Not all presets are as reactive to the beat of the music, but worth checking these settings!

thanks, the second one i did too, will check the first.
what do you mean with the latest command? i have as a slider 'loudness threshold' in 'hard cuts' tab and under these 'disable hard cuts' which is checked.

for what i have understood works like this: an hard cut will enable with a given time of low sound and a subsequent sudden sound increase upper threshold, i guess they should be enable for a smoother visualization. i will wait on your tests however :)http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=56775
That's a pretty good find, especially with a post from "geiss" the actual Nullsoft Visualization Developer, but I've read through it a couple of times now and still not sure if 'hard cuts' should be checked or not :o
I'll play some Dub-Step tracks tomorrow and try with both and see what happens!

ok so hard cuts are actually sudden changes from one preset to the other driven by a major sensitivity trigger as opposed to soft cuts which change on regular time base.
loudness threshold is the level of sensitivity.
i have enabled hard cuts for the sake of the hype and set the threshold to 15 (max=20) but also increased the avg time between them (120)
edit: well, after a few more tests i've decided to cut in half the delay time between hard cuts and double the soft cuts instead, and i think i will double it a second time. it is getting prettier.
edit2: if you keep on playing with all these values the result will be amazingly trippy :)
3 hours later i think i finally got my definitive settings: https://imgur.com/a/CmeysdO
it is absolute killer to me like that. let me know of possible accurate and tested improvements over that one if there can be any. ;)
3 hours later i think i finally got my definitive settings: https://imgur.com/a/CmeysdOTo be honest, I could be fiddling with this until forever, and I have admit that the transition settings you have (from the image) that I tried to today, do make a significant difference to the output, however, I think I will probably stick to my current 'maladjusted' version of the original default, as least for now.

The actual code in the presets, of which there are hundreds, seems effect the reactiveness, a lot..
If you want to try what I'm using:-
18.0
9.0
2.7
1.8
60.0
About a 1/3rd of the way from 'min'
Disabled hard cuts = CHECKED

presets activity are independent of preset changes.
But then some of the presets have a very low or none reactive setting, and when it's their turn to get a milking, you just see a black screen. So I thought I would see which ones they were, so I get get rid.what does it mean when it it is their turn to get a milking they show a black screen?
You guys are quite buzzzy with this. Out of curiosity: any chance of a gif so we can see how this looks in action?

Not one of my videos, but would give you an idea as to what we are looking at, in my case on a 55" TV, while we are enjoying listening to MB playlist..

Thanks Freddy. Are mushrooms included?
on the contrary i get completely white presets sometimes, like an excess of light. but i think your problem could also rest upon os and videocard architecture, i'm on win 7 x64 and didn't see almost any black screenBut then some of the presets have a very low or none reactive setting, and when it's their turn to get a milking, you just see a black screen. So I thought I would see which ones they were, so I get get rid.what does it mean when it it is their turn to get a milking they show a black screen?
Simply that when some of the presets get randomly selected by 'Milkdrop', I only see a blank (usually black) screen, for the duration of that specific preset, when it should be making nice trippy patterns.
I'm hypothesizing that those presets are lacking some bit of code that controls its reaction to the sound output, so I would like to check those out or delete them..
Freddy
anyway, there isn't only milkdrop in winamp, avs is another different huge repository of presets.
