Every once in a while a seemingly pointless computing question of mine becomes an obsession.
This week, that question is, “Whatever happened to music visualizers?
And can I still use one?”
These days, though?
But Apple is alone on this.
Amazon Music and YouTube Music don’t have anything, either.
You might think this is where where my research should have stopped.
We had something amazing and we lost it.
To get started, download the tool and launch it.
The visualizer will start immediately, though there will be a pop-up explaining the keyboard shortcuts offered.
you’re free to use the arrow keys to switch between different animations.
you’re able to also fire up the prefs by pressingCtrl+S.
From here, you could set which audio source to use and fine tune the graphics a little bit.
MilkyMilky works around this by using your microphone, which isn’t exactly ideal, but it works.
(It’s up to you to decide whether that’s overkill just to use Milkdrop.)
It’s also ideally something a little bit trippy.
I’ve been enjoying putting on Magdalena Bay’s most recent albumit fits extremely well.
If your tastes are less modern, though, you probably can’t go wrong with Pink Floyd.
Mostly I’m glad I can stop obsessively researching this.
