The Calculate Amplitude for Frequencies node needs a continuous series of audio buffers to analyze; if you skip buffers there will be discontinuities in the audio signal; if it were audible there would be clicks/pops. In FreakCity, swapping the order (Receive Live Audio -> Calculate Amplitude for Frequencies -> Hold List) should give better analysis results.

Thanks for letting us know. Right now we don't have enough information to figure out the problem. If you can give us a precise set of steps that always (or almost always) cause it to crash, including the composition and all its subcompositions, that would be of great help.

Here's Magneson's solution as a Receive Mouse Moves on Layer subcomposition for easy reuse. You could make a similar subcomposition for Receive Mouse Clicks on Layer.

Since that seems to solve the problem, I'll mark this feature request "Withdrawn".

Paul,

Could you please send us the debug-mode-enabled console output when running a composition with that camera selected?

Enable:
defaults write org.vuo.Editor debug -boolean true

Disable:

jersmi,

Have you seen the Feature Requests for these audio FRs: Node set for audio synthesis, filtering, and sequencing and Ability to use audio plugins in compositions (VST, VSTi, and AU)?

Second issue first, you just feed the value from the Midi Event out to a Hold node, and retrigger its output at the rate you want on the event in on the hold node.

As for the first issue, the way these counters work is that they take whatever last updated count of what something was, and apply a calculation adding or subtracting a fragment of the daily change every tick. They are more of an art piece than an actual counter of sorts. So to be as efficient as possible, you can do the same and not bother about reading the details from the website! :D

To set up a tick per baby born per day for instance, you just use a divide node, and divide 86 400 (seconds in a day) by 385 000 (babies per day according to Google according to UN) and feed the result to a Fire Periodically node. It should be a tick every 224ms or around there somewhere. Remember to use a Fire on Start to trigger the calculation in the divide node going to the Fire Periodically, if not it will be set at its default rate.

To also keep it in sync with the page you can possibly use a Fetch Tree node from the webpage, making sure it pulls the starting number from the page every time you restart the composition (provided you have an internet connection). In Chrome, you can see what to look for in the tree by marking the text you want to find, right-click and inspect. From the code in the webpage, you should search for rts-counter, births today, and rts-nr-int; rts-nr-10e3 and rts-nr-10e0.

Status: 

How severely does this bug affect you?: 

●●○○ — It's annoying but I can work around it.

Steps causing the bug to occur: 

  1. Package up some nodes into a subcomposition
  2. Publish some ports

Have you found a workaround?: 

No.

Other notes: 

Lots of crashing with sub comps, this is just the latest, reporting after the third attempt.

Hi

Thanks to all the community here - am a new(ish) user leaning heavily on the work of others, all of which is appreciated!

So I'm trying to do something that seemed like an easy task, but failing.

I'm trying to send a MIDI note on every change of one of the ticker/counters from https://www.worldometers.info/. Composition attached. I've taken the approach of Motion Detection and tried to butcher it to my needs.

Audio Tools (and Resource Management)

jersmi's picture

Submitted by on

Having spent a bit more time with Vuo's audio tools, I see some real potential. This is a two-part feature request in the spirit of "more better audio".

First request: take a second look at how Vuo manages computer resources regarding audio. For example, dropping frames in video can go unnoticed, whereas when audio hits the limit with distortion, drop-outs, etc., it is immediately disruptive. Right now Vuo feels a little fragile/volatile when pushing these limits. (There is also no current way to monitor when Vuo is getting close to resource limits).

Is there a way to optimize resource management to stabilize audio? Could Vuo, for example, take better advantage of multicore processing for audio (and perhaps even get better performance with audio + visuals)? (To be fair, my experiments have been with Vuo's audio synthesis tools -- these by nature are more resource heavy for real-time processing. Audio-file or sample-based approaches would perform better.)

Audio Units? I don't know if this would even be possible -- what about internal access to Apple's built-in audio units? That would cover a lot of ground with the basics. Do these translate at all to Vuo? Audio units of course would open the door to MIDI instruments, but that really takes it another direction, and the issues with resource management become even more important. But it would be cool.

If not, I'd vote for a couple built-in basic audio effects:

Spatial tools -- Reverb and delay. First choice. Besides making musical sounds more pleasing, consider interactivity -- for example, in game engines like Unreal Engine or Unity one can assign reverb to some sound element to make it seem far or close.

Second on the list of priorities, more EQ (filtering) and tools for dynamics (compressor/limiter).

More -- saturation/distortion, chorus/flanger/phaser.

How severely does this bug affect you?: 

●●●○ — It prevents me from completing a specific task with Vuo.

Steps causing the bug to occur: 

  1. No image from USB camera.

Have you found a workaround?: 

No

Other notes: 

I have UC80MPA USB video camera from Spinel. https://www.spinelelectronics.com/pdf/UC80MPA%20Specification.pdf It registers itself correctly "8M USB Camera". Works in Skpye, for example. But I don't get an image in Vuo. Tested in version 2.3 and 2.2.1 Ideas?
