that’s pretty great, i’m new here so i’d love to learn how to do this

Overview

Workflow:

  • Create music in Sonic Pi.
  • Create visuals in Hydra in Chrome.
    (Tip: Use an image with s0.initImage(“”) as source, so you get nice colors from beginning.)

Record performance:

  • Open Atom where you can have a plugin for Sonic Pi and Hydra in a split view so it looks nice.
  • Record with OBS in highest quality settings.
  • Import to Camtasia studio to normalize soundlevel.
  • Export with highest possible settings and upload to YouTube

Let me know if there’s something I should explain more in depth.

Just seen, just about to venture into the vjd world (should probs learn more SP first but heyho - let’s go!)

Just wondering if there’s a pro atom consensus (over vs.code) or if there’s a lot of equivalence (eg ya can do split screen sp and hydra in atom OR vscode)

Would love to get my kb shortcut issues fixed (one for vscode community, disabled conflicting menu option to suppress alt press focussing menu bar (trying to run selected text using alt+t is interpreted as ‘focus Terminal menu’

Should probs get off windows! :thinking:

Also, does anyone know if they’re able to use sp and something like atom/vscode on the same machine, if each is able to start it’s own new instance of an SP / SC server?
