Topic: My Spaghetti Show

[BlinkenLights]

ok im going to make a spaghetti show, and use laserboy for frame creation and import stuff from laserwave too.

Im going to chronicle the progress here for all to see just how easy it is.

im going to TRY to use all original material (unlike my first show which is all from ildaswap)

so i was gonna do a song from The Postal Service, but im up for suggestions.. Obviously it will have to be a song I like

[drlava]

I like the postal service but their songs are light and poppy, might be hard to do a beam show with them, verses harder music with beats that lends itself to beamshows.  If you were planning on doing a graphics show, on the other hand that's cool and good luck!!

[BlinkenLights]

well i have done a beam show to Such Great Heights that was ok

[Agent C]

I've been thinking about tracks I want to put performance together for.  On the poppy electro side I'm really digging Hearts Revolution.  The Juan Maclean, Simian Mobile Disco, and Gang Gang Dance also have a bunch of good tracks with strong beats that are begging to be made into laser shows.  If you're ambitious you could go for something off of Square Pusher's Hello Everything like Planetarium, but I don't know where I'd even begin.  I'm also really digging this UK garage artist Burial - would be great for a chill beamshow.  His stuff has this really distant echo-y sound, ghostly.

[Fanny Pack]

Make a list of things that annoy you about Spaghetti along the way.  I'm sure you will find some.  I'll do my best to improve your experience so that you look forward to creating a second show instead of dreading it. 

[BlinkenLights]

thats the plan

[BlinkenLights]

ok first annoyances. there is no visual representation when im playing the show or setting cues. I would like it if a vertical line started moving  from the begining until it got to the center of the timeline display (depending on how big my screen was of course) and then the timeline should start moving with that line in the center. That would allow for me to visualize if i needed to tweak cues.

cant resize the quickview window to the right of the timeline

[BlinkenLights]

tried to do a fade on a "star field simulation" type annimation and it screwed up all the blanking. but only when i was also using morph..

[Fanny Pack]

Can you supply more details about how you had the animation and effects set up for that animation?  What were you morphing to or from?  Single or multi morph?

You can also just attach the .spgp file and tell me what time the animation starts and I can figure most of it out.

[BlinkenLights]

here ya go..

here is a new one

create a new project
add an animation
make it shorter by dragging its end of the animation to the left using the timeline view
and then change it to morph multi.

[BlinkenLights]

ok here is an easy one..

"ARE YOU SURE YOU WOULD LIKE TO DELETE ALL CUES! !"

i accidentaly deleted all my cues with a slip of the mouse.. i meant to delete one and then BAM gone..


verification before deleting ALL cues would make it all better.

[Fanny Pack]

I released version 1.8.1.5 and it takes care a couple of your issues.  I fixed the fatal exception when you resize a morph too small and I added a confirmation message when deleting all cues.  There are also several undocumented enhancements and bug fixes that I found on my own in this release.

I plan on getting to the other items you mentioned soon (this week, most likely) but wanted to get out this release to take care of that fatal exception.

[BlinkenLights]

cool thanks.. i will be sure to continue to update you as this moves forward.

[BlinkenLights]

ok here is another easy one that does not matter much

all the other DACs, if selected, yell at you if you do not have the driver installed..

all except riya ethernet

it gives me this when i select it and click the more button
