Roxxxtar Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 2nd year LOR: Is it normal to grow to hate the songs you have spent hours and hours working on? Is it normal to not care about using the visualizer, and just be ok with just using the animation preview? Is it normal to get sick of sequencing, and not do it for a week or two? Is it normal to get sick of sequencing, decide you're not going to do it for a week or two, and then end up doing it again an hour later? Is it normal to decide that you're done for the year, you've got a bunch of songs finished, and then you start working on another new song for some reason? lol Is it normal to hook up a controller or two and some lights, in July, because you just can't wait to see what they're going to look like?

mpageler Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Kind of supprised at the number or visulizer posts in LOR and the amount of time people must be spending on it. I played with it initially and just found that I could get idea of my display via animation and not spend so much time doing it. While I'm not there yet, I can see many answering yes to all your questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Y.R.G. Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I've always used the visualizer and when I've seen videos of the animation playing it just makes me cringe for some reason. The action of it just isn't as good as the visualizer IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent two hours on every sequence adding each dot of my matrix to the animation window before I discovered the visualiser and channel configuration files.

While I'm not there yet, I can see many answering yes to all your questions. Comparing Animator to Visualizer is in my opinion about like comparing a Model T Ford to any modern car. Animator is so clunky compared to Visualizer. The other huge advantage to Visualizer is that you can set up your configuration in visualizer and import that into SuperStar or Pixel Editor. May not be an issue for the people running a small number of 16 channel controllers that are sequenced in SE, but for thousands of RGB channels, I can't imagine being limited to SE and Animator.

1983ss454 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Yes No Yes Yes Yes Yes I much prefer the visualizer, I setup my whole display with around 10k Channels in about 2 hours. Then can import into pixel editor Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orville Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Yes to all EXCEPT visualizer, like another, I found it a bit difficult to understand and get set up, so I'm another oddball out that prefers the Animator over Visualizer. But then again, it all boils down to "PERSONAL PREFERENCE" right? So, there is no wrong or right way to set up your lights, etc. in the SE, just personal preference wins out on that one.

Gary N Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I feel I am not alone, this hobby can get a bit over whelming, and very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly what I do is if I'm working on something and I'm feeling stressed and overwhelmed then I start on the next thing, take a break from the first project and then go back. The expense part yes, that is very true Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanZ Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 1) No. I only work on songs I enjoy listening to over and over again. 2) Personal preference though I enjoy visualizer and find it fairly easy to use though it was initially a PITA to set up. 3) Yes. Or take a couple months off. 4) Possibly. You decide to stop then hear a song and begin to visualize it synchronized to lights then promptly start cursing again. 5) Done? What's that? 6) Not for me though plenty of people do it. Visualizer is my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
