Darkarbiter Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Wow I just got windows media player 11 recently... and I didn't bother to check out the visualisation until yesterday! It's awesome... the old patterns get better and the new ones are just great. Anyone else just sit there and listen to downbeat and watch it like me? It would be nice if they payed traktor for their beats counter though... wmp usually doesn't pay much attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEY- win visualizations?? ?UGH- TRY G-FORCE the earlier versions had less compatiblility issues (i cant get the new one to work with itunes, but it works with winamp. G-FORCE dominates. they finally did start selling a gold version, which could really be about one of the best visuals for a party because it can be routed to ANY audio input (meaning you could hook up a mic or line in to decks and have visuals that go with the music (on three levels) i would say the main draws of G-FORCE are 1)constant color changes- no same color vis for hours 2) minimal repetition - there are about a hundred standard effects that combine in different ways to produce a constantly changing effect some other cool factors are ability to increases number of things happening on the screen (depending on machine power) being able to change the color scheme the list goes on i have a few other old vis proggys that are almost as cool, but none have ever really matched G-FORCE it is very addicting, people tend to get caught up in staring at it when i have it on. kata fx is a neat retro style vis if you can still find it anywhere, it was free but i think they took it off the market to use it for themselves at shows. PS- if you enable "run multiple instances" with winamp, there is a plug in available which allows pitch/ tempo control, but as far as i know, no beat counter yet (but i haven't looked in awhile) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Matta Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I use PlasmaViz for Windows Media Player. I tried AcidWax when it came out, but I didn't like it as much. I recommend checking out PlasmaViz. You can turn off the adverts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkarbiter Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 Well the acidwax screens look much nicer... tbh... blobs of gas forming random shapes doesn't really appeal to me. More travel less shape forming imo and damnit it is much nicer... but the adverts really piss me off. Can hardly properly evaluate it ffs... no keygens on google either.

frozen dream Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 i had tripex for winamp some time ago, which was pretty nice but got boring fast... electric sheep screensaver is also very nice but needs internet connection and is very buggy and runs prty unstable and yeah now i just use wmp11 and those visualz suck pretty much... whats there to do about it.. write your own!! http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsme...er/plugins.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karan129 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I prefer Winamp's Milkdrop plugin, its has some amazing, trippy presets such as.... Rovostar - Tripmaker Redi Jedi - Acid in Your Pants Bmelgren - Acid Iris E.O.S. - Glowsticks and Proton Lights (Recursive Mix) Geiss - Cosmic Dust 1 Rovostar and Loadus - Active Sparks (Fractaldrop Remix) Rovostar - Mosiac of the Ages Shifter - Fractal Grinder Valhalla - Happy Trip and loads more.....

Yeah, MilkDrop all the way. There are some seriously wild and extremely, extremely complex visualizations in there. It runs very smooth at very high resolutions too.

thorn726 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Yeah, MilkDrop all the way. There are some seriously wild and extremely, extremely complex visualizations in there. It runs very smooth at very high resolutions too. G Force. better. Ack! the newer milkdrop does look pretty darn good, wow. that's what i get for not looking in a few years. pretty much the same as g force, but with newer graphics, very nice! now i don't know what he newest g force looks like either, getting it now, but the full version isnt free. g force if you want ot see their site, the full vers. is stand alone, extremely useful.

Aeros Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Yeah milkdrop just got to version 2 and has an all new engine, mindblowing effects even on the simple ones. Its one of the only visualizers to use your 3d graphics hardware, so thats one reason why its so smooth and complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorn726 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Its one of the only visualizers to use your 3d graphics hardware, so thats one reason why its so smooth and complex. there are a few. g force does use 3d hardware LAVA or Oozic or whatever the heck they call it now- kind of interesting. different 3d scenes that move around, some were cool some weren't. one that was kinda hokey in overall function but a very cool idea was cyberdiva, a six armed woman who danced and rotated to the music. it was a Creative bundled proggy, i dunno what happened to its engine I use PlasmaViz for Windows Media Player. - that one looks great also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowball Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 G Force. better.

thorn726 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 i cant get the visualisations to sync with music.... they just do their thing argh! my stupid set up wont accept that latest version at all, but that is my backwards hardware. i dunno, maybe they are slipping over there, i had to go back to version 2.7 to get it to work, but agian i have a weird video card/motherboard config. the only thing i can think of is make sure the soundcard record settings (in wherever the controls for your soundcard are, could be one or two places) - are set to wav or everything and not mic or something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorn726 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 double post happend there was lot of diffrent screensavers and viz plugins , g force , psychedelic screensaver etc that one looks pretty cool. I have to admit after messing with the new Milkdrop, and having problems with the latest g force, Milkdrop has come a lonnnng way, and is now if not the equivalent, possibly better than g force. some difference in colors that would be a matter of opinion, but the overall function is so similar...

Charlie Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Milkdrop for the win. It wees on WMP11 from a great height and leaves it, not surprisingly, smelling of wee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radi6404 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Milkdrop for the win. It wees on WMP11 from a great height and leaves it, not surprisingly, smelling of wee. Milkdrop is just the best visualsation, not that it looks awesome and has thausands of presets, it is very easy to use and very stable.

Charlie Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I think it looks ace myself. At the end of a night whilst on mushrooms a few months ago I had it running through my PC to my 32inch hi-def widescreen TV and it captivated me for a good hour or two. Couldn't take my eyes off it.

I hope you were listening to psychedelic trance because other music doesn´t fit with this visualisation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkeletonMan Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Farq. I just dled winamp. Plug and play perfects but the visualizer doesn't work Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I hope you were listening to psychedelic trance because other music doesn´t fit with this visualisation.A little bit of oldschool goa but, as it was getting on towards the end of the night, mainly Shpongle and Shulman. Farq. I just dled winamp. Plug and play perfects but the visualizer doesn't work Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong All I can think is you're trying to get the visualiser to run without playing an audio file - which it won't do.

Darkarbiter Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Massive necro but damn! Acid wax has been improved a ton since the date of this thread! Theres tons more visualisations and the colours choson are much better. I'm still really sad my humble e8400/8800gt combo can't run very high though. I have an ambitous project idea... 1. Record my favourite goa tracks 4x slow 2. Set acidwax to 4x speed... set to very high and record the video results. 3. Speed up video 4x... 4. attemp to sync with song... very high looks awesome even at 10fps... imagine at 25!!! anyone suggest any programs for syncing? 5. (the most ambitous part) find a decent avi to something a little smaller converter so the upload to various sites doesn't take 12 hours.
