keep it up.
what i pput up takes a few hours, but ive been looking for an itunes type visualizer thing, that reacts to live audio input
so if anyone knows please please tell me!
BTW there is something, it's much more advanced than an itunes tye plugin but it looks damn cool...

you know how to use that trapcode shit. Ive seen many things done with it and they arent half as good as yours, Congrats! Btw, the tune is banging and it _does add_ much!

I have been using Trapcode for a while now but I still consider myself a novice at AE and tc...
I just got Form a few days ago but have not had time to fucks with it. have you tried sound keys? It generates keyframes from the audio. If you isolate frequencies you can have different keyframes for all the different dynamics. I have used that in conjunction with particular and 3d stroke to creating moving and growing "vines" or other objects that roll w/ the choon.
You can then take that a step further and use a layer grid as an emitter to create objects from existing video, stills, or text. I am not sure if "Form" has a layer grid emitter but if it does...that shit would be ill
Also start messing w/ the dof and motion blur on your comp camera to add more visual dynamics to the project.
I really enjoyed watching...some nice work there... and the tune is killer. Makes me want to start pumpin out AE madness

oh I forgot to add...create a camera and "move" it through Z space... with that "form" it would be pretty sick
and
check out this German dude's showreel all w/ AE and C4D

This is awesome.
I agree that in a live setting this would be nuts, trippy as fuck.
Great to see something completely new, obviously itunes etc have shitty versions, but this is brilliant, totally adds another dimension to the music. And feeling the tune too, nice work.
Keep doing this!

thanks for the great comment!
and yes i have it also, but trapcode is newer and uses sound keys as the base of the particle audio modulator

you mean
form?
You can still use the older sound keys in conjunction with "form" to generate keys that are not available in the limited "map to" audio react menu
even crazier, you could use the audio react to map whatever and then on top of that use sound keys to animate "form" parameters like kaleidespace or fractals...
and then there's expressions, but my brain is not equipped to handle that ish...not yet at least

Nice tracks also on My Space .
I use Reason 4 too - just went to the Producer Conference on Saturday - it was killer.
For visuals (in a live setting) I use Resolume - it's a VJ package and very intuitive - it's basically a 3-channel video mixer that can run on your PC with loads of free plug-ins for effects. If you have a MAC use Arkaoss or Module8. There is also ton if information about making live visuals on VJ Forums.
For linear studio editing use something like Final Cut for Mac or Vegas for PC. You will certainly need After Effects as well.

yeah i might look into this, my flat mates really wants to start having a go but for some reason he's not been bothered to sort out any software.
Is there any good Open source software for it?

Tune is heavy! Just watching it now.
And about the suggestions - you can export the different objects seperately an then layer them. Requires a bit of tweaking and more time to think ahead but sure thing works.
And you could incorporate them into some video footage. Doesn't need hi tech camera, you'll distort the hell out of the image.
Safe bruv.
PS Youtube works on mobile though!

i was thinking that, since i cant handle them all in AE (its slow)
would you know how to export from AE as an alpha channel?
and then i can work with them in final cut

I'll look through it first thing when i'm back.

no rush man
yeah pretty much a particle system from trapcode is generate in free space with no bckground, but when i export it out of AE the black stays
