Help & Support

1. The sound is playing, but I see a message to play audio.

Try restarting the app. If the problem persists, please contact us at . Also, you might have set input mode to microphone. Read question 3 or restart the app.

2. Does the app record surrounding audio or audio that is playing internally? - NO

No, no recording is being done. The app detects sound levels (as a series of numeric values from 0 to 256) and those values are then transformed into visual moving graphics. There's no recording involved in the process.

However, record mode does record the internal audio along with the visualizer and includes it in the exported video. The recording is saved locally only, for your use.

3. How do I change the input source?

Esc to open the menu, then click sound source and click the dropdown to change between internal and microphone then you can select which microphone you want - but choose a physical one, not a virtual one.

4. (Windows): How do I enable microphone access if I pressed cancel the first time I was asked - for the microphone source mode:

5. (MacOS): How do I enable microphone access if I pressed cancel the first time I was asked - for the microphone source mode:

The microphone mode works with microphones (or headphones that have mics on them) but they need to be on Bluetooth or USB. Please make sure the microphone/headphones are connected, or if you connected them after selecting mic mode, click the blue button: "Refresh Microphones List", then select the microphone you want to use.

5. How does it work?

The app detects sound levels (as a series of numeric values from 0 to 256) and those values are then transformed into visual moving graphics. There's no recording involved in the process. And if you change the input source to a microphone, it's the same - the app detects the sound levels, it doesn't need to record sounds to show the graphics.

6. What do you mean there are 2 modes for each visualizer?

Yes, each visualizer has two modes/styles. Toggle between modes by pressing the Z key inside the app.

7. What are the supported devices and operating systems?

The app runs on Windows 10, Windows 11 and macOS. The app will run on any device, but it being a resource heavy app, you need a more performant desktop. See details in the store.

8. Is there a Mac version?

Yes! Download it in the download section!

9. Does the app use the microphone or record audio?

No, no recording is being done. See 1st question - how it works. The app DOES use the microphone if you set the source to microphone mode in settings. But even then, it does not record sound, it only detects levels as numeric values.

However, record mode does record the internal audio along with the visualizer and includes it in the exported video. The recording is saved locally only, for your use.

10. Is it free?

I wish it were free, but - no, unfortunately it can't be, since there are development and distribution costs.

11. Can you add x visualizer?

I can certainly look into it, and if it's something that can be done performantly and results in something visually appealing, I might include it in future updates. Contact me with your ideas.

12. Can you develop a custom visualizer for me/my company?

We can talk about it. Contact me with your ideas.

13. Is there a mobile version of this?

Not at this point, and there's no plan to develop one, since most people enjoy music on their phones without wanting to look at the screen.

14. I ran into some issues with the app.
