Is this thread about Milkdrops or is it about "Line in's"???


Yes :)
The line in part was just how to get Milkdrop to react to an external audio source thru VDJ

Are you using the default skin?
Have you tried enabling Milkdrop as the visualization for audio only in the advanced options?

Yes and Yes on both questions. Thanks

There is no way for it to run in the background all the time.

If you are experiencing a momentary freeze, it's likely down to your video card doing the prep work like compiling shaders - all of yours are unfortunately low spec and this could well cause a momentary freeze.

I will have a look and see if there is anything I can optimise.

Ok, thank you very, very much. I had spent well over two weeks searching the internet for any information regarding the system requirements to run Milkdrop8 in Virtual DJ 8 and came up with nothing. I found information for running Virtual DJ 8 and Milkdrop separately and as far as I can tell all of these systems that I bought far exceeding these requirements. Logically buying a more powerful add in video card would have been the first thing that I would have tried instead of trying to buy several new CPU’s with more powerful on chip graphics, but that is not an option as I have a short depth rack mount computer short enough to fit in a standard audio rack and it is only 2 units high. I have no option to add a video card to this case and I can’t use a bigger case because the road case is already full. In fact I have to lose one of my keyboard drawers in order to install the new controller because it is 1 unit bigger than the old one. So I am stuck with on chip graphics and the reason I bought these different CPU’s is that I read many online reviews of people using them for mid-range gaming builds and being able to achieve respectable frame rates in modern video games, so I assumed Virtual DJ and Milkdrop would be no problem. I also found other posts in the forum about people using Milkdrop seamlessly on systems with much lower specs, especially some laptops, with no problems what so ever. So as you can see I am in a very serious bind over here and if you can manage to help me get this rectified I will be most seriously grateful. By the way this plug in that you have created is so impressive that it was the determining factor as to which DJ software I purchased for video mixing. That is why it is so important to me to get it working. Thank you for your hard work.

Scott, you are the man. Thank you very much for the update. I am currently testing it on the AMD A4-7300 and so far it is running perfectly. I will continue to test it very thoroughly before using it live and will report back here with my findings. And 1955 presets is like Christmas in June. Once again thank you for helping me get this project back on track.

quick question: does this install/update write itself in and overwrite the existing version or do we need to un-install it first?

I did not see an option to uninstall Milkdrop8 from the control panel list of programs to uninstall in windows. I assume the uninstall option is not included in the installer as it doesn’t really install anything per se but just puts the right files in the right folders. Anyway I just installed it over the existing installation and assume that it just replaced and added the additional files and everything is running great so far.

it will overwrite the previous milk.that is why you should download and save the installers for things you love...Im testing right now though and everything seems fine.even though I run the first version on decks while newest "v8 only" on the audio vis config. (so you can crossfade between two different milkdropsthis works if you had kept the previous version before scott seperated them into v7 & v8.I dont know of the old version drawbacks on who's system or what but it works on mine..

I just downloaded Milkdrop for 7.4 but it won't install. When I goto install I get a message saying : "Software not found, you must install the software first. Check VDJ". I have VDJ professional licence 7.4 installed on my machine so why is it saying software not found. My sonique doesn't work anymore and I read about Milkdrop but how to install?

Mac Version ?!?!?

Anyone else getting a problem with screen flicker when using Milkdrop 8 ?

Happens whether I use it on it's own or in conjunction with Telly Visuals.
Have re-downloaded and re-installed ......
Other Video's and VJ Drops work without the flashing screen, just when Milkdrop is activated as a Master Effect.

A few other people have reported it but as yet I've been unable to replicate here.

I have a hunch so if anyone wants to try a test build let me know.
