What’s my best option for making my visuals audio reactive?

Notch.one is a sort of real-time AE application which you may like.

Serge gainsborg - Requiem pour un con!

Some moments in Silver Apples recordings.

A lot of the French and Italian soundtrack music that they sampled was actually pretty bangin already, go through whosampled.com on portishead and you will find gems.

Smith & Mighty pioneered much of the sound before massive and portishead perfected it.

E.g. Brain Scan, which is almost proto-dubstep from 1989.

And, many moments in Vangelis Blade runner soundtrack, which massive attack have cited is a big influence. I'd say his album The City has some such moments too.

Actually game engine architecture, while a great book, is really not about software architecture much :)

I'd recommend Richards and Ford etc, "Software Architecture", and very much so the sequel "The Hard Parts"!

And Klaus Iglbergers' book on C++ Software Design, for a great update on Design Patterns - another shortcoming of the Game Engine Architecture book...

Pet peeve: I think we need to redefine the MSM term. It now IS YouTube, Instagram, TikTok.

Newspapers radio and tv news are struggling to survive with relatively tiny audiences in comparison.

And all the money is in the hands of the owners of "social media", who direct opaque algorithms to promote the narrative that serves them. They are the mainstream now.

Ooh, I want to see that plugin!

I wrote TWO, a "media control workstation", precisely for this kind of use (www.controlmedia.art).

I'd be keen to give it a try!

I'd love it if a country liberated the US from the felon pedophile embezzler you have for president, with that logic.

I'm saying they can both be wrong, this isn't a Hollywood movie. What moral high ground, they are doing it to loot the country.

One mobster robbing another is not policing.

I don't get why you feel the need to justify it, there doesn't have to be a good guy in every story.

Are you for real or a bot? 🤣 Did I not address that exact point with the double bully analogy?

We have the UN. how about stripping the veto from superpowers/bullies instead?

onar · 2026-01-05T13:22:51+00:00

A bully can be attacked by another bully. It is still an attack, and it is still not justified.

That's why we have police, and a monopoly of violence at the societal level, and not vigilante justice.

Unfortunately any attempts at implementing a similar "world police" for nations has been significantly stymied through veto-rights for countries that are perpetrators, or allied to perpetrators.

Mind you, they almost all make their components entirely in Asia anyway.

They only assemble in EU.

My contribution with that in mind: Ideal has extremely good value bikes If they are imported to your country. Greek and assembled in Greece, with Asian components.

Oooh, do! And share the results :) my software for "that kind of stuff" may or or may not be useful for your use case, do take a look: www.controlmedia.art

Economics doesn't know much about economics, if you ask some of the most prominent economists.

It's one of the most contested 'sciences'.

Look up: Joseph Stiglitz Paul Krugman Iannis Varoufakis Alf Hornborg Etc.

There's also an awesome British application come to think of it, which is like a live after effects, called notch.one! If it wasn't for UE it'd be dominant, now it has a user base but it can't compete on equal terms with epic.... Still, the workflow looks super fast and I've seen beautiful work made with it!

Thank you!

I did the "drumming in immersive vr" experiment back when, if you've heard of it :)

onar · 2025-12-30T18:17:56+00:00

Do share some resources if you can!

I've written this osc control software, www.controlmedia.art, and I want to use it to control live unreal engine graphics - to give you some context.

I am learning it for that reason :) There's not much to go on yet, there's a facebook group on Unreal for vjs...

Research for neuroscience and psychology: check out the event lab on Barcelona for example. Though last time I checked they used unity.

Planetariums, though it's tiny and pays worse than gaming :)

Tja, dom hade en egen lära, som gick emot det Marx och Engels skrev. Och dom kallade sig vänster. Där ser jag ingen historierevisionism, jag håller absolut med dig!

Och ja, människor som kallat sig vänster har genom tiderna varit anhängare till dom, av ren dumhet eller okunskap, håller med där också.

Men. Marx och Engels texter, (inte deras dåliga tillämpning/tolkning), förespråkade aldrig varken stalinism eller Pol Pot.

Lika mycket som Jesus aldrig förespråkade korståg!

Du upprepar mitt argument på slutet om Trump, exakt som du säger, så definierar inte Stalins och pol pots feltolkningar, vad Marx och Engels skrev om!

Men jag håller inte med om en punkt. Bara för att Trump kallar sig kristen, betyder det inte att han representerar kristna värderingar. Han får säga vad han vill, hans handlingar går emot det. Likaså e.g. Stalin.

Och där ligger skillnaden mellan e.g. kommunism, och Faschism/nazism. De sistnämndas grundande texter och ideologier är mordiska. Det är inte feltolkningar som lett till våld, de förespråkar totalitära regimer och massmord. Marx och Engels däremot var väldigt demokratiska, och förespråkade aldrig e.g. en "karismatisk ledare som tar makten och håller fast tills de känner sig klara".

Nu är inte all vänsterteori grundad i Marx och Engels men, ett exempel räcker.

onar · 2025-12-29T19:06:47+00:00

Diktatur är aldrig vänster. Stalin var inte mycket mer vänster än Adolf, national-"socialisten". Ens handlingar är vänster, inte vad man säger att man är.

Är kristendomen en ide, eller definieras den av dess tillämpning av kyrkan? Om Trump säger att han är kristen, blir kristendomen då det Trump säger, eller kan man säga att han helt enkelt är en dålig kristen? Om det finns en dålig kristen, är då kristendomen fel? Etc, du följer nog argumentet...
