Candle Flicker

[Steven]

I've been experimenting with getting my candle flicker to look authentic. Since I'm a Linux nerd, I threw together a little perl program than generates a LOR clipboard file that contains random candle flicker for 3 minutes of 4 candles (channels). As my candles are in storage at the moment, I haven't had a chance to test it live, but it looks good in the sequencer.

 

For those of you who have a perl interpreter handy (i.e. if you have a Linux or Mac system or have downloaded the Windows version), here is my rather simple flicker program: flicker.perl

And here is what it produced: Flicker Test.lcb.

Steven, thanks for your candle flicker.
