help with jit.lcd

smaria's icon

I'm trying to make a project with the jit.lcd object. I wanted to make a sound reactive system where as a song plays (and a video plays in the jit.pwindow) little ovals drawn via jit.lcd will show up OVER the video and react to the sound of the video. I wanted my ovals to change colors at random using the drunk object. Please help me if you want to! I would so appreciate it.

-Thank you so much!

How do I use the audio from my video to trigger the jit.lcd to respond in the way I want to. I want the ovals to be audio-reactive over the video too.

ah, my bad, missed that part... best way i've heard of these days to run video/audio together, is using "jit.movie~"(<-the version with the 'tilde' symbol after it handles audio too, whereas the one without only plays vid).... hope someone will correct me if i'm wrong... so something like this:

you might need to tune the values of the "thresh~" object to fit the amplitude/volume of your video's sound so i added a number-box there for that.
