Audio Volume Gate
Posted: Mon Aug 01, 2022 11:24
Hi --
I've recently switched from Magic to Arena+Wire and it's going great. Really great!
There are a few things Magic does that it seems Resolume doesn't, as expected with any software.
My projects are all live-audio reactive, so the biggest thing I'm missing at the moment is audio amplitude gating. It doesn't seem to exist in Resolume, forgive me if I've missed it.
It's a huge deal for me. My existing projects have many elements that trigger only when, for a common example, the sub frequencies reach their peak. So far, my Resolume parameters follow the sub frequencies entirely, and so there's a lot of jitter and rumble in the effects at lower audio volumes.
Would it be possible to add an audio gate to the FFT listener? Ideally post-filter. Meaning, the linked parameter won't move until the volume has reached a particular threshold.
I imagine it's possible somehow via Wire, though it would be inconvenient or even impossible to wrap every Resolume effect in a Wire patch just to get that kind of basic reactivity.
...I have many more audio-related (and non-audio) suggestions that I think are important, yet a gate is the most immediate and crucial to me, and I think the most universally useful.
Thanks!
