The gifs look great, but it would be cool to see what this visualisation looks like with audio (ideally without having to join a discord server). Maybe the authors could choose a best-case-scenario audio track and use it as a demo.

It would also be great if a generic Linux executable could be provided, for those of us who don't run Debian-based distros.

Seconded, I have a few cyberdeck projects in mind built into old boomboxes. I'd love a visualizer that could be run on a Pi and PiZero. I'm not familiar enough with linux to know if it would work with the distros I plan to use.

No license, no code. Not much to go by except binaries and pictures.

What are the pre-requisites for running this?

I downloaded the .dmg but I get "Error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'qm-vamp-plugins')"

Does this need Blender installed?

I have tried a few different systems for audio visualization. The first I ever used was on a ZX Spectrum. I remember it to be uber cool. For what it was working with hardware wise it was a stunning achievement.

What I dont like in what I tried so far is the "Pick a template".

That goes boring really fast for me. I want it to evolve, to change, make it a journey instead of just repeating variations on a graphical "template"

I think AI (oh I hate using that term) bots could do a lot of cool stuff in this space.

When asked where the source is, the OP replied “not published yet. struggling with github actions to build binaries for platforms limited to version bump and specific branch to avoid quota limits.”

What? Just release the source dude, as others have pointed out, it’s fishy and weird to release a binary just sitting alone in a repo.

its not open source? I don't see the code on the github link.

"If you create and new template your are invited to share it with community or at least a showcase on our discord server. I am very excited to see what a real blender artist could do with this software ."

They are more than happy for you to share with them though

A really nicely laid out landing page. It managed to convey what it is and what it does at a glance.

I wonder why the songs beats are only from 1-4

call me old school... but why is this even on github? there's no code... just a README (an advertisement?) with a tutorial and a link to download a binary blob

this feels like some kind of 'guerrilla advertisement' or something, piggybacked into github for no reason other than (what seems to be) "PR"-style reasoning

The binary is hosted on GitHub too, so it's likely a way to save on hosting costs.
