My Preset Pack, l33t viz vol. i (wherein, I steal a bunch of great code)

[LuxXx]

Is this the same stuff from 10 years ago or has the pack been updated?

Greetings,

This is a updated URL for volume i. Now I wish I had included some way to track activity (dropbox only gives detailed metrics if you are on their "pro" plan, the bloodsuckers). I am giving up "volumes" and moving to "versions" so the new pack will replace all of my old presets. I guess I'll have to include a script or app to remove all my old ones if I'm changing organizational system. It's at about 1600 presets right now, and almost all the old ones have been improved. Maybe I will just remove any that have not changed in that time, so it'll be like a remix album. l33t viz v2 - coming in Q3 or Q4 2021.

When it comes to milkdrop, I guess I am kind of a whore. But a classy one! Your presets are great, and your effort is very much appreciated. Thank you very much for sharing these. These have certainly earned a spot in my regular rotation.

I think we should probably not use the words "whore" and "slut" in regards to things we like. But I talked like this once and I appreciate that you find value in something.

So vol. 1, huh? Does this mean there will be more?

Switching from "volume" to "version" and 133t viz v2 will be "released" later this year.

But that's what makes milkdrop, and this community, brilliant. Think of yourself more like BASF... "You don't make things. You make things better." (Wow, that came out of left field.) Anyone that takes the time to package up their favorite presets, regardless if they wrote them or not, is great for this community. So, thank you.

I'm don't know this BASF, but now as an artist I rip and tear and copy and paste and remix and repent and I don't care if anyone likes it anymore. Or how I did it. I'm still defining my process (I do mostly static visual art that exists out in the world, not in the screen world) but I worry less about copying these days and more about making things that fool people and things whose origins and constructions are not immediately apparent.

Sounds like you have had some crazy times. Sounds like things may be getting a little bit less crazy. I certainly get it.

Actually, since I posted vol.1, I've lost everything and built it up again several times, including families and friends. Now things seem crazier than ever but at least I can work in peace. I don't have any happy way to end this. I don't know why anything is the way it is, and why I can't be like everyone else. In fact for the most part, I don't ask the question anymore. I hope some people get something out of my work I guess. A few laughs, a cheap thrill, a little-death, a psychic breakthrough, ego death

LuxXx, I first off want to thank you for this amazing Preset pack. Though some were too bright, or too flashy to look at, most of them were epic. I loved them a ton, and, though you have bad experiences in your life, it is obvious you love to make these. It was your presets that got me really rolling in preset making. So, in your honor, I dedicate these presets to you. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do, and I pray for your safety and wellbeing.

hi!

First of all, lol @ myself.
My initial post (and preset pack readme) was so full of hurt and self-pity... Reads like a depressed 13-year-old wrote it! I think I am going to change that a little bit! I am amazed milkdrop is still the standard for trippy home music viz, I would have thought something else would have taken over by now. Magnetosphere totally doesn't compare. Where is milkdrop3d already?!? I didn't even know if my presets would work without the beta dll...
I am so glad someone is looking at them besides me! I always knew milkdrop was something special... I'm not surprised the creator went on to something so huge.
Flexi: Yes, I messed around with some fragments of my own, but I really don't have the math chops to really know how and why everything is working. I always wanted to pursue this avenue of art/technology. Remixing is always something I've enjoyed, but I've always wanted to write my own from scratch, and never gotten up the courage to do it. Are you still creating presets? Is your career related to technology or music or both?
much love,
LuxXx
PS thanks for all the kind words!

[liyo]

Thank you.

[tspinning]

Wow

So amazing, thanks again for the editor.

Flexi, your help was much appreciated.

LuxXx, we're all in this together, thanks for sharing.
