I've been experimenting with quartz as of late - trying to take advantage of the audio reactive qualities and ability to mix in vdmxx.
I've been having issues with the audio input, for some reason I can't get my comps to use the line input. I can create a comp with the line in selected as the audio source, build the comp and save it, but the next time I open it up in either quartz, quicktime or grid, it puts the audio input back to mic input! I've tried this numerous times, and even have my sound prefs set to take line in as the input - but every time without fail it defaults back to mic input for some reason. Anyone else had this problem? Is there a work-around?
I really need to take the line in, rather than the mic. In live venues the mic isn't really usuable, as the audio is too loud. Also as of late I have been working with a band, and have been getting an audio feed from the board, taking only certain instruments to deliver the audio cues, which results in much more accurate and effective reactivity.
cheers
