How do I use the Lumin Audio application from GGG?
unclet:
I received my LEDWiz and tested it out by connecting one blue LED light to the PCB. I then started the main LEDWiz software, selected "LumAura Control", selected the circle corresponding to the port the LED light was plugged into and I saw it shined a nice blue color. I also read the "PreliminaryDocsSubset.txt" file and understand how a LWA file can be configured.
Now, I would like to be able to use the "Lumin Audio software" to make my lights dance to the music produced by my computer, however, I have no idea how to do this. Will someone please tell me exactly what I need to do to make my one connected blue LED light dance to the music? I would assume if I get this one LED light to "dance" then connecting more LED lights eventually will be easy.
I just have no idea what the relationship between the main LEDWiz software and the Lumin Audio software is ........ what is the secret?
I open the "Lumin Audio" software and have no idea what to do ....
RandyT:
The apps are stand-alone. No relationship, other than that you can define an animation in the editor and then use it in the LuminAudio software.
If you do a search on LuminAudio, you should find a post in the software section where I have walked a couple of folks through its operation.

I have seen your main post which announced the Lumin-Audio software:

... however I do not understand exactly what needs to be done to get the LED lights to dance. Since they are standalone applications, am I correct to assume I simply need to do the following two steps to see the LED lights dance?
1) start the Lumin-Audio application
2) Play music on my PC
The post (I link to above) states the following:
--- Quote ---The newly added LWA file support, coupled with the new Delay and Decay sliders, will open up things for mono-LED users quite a bit though

... but I have no idea what the "LWA Link", Decay and Delay stuff does. Based on your comment in this post it seems the "LWA link" is used to select a LWA file, but I am not quite sure why someone would do this if you wanted your LED lights to dance to the music. Basically, why define a LWA file with how you want your lights to blink when you just want them to blink with the current song being played? I clearly am missing a thing or two ..... or three.
I have not started a song on my computer yet while the Lumin Audio software is running .... perhaps this is my main problem. I have just been trying to wire the LED lights and test that they work using the main LEDWiz software. I have not put them on a computer which has music on it yet. Must I start music in order to see anything happen in the LuminAudio software? I am trying to figure out what needs to be done by reading stuff. Maybe that is my problem .....I should be spending more time with the software ....

From my understanding of Randy's software, that is exactly what you need to do.

Well I guess I was trying to read too much before actually "doing" ..... so I guess I will load some music on my computer to properly test this eventually. Thanks
