I’m making a real-time Color Organ that makes the colors of a movie react to music. Saw Deadmau5 doing something close in his stage performance. Impressive.
I’ve posted along with others about the desire to have an operator (or some other way) that can mute the driven audio (so I can use a “clean” version of the same song for output (without it being garbled). My post has not yet been answered, and I still want to do that, but can’t figure out how.
Hi there,
it would help if you could post a simplified version of your network, or at least a screenshot, to try to illustrate your problem.
cheers,

Current working file…
Math Chop multiply set to 0 does remove bad audio, but it also removes the desired effect.
Just connect the Audiodevout CHOP directly to your Audiofilein CHOP.
Jims test 52.toe (24.7 KB) Either way (connected or unconnected) same result. Can’t turn off audio without turning off effect. I want to drive the effect with a high-multiply math chop (I think), but use pure audio for clean output.
There is a total of 3 AudioDeviceOut CHOPs in your network - one right after the math and it has its active flag on… Delete the 2 unnecessary ones, namely audiodevout1 and just to be sure, audiodevout2
Cheers

I have an audio file driving visuals correctly, but in doing so audio gets garbled. I want to mute that audio channel (after driving visuals) and use clean audio (same song) for output.
I’m thinking run a branch from audio file in chop directly to audio output, so audio runs as it would from the unaltered source, driving visuals while playing correct music. Everything works except muting garbled output. Maybe there is a better way?
I’m not sure I’m following, but you can either just delete the Audio Device Out CHOP or turn it’s Active Parameter to Off.
Or is the issue that your framerate is dropping and you hear crackling?

Could you reference your other post? Not really sure what you mean for it to do from this description.
Thanks!
Isn’t audio mute just a math chop with Multiply set to 0?
Audio Chop → Math (multiply 0) → audio out.
That should do the trick of muting.
You can also do, “garbled” audio and “clean” audio to a switch, and switch on the fly which audio stream to listen to.
If you want fade, you can use the cross chop with a Constant chop that has 2 chans set to 0.
Yes, but I’m using that overdriven Multiply chop to drive the visuals. If I turn it down to zero, it does mute the audio, but it also stops the movies colors from dancing to the music.
The attached file is where I’m at so far. Any help is appreciated.Jims test 51.toe (23.5 KB)
I merged all your topics into this one. My last answer can be found here:
