how did you do this and does it need specialist ram?
also rlly cool bro
thanks! and sorry for the late reply
it's actually pretty simple. there's probably a better way to do this, but i used a video editing software and this RGB software called 'SignalRGB'
signalRGB allows you to control all of your RGB in one single application. also make sure your RAM is supported or else it won't work with signalRGB; you can see if it's supported here: https://signalrgb.com/devices/
then you're gonna download images of colors you want to use
in your video editing software, create a new project. i use davinci resolve for this; it's free
you're gonna want to set the frame rate to something high like 60 FPS so you can make more precise adjustments to make the RGB sync perfectly with the music. if you're using davinci resolve, go to File > Master Settings > Timeline Format. there, you'll be able to change the timeline frame rate
go back to signalRGB and customize the screen ambience effect. go to 'layout', and position your RGB RAM within the black box (idk what to call this, i'll just call it black box) shown in the image above. if you have 2 RAM sticks, position one stick on the left side of the black box, and the other stick on the right side, as shown in the image below. the RAM is going to light up to display the color(s) of whatever it's on top of
grab a song you want to use, and drag it onto your project. trim the audio however you want or need.
take the images of the colors you want to use, and drag them onto your project. crop and position each color as needed, so they are correctly displayed to the RAM you want the colors to be displayed on, if that makes sense. you can experiment with different shades of colors to see how the RGB RAM would display them
@glad thistle here's a video i made, demonstrating how it works. hopefully this explains it better
also, for faster songs where the colors need to update at a faster speed, you're gonna need to slow down the original audio along with the timeline, then speed up the result afterward. this is because the lights and/or RGB software can't keep up if the colors and stuff are changing too quickly, causing the result to look weird
the thing i made for 'brain power' is actually x2 sped up. i recorded it playing at half the original speed so the lights can actually keep up, then sped it back up to the original speed afterward
