Whatsup!
I love the work put in VDMX, such an inspiring program, been using it for a long time now.
Some stuff I've been wondering over lately and just want to put out:
- Is there any future plans of implementing an alternative to use a application frame containing all windows? (while keeping the ability to move stuff around/resizing etc) Because I often find myself trying to localize windows and find that they are not too consistent in their layout. Would be great to have the possibility to keep it all in one frame/window.
- Possibility to name control surface sliders when using multi- inputs. When mapping through data source->control surface-> it would be great to be able to have names for the different sliders/buttons for easier navigation.
- I feel that when using the microphone as input in the audio analysis I always experience bit of a lag in reaction, in contrast to using a line in or routing via soundflower. Is this a known bug? Are there any ways to reduce this lag? In live situations I sometimes use the built in microphone and it would help if it was quicker in its reactions.
- Moving blocks of fx at the same time. Sometimes you want to rearrange stuff and shift/cmd/multi-selections would be sooo useful. Grouping as well, as I saw in some other topic.
- Easier navigation through drop downs (perhaps using key up/down when it is selected). I know it can be mapped using ui-inspector but it would be a much faster and less irritating workflow to just be able to step up and down simply when it's selected. Esp. for blend modes, I tend to experiment with them a lot and it's hard to predict the result so I need to step through them.
- A drag and drop system for FX would be cool too.. I'm thinking of the way ableton handles effects and media importing, keeping them in a drawer to the side and being able to drag stuff in. This could be done for importing media from custom folders to the media bins as well, kind of how the import media window works now. This would be great because when you have longer effect-chains it would be great to be able to drop something where you want it in the chain instead of it just popping in at the end. (For live situations especially)
- Finally, not sure if this is the forum for it but anway, my profile on interactiveshaderformat isn't working. Getting some rails error.. http://www.interactiveshaderformat.com/u/isak.burstrom would be great to see it fixed so I can see the effects I have saved.
Thanks for the work you all put into this! I love VDMX and it's the most powerful application I know today
Peace
