I've been experimenting with the excellent Synesthesia visualiser recently, and have to say I'm VERY impressed with what it can do! However...
After extensively testing (two full days) without issues I used the combination for a gig. Synesthesia decided to crash twice then crashed AND locked access to VDJ, which meant a Laptop reboot mid-set.
I know I'm pushing it with using stems and Synesthesia together, but it worked fine for two days. The i7 was capable and the RTX 3060 was hovering around 40% in general use, up to 80-90% for about 15 secs whilst computing stems. The framerate of Synesthesia dropped from between 60-150fps to 15-20fps while computing stems. Not ideal, but useable given the overall effects. (I also have the option of turning off stems of course!).
I output Synesthesia to VDJ as a video FX using Spout.
Another option I have considered is to use XSplit/OBS and Synesthesia on another machine, porting the video output of VDJ to OBS on that. This complicates matters as I would need to get the video to the other machine without much lag, AND access the second machine with remote desktop or similar (proposed machine is a NUC11 Enthusiast RTX2060/i7).
Any ideas how to approach this conundrum? Thanks in advance!
Kind regards, Rob

why not use milkdrop2 by sbdj. 64 bit milkdrop plugin and works fantastic

I shall look into it, but I doubt the features in Synesthesia are available with milkdrop2.
I had many happy years with the original milk drop, but the flexibility and image/video manipulation in Synesthesia are superb! Well worth checking out their YouTube channel if you have not seen what it can do. My only issue is that I've paid a lot for the standard edition, but currently unable to incorporate it.

I am looking into NDI with a second machine for visuals/streaming... hopefully it will be a viable idea!

Wow, I'll stick to the free milkdrop2/64. It's free and looks fantastic.

NDI should give you better results, plus you only need the "Preview" window so it should be less taxing on your system as well.
