Internal Audio to TouchDesigner - TouchDesigner Tips, Tricks and FAQs 10

Рет қаралды 30,378

Күн бұрын

In this TouchDesigner tutorial we route audio from a media player (Spotify, KZfaq, iTunes etc.) into TouchDesigner using the freeware VBCable. We also create a custom component so you can reuse this in the future and we create a simple visualisation to get you started.
You can also use the Stereo Mix on Windows if that's available for you.
This technique should work on both Windows and Mac.
Download VBCable: vb-audio.com/Cable/

Hey there. u can also activate 'stereo mix' in your windows 10 audio settings. As input device you can select 'stereo mix', so any of your system sound is routed to td without the need of vb-cable.

@elekktronaut 3 жыл бұрын

I talk about that at the end of the video. This does not work with my sound card however and apparently doesn't work for quite a few people so I thought I'd make a tutorial with a technique that works for sure :)

Change Image Layout to either Row(s) per Channel Set (Wrapped), or Fit to Square (Combine Sets). I just realized I'm responding to a 2 year old comment lol. Hopefully it's useful for someone. I'm sure you've already messed around with it, and got something working.

@mateuszkrol2057 9 ай бұрын

Sorry, but I can't believe no one mentioned this. It works but only with the speakers on your computers. If you connect the laptop to some other speakres, it doesn't work anymore. You get the audio output only from you laptop speakers or you get the audio from the good speakers, but then you don't see sound anymore in ToucDesigner
