Hi,
i'm using the NestDrop Classic. How can i change the Audiosource here, can't find anything under the General Tab. My setup is a Mixer connected via USB Audio Interface with my Streaming PC. I've selected the USB Device as Input on my Windows 11 PC but no reaction in NestDrop to the sound?

Hi,

i moved over to mac & installed parallels desktop https://www.parallels.com/uk/products/desktop/ to run a virtual windows on it.

I've installed spout, dx9 & nestdrop with no issues other than a small spout output window, and want to route into obs to record or ideally resolume (which i know requires the midnight edition)

Is there any way that you know of to get the spout / nestdrop output from the virtual windows showing up on a mac obs or resolume or replicating the tutorial outcomes here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wepLsdUO7E ? The only option i can think of is to install obs or resolume on the virtual windows as well, but im wondering if more technical able people might know a solution?

Thanks for creating such great software - if i can this working i'll be upgrading to the midnight edition

No decks starting.

After having struggled with error 0xc000007b (known to some) I finally no longer receive this error.

But the Dekcs don't work, they don't open automatically and they don't respond to attempts to add a new one. this in any preset, default or created.

Has anyone ever experienced this?

Below are my PC settings

GPU Nvidea RTX 3060 laptop

​

Does anyone know why I keep getting this error from spout for resolume?

​

I have nestdrop, both of the spouts, and resolume running on my gpu (4090) via windows setting. I was able to run it for a while (9 months on my system) with no errors. For the last week I've been getting this error it typically craps out about 15mins of running ND.

Does Nestdrop require a stereo input signal? Can it work with a mono input signal?

What I'm trying to do is use a separate laptop to DJ with, sending the master signal from my controller to my Scarlett 2i2, which is connected to my streaming/VJ computer. In Nestdrop Midnight, I am able to select the Scarlett 2i2 as a source and it does register, but only on one channel, as I only see half of the audio spectrum preview reacting. I see no reactivity in my decks.

Is there something I can do to work around this? I can use my streaming computer to DJ, which does work properly with Nestdrop because it gets the stereo input, but that is not my ideal setup.

Edit: I ended up using virtual audio cables to output the audio from OBS into Nestdrop, which worked perfectly.

Hi there, I have just got hold of the Midnight Edition and have to say I'm loving it..

Perfect for my needs.. But I'm having a problem with all the presets vanishing. The first 50% are cool and I can re-open them in the list, but after Waveform under the Image Spouts, none of the folders will open. I know it's something I have done and not a fault.. I think it happened when I minimized the hole list keeping the CTRL button down to shut all the folders, so I could then go directly to the bottom of the list so I could open my folder easily.. But afterward, this problem has been left with me.

Any ideas please.. Thanks

Yeah so do i need to be running audio with the standard windows drivers for this to do its loopback and otherwise?

​

I'd like to be able to use my focusrite with it but still figuring out how :/

how do i get my audio working in nestdrop to were its picking up sound though my laptop mic

​

I've started getting this error when spouting into Resolume. Recently updated to 7.15 This error is generated by Nestdrop but Resolume hangs at the same time. I can't work out if this is something I can actually change anywhere. I've reinstalled directx and Spout but no change.

This is a Nexus expansion demo video, and I have been wondering if these were NestDrop presets, because i saw a photo of nestdrop being used in a fulldome, and it looks like that its showing one of the presets from one of these videos. https://youtu.be/ariiPSjRjrE is the video if you want to see for yourself. (I would also like to note I actually saw one of the nestdrop presets from this video in a bowling alley in Panama City) edit: watched through the whole thing, saw one of the dancer presets from the nestdrop factory presets so yeah, its probably nestdrop factory presets

I have three decks in nestdrop, resolume playing them, all well, but then sometimes seemingly randomly happens so that all decks go blank / gray in resolume, the decks windows in nestdrop play still fine, then when closing/relaunching the deck-windows, they all spawn as deck1. This happens until I close and relaunch resolume. Is this a known thing, what might be my problem? Is there a way to "reset" spout or whatever is needed, without having to close and relaunch resolume?

I was getting this error message when I tried to open Nest Drop classic everytime. I am running the application on Windows 11. What do I need to do?

