FoxBox 1.4.0
FoxBox 1.4.0: VISUALS
LIVE is now VISUALS: make visuals and promo videos for your music, or run them live.
New
- Audio source:
- TRACK: your song, with SPLIT STEMS. Drums, bass, vocals and other are separated on your Mac (HT-Demucs, about 15× real time), so every layer can react to its own stem.
- LIVE INPUT: your DJ output from an audio interface (e.g. your mixer's USB record out) or Mac system audio.
- MIC: the voice mask, as before. A track plays without your mic; press ARM MIC to talk over it.
- Base layer: nothing, the track's waveform, the voice core, the camera (faces hidden), a photo, or a video.
- Effects: stack styles and filters over the base, each with its own opacity, blend mode and the stem it reacts to.
- FOXBOX, MILKDROP and SHADERS styles, plus 10 new filters that work on the picture beneath: RGB split, datamosh, kaleidoscope, pixel sort, halftone, VHS, trails, thermal, edge glow, zoom pulse.
- SAVE CLIP: renders the drop, the whole song or a bar range as a 9:16, 16:9 or 1:1 MP4, frame-accurate, in sync and several times faster than real time, with the watermark. It saves into your exports folder (Clips) with drag-out.
- REC LIVE: records the stage as you play. Pick THE DROP and it plays the drop and records exactly that, so with the CAMERA base you film yourself (face hidden) through it.
- Sync to Rekordbox: Ableton Link locks the visuals to your decks' tempo and beat. Turn Link on in rekordbox's Performance mode.
Notes
- SPLIT STEMS needs a one-time 84 MB download (offered in place the first time).
- Mac system audio as an input needs macOS 14.2+ and asks once for System Audio Recording permission. An audio interface input needs no permission.
- Link may ask once to accept incoming network connections.
Updating from 1.3.x: it installs in the app as a small (~15 MB) update.
