Great vid! I duped the Geo opa few times and switched up the RGB usage to have several of them reacting as once in a ball of reactive beauty.

[Stegs]

This is brilliant thank you, great way of adding audio-reactivity!

[beesha]

very well explained! i particularly liked the extra info on how the speed chop works - i've been using audio reactive methods with td for a while now and i still learned a lot from your take on it

[moritzwalther]

Did anyone else have trouble at 9:20 dragging the null3 CHOP into the noise to transform the z value? I was getting an error saying I needed to input a float() value instead of a td.nullCHOP. I fixed this by putting a reference to channel1 of the null into z i.e. op('null3')['chan1']

Hey, great tutorial! Thanks a lot. I wanted to know how to increase the speed of the movement of the noise?? I tried using a math chop but I don't think its working out

[axelles]

Hi ! At 9.19 when you drag and drop the null into the "transform noise" how do you transform as a chop reference ? Is it a right clic to choose "chop reference" ?

[tomiddan]

Great to tutorial! thank you for this, I wanted to ask if you have an idea if how to get the movement more smooth because for the track i used it moves by the kick and it gave a feeling of robot/staccato effect and not smooth any help will be great

[RyanHarris]

This looks like it has an extremely steep learning curve.

[kylebailey]

when ever i goto render their is a white box along with the reactive audio any idea why?

[SwiftsCreation]

As a beginner this was an awesome tutorial, thank you so much for this!! One thing i will is my lines are not glowing to my beat like how your lines glow. Any idea why? I followed every step.

[yomine]

I get the error: all OPs must generate the same number of instances. Wasn't able to move from there . Using the free version though does that has something to do with it? Thank you for your tutorials!

[lya-rxwt]

[brianmakesbeats]

I’m getting a warning that says insufficient number of channels for desired pixel format, I’ve tried changing the pixel format but it’s not working, anyone know how to fix this ?

[moritzwalther]

How are you changing the color of the nulls?

[spandanjoshi]

And also, bloom isnt working for some reason...

[matix]

[gabrielrolim]
