We&#x27;ve had fun digging into Milkdrop and making it a tool for VJ-ing.<p>NestDrop allows you to perform with high-resolution high-fps visuals which react in realtime to the music and then broadcasts the video via Spout. Since the Milkdrop engine is at the core you can easily bring in your own Milkdrop presets. Use any audio source to drive the visuals, even live audio.<p>I also curated a best-of collection of 9,795 presets which are organized into categories &amp; subcategories. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thefulldomeblog.com&#x2F;2020&#x2F;02&#x2F;21&#x2F;nestdrop-presets-collection-cream-of-the-crop&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thefulldomeblog.com&#x2F;2020&#x2F;02&#x2F;21&#x2F;nestdrop-presets-coll...</a>

If anyone likes looking at these visuals but doesn&#x27;t have a windows pc, you might enjoy this web-based milkdrop port able to work with your mic as a sound source: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;butterchurnviz.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;butterchurnviz.com&#x2F;</a><p>I&#x27;ve been having fun putting together living room DJ sets with visuals driven by Acid Cam or Project M on my mac, but neither of those are really made for real-time VJing so i usually just pick a preset at the start of the set and stick with that. I&#x27;ll have to set up my webcam and OBS on a PC to play with this. Thanks for sharing!<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;playlist?list=PLmFMQ5frhaaTcvJ0ityQ5rVaWl1RNK72O" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;playlist?list=PLmFMQ5frhaaTcvJ0ityQ5...</a>

Wow this is awesome. A real throwback for me in some ways, and super in line with my current interests as well! Though it does occur to me how inexpensive you&#x27;re pricing it at, you sure the pricing model is what&#x27;s best for you financially? If not, it&#x27;s well within the community etiquette to reshare this tomorrow and solicit pricing tier feedback. If so, I&#x27;m happy for your success and thanks for sharing this!

can you give me a headstart? so your prog enables me to do projection mapping with winamp visualisers basically, right? so if i own some discotheque with some projectors, i could use this regardless of input music in auto-random-mode all day all night?

so glad you had fun into making a milkdrop fork so VJs can even get less relevant with this software i guess, just clicking through the presets, if not totally automated - i like it, since it puts Vjs into their place.

PSA: if you are a VJ in any kind of seriousness, avoid this like the plague:)

I guess this is just a nice shadertoy-like platform for any aspiring VJs.

the demo song at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vimeo.com&#x2F;391524665" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vimeo.com&#x2F;391524665</a> sounds pretty horrible, did you automate that aswell?

as a VJ i really like these systems that automate my daily work away to an extend where i still can appear like doing something.

i noticed some lag issues in your demo video? maybe pull the audio in future to about 2-4 frames?

so this is a playback machine for shadertoys? can you use code directly from shadertoy for a new preset?

this will be the last feedback for your weak attempts to automate what is not to automate\
