Wrong cover art in spectrum
« on: June 23, 2013, 08:04:12 am »

Hey there forum,
I'm creating a visualisation in the visualisation studio today, but I've been hopelessly stuck for a few hours now..
the visualisation consists of:
Flush
Spectrum Analyzer (cover art)
Layer (blend)
  Layer (blend)
    Spectrum Analyzer (cover art)
    Text
    Super Transform
code below.

The problem is that the second spectrum analyzer keeps displaying the first cover, not the cover of the song playing. This resets if I refresh the window. Is this because the spectrum is layered? What can I do to get rid of it?

UPDATE:
By fooling around with the parameters a bit, I've come to the conclusion that this problem is caused because the second spectrum analyzer
is only on once every 10 frames, there is a 10% chance that it loads the correct image..
However, if I have the spectrum always on, my super transform won't work...

I solved the problem! By putting the spectrum analyzer on "always on", and giving it a transparent color 9 out of 10 frames. Topic closed I'd say.
