Hello there...just curious...how do I turn the music that is pre-
loaded into Onyx off? I don't mess with sound much and I think the
music is somewhat dragging down my program.

Otherwise...I LOVE ONYX! Keep up the great work guys.

well - there isn't any music "preloaded"...

make sure you're not using a microphone and the clips you have put in your library folder have had the sound removed. because, yes you are right, the audio does indeed slow down processing speed.

@loopy: FOR MORE INFO LOOK HERE:

@bruce: just looking at this, I found your tone wheel seems to be the only thing making sound in the bleeding edge version -> and strangely it seems to be the only thing that I can get to make the microphone clip do anything...

well, it seems that tonewheel is totally broken, and even after removing the clip from the set it continues to make sound (and it is impossible to move the dots...)

What kind of sound is it?
is it some kind of feedback ?
Stefano added sound analysis in Onyx-VJ, which analyzes the input of
the soundcard
On windows 7, in the sound mixer, you can put Onyx-VJ sound output to
0, so that the feedback does not happen.

Let me know if it's ok like that

hey guys, ciao daniele,
could you call that "crazy metronome" ? :)
should really be the feedback Bruce is talking about.. but what's
strange that on onyx start the audio module is disable. I try to
explain:

you should a window called LINEIN; in that you can see HOST, PORT that
are for future use (not well tested now, but would allow to acquire an
audio streaming from an external server/source/internet, also from VLC
if it's the case)
then you have SOURCE that should state LINE IN and ENABLE that should
be on FALSE by default.... that means that if you want to use audio
you have to click on that and put on TRUE... so on onyx startup you
shouldn't really hear nothing... could you confirm that?

now I try to explain the "clicking metronome" problem: basically we
can have two scenarios
1: music played on local PC (not necessary inside onyx, but also via
winamp on the same onyx machine for instance)
2: line in/mic audio feed

for each of them we can also have different operating system, let's
say winXP and win7

theory: the onyx's audio module rely on latest AS3 capabilities of
performing sound spectrum analysis (aka FFT) on sound objects; shortly
that means that flash/AS3 has to "play" the sound to perform analysis
on it.
in the first scenario I actually take the soundcard output (that's the
only way I see right now) selecting StereoMix (or whatever is called)
in the recording panel of sound card and (this is to me like a loop
back), I attach it to a sound object and play it in AS3 to allow for
FFT ... but this as you can see really play the sound twice one of
which is distorted (clickityclickityclikity sound)
in the second case I select Mic or Line in in the recording panel so
no loop here and no clicking sound :)

as Bruce pointed out win 7 users can control individual apps output
volume... so setting onyx volume to 0 solve the problem... cause what
is played in onyx don't loop :)

hope to hear news from you :)

cheers and happy visuals

well
now i'm from notebook where there is onyx 3.1 beta (that i'm not unable to unistall, couse unistaller from programs list don't do anithing it think a lot but it don't work), so i can't install the new version, i try to install it in a different folder but at first run it stop loading plugins, and it never open.

yesterday i try last onyx on the desktop where it run good, but there was that sound.
the sound wasn't with onyx closed.
there was nothing plugged as line in, no webcam, no other software running (only chrome with facebook for talking with bruce, but it was muted) i also checked the panel of sound preferences and mixer, there was nothing that play or record or stream music, only onyx was outputting that sound.
as loop i opened only the default ones that come with installer, but sound play also with empty layers.
if you want tomorrow i can record it so you can listen it.
the sound was something similar to the sound that jodie foster listen between the hitler movie that come as reply from aliens in the movie conctat of 1997....

are you stefano trying to send us schemes for make a intergalactic ship?

ok today i opened onyx for record the sound... nothing abnormal happened... onyx don't stream more sounds, it is not more in the audio mixer of windows too...
i think my onyx is possessed.
