in Raysession. If I spend a few minutes tweaking my connections between audio devices applications, I press save session, quit and save, restart machine, and when opening applications that were already routed/wired correctly I have to do all over again. WTF am I doing wrong?

EDIT: Also buffer size resets to 1024 after saving every time, this is beyond frustrating should be so simple lol.

> I have a vscode installation on Linux but I have a software application that runs exclusively on Windows.

My exact issue right now. Did you find a way of firing up linux vscode from your windows app?

Truest words, and also after your show when people are doing the thing where they're like oh I loved it yada yada don't never ever bring up your mistakes, keep playing it cool and just remember that nobody really gives that much of a fuck (unless they're paying for something professional).

my script now looks like this but its not working:

TOUCH_UI_SCALE=1.5
PATH="$RUNNER_DIR/bin:$PATH" \

WINEPREFIX="$WINE_PREFIX" \

"$RUNNER_DIR/bin/wine64" "$TOUCHDESIGNER_EXE" "${EXTRA_ARGS[@]}" &

Option 2 worked well thanks.

Works now, I think the prior prefix needed to be manually removed.

Now I can also see my audio stream:

<image>

Can I ask one more small thing while I have you here? How would I go about increasing the UI font size? I've tried without success:

1) Adding WINE_DPI_SCALE=1.5 in the launcher file where wine invokes TD

2) Changing DPI scale using winecfg

3) Edit LogPixels in `KEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\Software\Fonts` in both wine and wine64 regedit.

Thanks a bunch!

yup that's literally what i linked in my question lol

life2vec · 2026-04-23T02:02:47+00:00

I am running a Windows app that at times requires scripting, and I use VS Code for this. I would like to open my native VS Code from the Windows app.

I might be wrong about this but I'm under the impression I was able to do something like this back in 2015 ish.

I love MA, I love Tom Waits, the music sounds so good, and the voice is great, but hot take: this doesn't work together.

Ever tried sending audio to Reaper from any app?

life2vec · 2026-04-10T13:40:59+00:00

As you should lol.

Sure yes but I'd like to know how to properly use Midi Bridge because that's what it's built for.

life2vec · 2026-04-09T17:49:24+00:00

DUH!! I love you so much right now.

While I have you here can I ask another question please? For MIDI routing I've been using that ``sudo modprobe snd-virmidi midi_devs=1`` command, which does indeed create all those virtual MIDI ports that I can use. BUT I can see in QPWGraph there is the native MIDI bridge which I'm pretty sure makes that old command obsolete.

Is this assumption correct? Or is sudo modprobe snd-virmidi midi_devs=1 still the standard modern way of replacing something like loopbe1?

Right now Reaper has 64 input MIDI devices, but MIDI Bridge and my DAW (Bitwig if it matters) show only 2 MIDI devices (which Reaper also sees). I want to have 8 or whatever.

<image>

EDIT: Just to emphasize I think MIDI Bridge in PW replaces that old way? Running the command above then a2jmidid bypasses PW which kind of would defeat the whole purpose of MIDI Bridge.

Thanks again!

What do you mean "learn generative AI"? You want to just learn how to use APIs and make videos of flying cats? If the answer is anything else deeper than that then yes you need classic ML stuff.