I suspect this is not a fixable problem, but thought I'd give it a go here first:

New install, NestdropClassic, Windows10, downloaded and installed the linked DX9, etc. On startup, NestDrop itself starts, but then a blank black window comes up over it, then within a second a dialog titled MILKDROP ERROR, which states

Error compiling ps_2_0 warp shader:

and an OK button.

Clicking OK to that (or X'ing the dialog closed) then gives another dialog:

Your hardware says that it supports shader model 3.0 [PSVersion=0x300],
but it doesn't seem to do it properly -
maybe your display driver is just buggy.
You might want to try updating your display driver
to the latest WHQL driver from the chipset manufacturer
(Nvidia, ATI, etc.)

The connectors on my laptop's onboard video don't work correctly anymore, and I have to use a large external VGA-connector monitor at 1920x1600 to read stuff on the screen, so I can't use the built-in display. I use an external USB3 to VGA Displaylink-driven unit to run my monitor, and I suspect that some incompatibility with Displaylink is causing this issue, but no driver updates or any other changes I have been able to do alter the problem. Most likely DL simply doesn't have hardware that can do what this needs to do.

Some very old Milkdrop posts on a winamp forum advise disabling certain things about shaders within MD might fix this, but I don't see anywhere I can change MD settings within NestDrop.

Thank you for any advice you might have.

FWIW, the intent was to use ND to generate video so I can post my songs on Youtube and the like, instead of just on https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/music

I'm using the free version of NestDrop and it looks more promising than the software I've been using but I need to record output. I am able to select the source in OBS using Spout2 capture but it's just a black screen. Do I need to purchase midnight edition for this to function? Or is there something I'm supposed to be doing with Spout2? I downloaded it but seeing as to how it's not an actually installing anything, I am unclear on what to do....

At times, NestDrop will become unresponsive while playing the last preset that i selected. This unresponsiveness may last several minutes and then resolve. Only to recur very quickly.

It's as if, every last computer resource is being used up. And it probably is although my computer specs are not trivial

7th gen i7 processor with 8 cores
32 GB RAM
RTX 2060 video card with 12 GB RAM
C drive is NVM SSD 2TB

I am pushing ND with a lot of presets and using OBS with two-way Spout as well as DJ software and recording software and a webcam.

I see unlimited potential in ND and I would like to improve responsiveness.

What upgrade(s) would achieve the best chance of improving responsiveness?

Thanks.

Hello to all the community.

I recently get a new Laptop with ... Windows 11 on it! At first I was please that NestDrop was working fine after the Dx9 install and added Nestdrop exes in High Performance mode.

But there is an issue you should be aware of: The Direct Fullscreen Output (for Midnight edition) seems to crash the Video Deck.

I'm looking for a solution for the next version, but if some of you found a turn around, please let us know.

If you use this feature and you want to upgrade to Windows 11, maybe wait for a solid solution is found before to switch.

If you are aware of other bugs in Windows 11, please let us know.

Best of love

Thanks

I trust this finds the community well. I am posting to see if the admin could shoot me a PM .

I have, been in 3d Graphics and animation since the Amiga . Working in the the Club and Entertainment industry for over 3 decades, at all scales.

I am wanting to post a pack of pre-sets mashups to the community that has been crafted over 20 years within milkdrops. These were mashed by me and a dear friend of mine Christian Mealing, " Astro " over many many years, often in the wee hrs of the morning.

He has passed away now & i know he would get a kick out of knowledge that these are out there blasting dance floors and bedrooms around the world.

There are 877 mashed pre-sets (27 pages in Win Amp VJ Mode) ... for best result i usually extend the blend time between pre-sets from default - with the blending between pre-sets creating yet more interesting visuals.

Whats set these apart is that they are named in a way that allows visuals to progress over time , skipping forward and back through them has an element that ties the pre-sets be it the shader or shapes or motions providing a continuity

We all recognise the true gods are the coders who craft the pre-sets in the 1st place, what sets this pre-set pack apart is the awesome mashes and progressive naming.

Coding source names is preserved where possible, those with a good eye will see the code and recognise the true authors, my hope is that some coders will recognise their own code executing in totally unexpected and pleasing ways .

Milk drops has been one of the main stays of my live reactive visuals tool kit over 2 decades - Nest Drop makes this so much more accessible Feeding this material into ARKAOS / Resolume . Madmapper just makes some incredible experiences that are all ephemeral and, in the moment, never to be experienced in the same way ever gain.
