▲Open source 160 sound visualization experiments (kagan.in)
Jaxan 16 days ago [-]
As someone who grew up with Milkdrop, these seem a bit dull/minimalistic.
kaganin 14 days ago [-]
fair enough
mikodin 16 days ago [-]
Wow, these are beautiful! Are you open to others using these in applications? There is no license in the repo so I am unsure :)
gausswho 16 days ago [-]
The repo has a LICENSE that declares MIT. Bottom of README.md does too, with some caveats about fonts.
mikodin 16 days ago [-]
Ah, thank you! I did a quick cmd+f search, and realized now upon seeing your comment that it's one of those words that I consistently misspell!
gausswho 15 days ago [-]
I do too, all the time.
kaganin 14 days ago [-]
glad you liked it! let me know if you end-up doing something <3

None of these help me understand what the sound is like because they’re all time-domain which runs way too fast for humans to intuit. Visualizations in the frequency domain are a lot more natural.

A lot of them have degrees of freedom which are wasted instead of being used to convey more information. For example, the "vector scope" visualization appears to just be some sort of Lissajous figure, whose scale is the only thing controlled by the sound.

Overall I agree I don't "see" a lot in most of these, but there are actually a few spectral visualizations in there that are a bit more telling
kaganin 14 days ago [-]
appreciate the feedback!

On mobile when I scroll few pages down while only looking at images, it is impossible to tell if caption is above or below image, where it belongs.
herrherrmann 16 days ago [-]
I guess you cannot see the almost-invisible borders of the images. They group the image and text together a bit better. But yeah, the design fails to be accessible in less ideal viewing conditions for sure.
kaganin 16 days ago [-]
thanks for the feedback! i’ve increased the spacing on mobile, so it should be clearer now which caption belongs to each animation.

It hurts me that 160 sound visualizations later I am less interested in sound than I would've been with one, just one, compelling viz.

Can you make them all move on repeat for a sine sweep followed by some misc transients
kaganin 14 days ago [-]
yup, will do it!
Keyframe 16 days ago [-]
would be helpful to hear the sound as the viz goes by.
kaganin 14 days ago [-]
will add this!

This is sweet, love the aesthetic.
kaganin 16 days ago [-]
thanks a bunch!
