       | 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.

       | 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.

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

       | By far the best tool for music viz is Videobolt
       | (https://videobolt.net/templates/music-
       | visualization?utm_sour...). It has amazing templates, you edit
       | them up in browser, it renders them up for you, you don't need to
       | have custom tools or strong machine for rendering...
       | 
       | Final video is not free though, but unlimited subscription is
       | extremely cheap.

       | 
       | 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

       | Does this need Blender installed?
