![]() ![]() Comparable DAW packages go for $500-1500 depending on the license.Īnd apparently WinAMP 6.0 is due to be released soon. The installer for the entire program is smaller than the save files of most DAWs and the full license costs about 70 bucks. REAPER is fast becoming known for being pretty wizardly. Thrift store price? $5 Original retail price? Over $5k!įYI some of the folks who were WinAMP are now working on REAPER, a digital audio workstation. I have an old high end business class 3M VGA projector a friend found at a thrift store sitting on my desk right now awaiting repair. At least not at the nearly zero latency to audio reactions you can get out of WinAMP and a pure VGA computer and display solution.Īnd projectors with VGA instead of HDMI or, ugh, USB inputs are also getting harder and harder to find. Yeah, HDMI has plenty of bandwidth and frame rates for excellent quality high def video but there's a bunch of old VGA video tricks and magic that you can't really do without direct access VGA hardware, video memory and modes. It makes me happy that there is work being done to preserve and update these early visualization plugins because stuff like WinAMP + AVS is getting left behind by Windows 10, and it's getting increasingly more difficult to find a functional yet portable computer that can run XP or older versions of Windows, that can handle WinAMP and AVS at high frame rates and also do legacy VGA video to make it all go. I might have to bring Milkdrop out to play, but I have a handful of really nice AVS scripts I like because of how artistic and reactive they are and not just random swirly eye candy. I still use Winamp 2.93 with AVS for DJ gigs and shows and it still blows minds. ![]()
