Freaquencies

Description
Some abstract representation with waves and star/blob/whatever shapes. Responsive to audio but will animate without as well.

Options:
- Can turn stars off or set to 1 of 15 patterns.
- Can change background color. Background can be a solid color or a 2 or 3 color gradient.
- Can turn off the random colors and change color of almost everything individually ( be warned: its a lot of colors! )
- Some other minor things



Not reacting to audio
Check the sticky, it mentions several reasons for wallpapers not reacting to audio.

My guess would be that WE needs the audio device to be set to "Default device" or whatever is called instead of a specific device selected. Or it sounds like something like that. But best to ask forum about it if the problem remains as you will get more and possibly better help then I can give.

Welp, i noticed that it only reacts to it when i play music thru my speakers but it just wont work with my headphones. Any wallpaper though, not just yours.

Check the volume in windows volume mixer for the volume of wallpaper engine and that its maxed out. Check the audio device that is selected in WE. And otherwise check the sticky linked in the description. Don't really know more about it then that.

Any idea why your wallpaper doesent react to my audio? I checked the audio recording but its still just the default animation

Found more info .. in short .. we probably wont be able to do it .. They seem to have a lot more precision in their data .. But some of the vids did give me some nice ideas for audio wallpapers based on those aftereffect plugins ( or whatever they were )

I see they created that with aftereffects, and it does seem to be based off the real music, but it does look like its been manipulated somehow but can put my finger on it ..

Kind of. But not really what i'm searching for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rxwkVexREM Here you can see them really good, there are those curves going all over the ball when the beat drops. That kind of effect, and i want it to do that, even though WE probably provides too less audio samples, but maybe you can tell it to do that on heavy beats.

Well kinda :) It 'slides' better with all the "blurring" :) Compare it to the source data by setting the source data color to something that isnt black.

Pancakes .. I think my audio guide wallpaper one might do a bit what you want .. check this one ..

With your video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ6XpUz2RmA

And the settings ( for the audio guide wallpaper ):
Source Data Color: black ( to hide it )
Normalize: on ( speed: max )
Smoothing: on ( amount: max )
Motionblur: on ( amount: 50% )
Power: 'val ^ 2' or 'val ^ 3'

That is the "wave" like effect you meant right?

If (audio.possibleinjava==true) { System.out.println("Maybe i could give it a shot...");

else System.out.println("i can't even kill myself in java.. pls help :(");
}
