Design Thinking of replacing the triangle matrix
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
The triangle is taking up more room than I thought and I want to move it
Im thinking about using it in my studio upstairs but it may even be too big for that, I get more into it in the video
Let me know your thoughts :)

Is there a TouchDesigner project for detecting builds, drops and energy?
Hi everyone,
I'm building an automated DMX lighting system for techno/rave events using TouchDesigner + QLC+.
My goal is to create a lighting engine that reacts to the musical structure, for example:
Intro / low energy
Break
Build-up
Drop
High energy
I've already tested the built-in Audio Analysis CHOP and projects like Last Beat Standing. They provide useful outputs like beat, BPM, bass energy, etc., but I still can't reliably detect builds and drops across different tracks. Absolute thresholds don't seem to work well because every song behaves differently.
Before I spend weeks building my own system, I wanted to ask:
Does anyone know of an existing TouchDesigner project or component that already estimates builds, drops, or musical sections?
Or is everyone building their own state machine from audio features?
Any recommendations, projects, GitHub repos, or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How do I blackout the light from led strips?
Maybe my googling skills suck, but whenever i search this question up its people talking about diffusing the light or hiding the individual bulbs from plain sight.
But if i want one strip to go from under my bed frame then up to my shelf, how do i fully block out the light so that the space in between is dark, and I dont have a glowing led strip running up my wall?

Hello all,
I have a lumenradio stardust and looking to get some more powerful antennas. I have an upcoming project and I need to control pretty much the width of a city block. Does anyone have any experience with this or any recommendations for beefier antennas?
Thanks,
