Live Music Rendering
Hello,

I play guitar in an LA based rock band. We're headlining a show early June with ~800 attendees. Over the years, I've grown to love the AVS visualizations more than any other visualization software out there.

For our early June show, we want to send live audio directly from the venue's soundboard into a computer, then into Winamp/AVS, and project it onto a massive screen behind us while we play.

Any suggestions?

any line-in plugin will do, i think this had very low latency

Awesome, that is exactly what I was looking for. Though I should mention Winamp's built-in "linein://" plugin gave me a much lower latency than Jasper's plugin (the one you linked). I tried to closely follow Jasper's performance documentation, but his word choice is too often unclear. His documentation actually helped Winamp's built in "linein://" plugin immensely by advising the user to turn down the output buffer size.

Now I just need to fine-tune the actual visualization to prevent visual skipping.

thanks again!

well, jasper's plugin was last updated in winamp 2.x days, so maybe it doesn't perform as good anymore (or nullsoft improved their own)

That's what I figured was up. :)
