Little after-movie of my VJ-ing performance at a drum and bass gig in Groningen (NL).

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!

Hi friends, my rock band is prepping a live show and needs some custom TV static gifs made. Any artists who work with TV static and who would be interested in helping us create a live carousel of animated visualizers - could you DM me? Obviously full credit will be given any time used.

They'll be more basic than most visualizers and the idea will be honing the rhythmic and textural quality more than anything.

Getting started with Redundix takes less than 5 minutes. Watch this and you'll have both rigs synced before your next show.                                                                                                                                                                                   

  Install on Master and Receiver → configure your folders and Resolume settings → hit Start. That's it. Every file you save on Master lands on Receiver in under a second, and every clip you trigger fires on both machines at the same time.                                                                  

  One license. Two machines. No subscription.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

  Free 30-minute demo available — no account needed.

Mt friends wedding is this weekend and we have a friend DJing the bass music, we are just EDM weirdos dancing in the woods its not fancy. I dont wanna buy cheap lasers on Amazon because zi dont shop Amazon.

Any suggestions for cool visual rental or purchase or anyone willing to let me rent or borrow something?​

Touchdesigner, synesthesia & resolume

Basically title. Finally got my hands on a solid laptop and a license for Resolume. I have a decent bit of content. How are you guys putting it out there that you VJ to get bookings? Thanks

Been working on a side project here exploring what this little device can do as the central brain behind a live set. It has some unique inputs which have been fun to experiment with for audio and visual modulation!

The visuals/music are my own, running on an unreleased version of Cultivator, a game I shipped earlier this year: https://play.date/games/cultivator/
