I have a usb camera (microsoft lifecam) that has a blue light on top of it that comes on when its in use (skype or whatever)…
The strange thing is that when I open renoise, the light comes on. It just seemed weird to me that renoise would be activating the usb ports.
Is it supposed to do that (is Renoise scanning for compatible audio hardware) or is it taking pictures of me as I work
It’s probably just scanning for MIDI devices… but… you must check if there’s a shady van with a satellite antenna next to your house… WITH RENOISE LOGO ON SIDE!
If the webcam has a built-in microphone then Renoise will try to use it as an audio input. It probably lights up when anything tries to access some part of its available hardware.
