Hi friends,

Andy O’Meara here, creator of the G-Force, Aeon, WhiteCap line of music visualization software SoundSpectrum that has long been available as a visualizer for MC. I wanted to express my deep thanks to the JRiver community for sharing in this journey, as well as provide a overdue update on the future of SoundSpectrum.

Very soon, we will release new versions of our existing products for mac and Windows, improving compatibility with OS modernizations and support.  I wanted to open up a conversation about our current MC visualizer plugin support, as well as future integrations between MC and AMP (our next-gen 3D visualization platform currently in development).

To start, it would be great to connect with someone on the MC side that can help me get building again for recent versions of MC.   The MC SDK I have is from many years ago and does not build under VS 2022.  Someone kindly request that Matt A or whomever message me and we hopefully we can work through what's blocking me -- and I can restore support for JRiver MC.

Warm Regards,

Andy O’Meara

Hi Andy.  It's great to see you around!

We haven't changed the visualization SDK for a long time.  We have moved to Visual Studio 2022.

If you want you can send me email.  I'm matt at jriver.

Cheers

+++++1!  this is great news. 

I've been happy with Milkdrop3, but it does not integrate with MC. But even if it did, I love switching things up and G- force and Aeon are very different animals from Milkdrop3 - you can never have enough great visualizers!

Other people seem to be able to get SoundSpectrum to work with MC even now, but I haven't had any success for many years now (even after implementing the very detailed steps provided by the great Marko).  For me, G-force/Aeon are viewable and cycle through different appearances as expected, but simply will not react to music within MC - and I have fiddled endlessly with all sorts of settings to get it to work.

I am looking forward to the updated versions.  Any chance previous SoundSpectrum buyers can get these new versions at the upgrade price as opposed to buying brand-new licenses? I have old G-force/Aeon platinum licenses.  In the past, you have generously provided a one-month trial of your new versions, but I've never been able to get them to work either, so was unwilling to upgrade as a result.

In any event, welcome back in I cannot wait to see your latest efforts.

Andy,

I too am excited to hear about integration with MC.

Please post when this release is out.

Thanks,

Ken

Hi Andy,

I've been waiting a long time for you to update G-Force and Aeon and to integrate them with JRiver.

Please let us know when the new versions will be released.

Hi Andy.  It's great to see you around!

Hi Matt, thanks for your support on getting SoundSpectrum visuals back on track with MC. 

As of now, G-Force, WhiteCap, and Aeon all support MC 30 and later.  I've seen reports visuals not showing up in MC32 (but ok in MC33), so if anyone has any data or insights please let me know.

Also keep an eye out for SoundSpectrum to release Winter Wonders for the holidays which will also have these modernizations. 

Of course, anyone here is welcome to suggest tweaks to make life easier or better for MC specifically -- always happy to improve the experience when possible.

Best,
Andy
