how to create audio-visual performance using jitter?
Hi all, just a brief introduction of myself: I am a music composition student from Hong Kong and would like to learn Max, and I am just a beginner, learning from some tutorials in youtube and from max documentation.
Recently I watched some awesome audio visual performances (eg. https://vimeo.com/44646776) and I plan to do similar thing in my graduation recital. I would like to know is there any tutorial talking about live audio visualization? As I briefly read some tutorials in the Max7 documentation , they mainly talk about modifying the videos by adding some effects. Therefore, I would like to know and learn to do audio visualization (or simply audio-visual interactive stuff) by using live audio input but I find very few tutorials from the Internet. Also, some tutorials (like jitter receipts) are quite difficult to me, as I don't know what is happening even in the first example. As a beginner of max, is it possible to do some audio-visual thing? Are the any link or tutorial that you may recommend?
Thank you for reading this, I hope my question is not too dump ....

Hi Larry,
Just keep it simple at the beginning.
A few pointers Open the help file for jit.gl.videoplane.
You can send a film to that object as a texture.
Now check the examples/jitter/render/ slab helper examples.
They have some basic video effects with parameters you can tweak.
Now insert the jit.gl.slab object between your film and jit.gl.videoplane object.
Now get an audio file. Feed the audio into the snapshot~ object
This converts a audio signal to a float.
Plug that into a scale object and then into a parameter from jit.gl.slab. Scale as needed.
The audio will now change a video effect real time.
The video you posted is probably done with open gl objects running through slab effects. That could be a little advanced to start with so start with the film method first.
Hi Larry,
Masato Tsutsui has a couple of really good tutorials on avin. I learned a lot from them:

Hi Andro, thanks for your instructions. I am sorry that I try to follow your steps but it does not work... I believe that i may misunderstand your instructions. May be that is already a bit difficult for beginner as me Orz anyway, thanks for your instructions.
Paul, thank you for the videos you suggested. I followed the steps in the tutorial and I found it clear and interesting! :)
Heres an example
I clicked on "click me" but nothing happens.
Do's the max console give an error ?
Works on my system.
