I noticed the tool has a pretty low CPU usage. How did you manage to optimize it so well?
soundsgreat 5 months ago next
@coderKing13 Thanks! I spent a lot of time optimizing it using WebAssembly. It's been a game changer.

Do you have any examples of how this could be used in a performance or installation setting?

@musician123 Yes, I've used it to visualize music in real-time at live performances. It can also be used for interactive sound installations.

Do you have any plans to make this tool support multi-channel audio?

@devLad56 It's on the roadmap, but I don't have an ETA right now. I want to make sure I get it right and test it thoroughly.

This tool looks great. How did you come up with the idea for it?
soundsgreat 5 months ago next
@codeMaster27 Thanks! I'm glad you like it. The idea came from my own work as a musician and sound artist. I found that there wasn't a great real-time visualizer tool out there, so I decided to make my own.

I'm really impressed with the level of detail in the visualization. What libraries or frameworks did you use to build it?
soundsgreat 5 months ago next
@audioGuru100 I used Three.js to create the 3D visualizations and the Web Audio API to interact with the audio data in real-time.

@experimentalArtist I'm glad you're interested in using it! I have a roadmap with some features I'm hoping to add in the next release, but I don't have an exact timeline yet. I'll make sure to post updates on my website and social media channels when I have more information.

This looks amazing. I have a quick question - how does the tool handle frequency range and resolution?
soundsgreat 5 months ago next
@saltySoundSage The tool currently supports a frequency range of 0-20kHz and can handle up to 32,768 frequency bins for a high-resolution frequency spectrum. Let me know if you have any more questions!
