Time based audio visualizer (low priority)

Listening to a track, I can see each track element's waveform on the visualizer. If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's like FL Studio, up top? yah. We need this in app in a position of our choice, possibly sharing space with the meter in the bottom, or sitting up top with the track controls. Thank you for your time!

Edit: there is a similar feature request, but it requests a device.

Let me see if I understand what you're asking for. You want a spectral heatmap, creating a record of how intense each frequency is at each point in time?

If he is asking for this I imagine it would be cpu intensive to render this adjacent during playback

What's the purpose of that device (despite looking cool ;)? How would it help you to make music?
It would consume space and we're already pushing the browser's capabilities to its limit.

It would be helpful even if it couldn't render in real time, to be honest.

It's really good for mixing and mastering. Seeing visually where frequencies are strongest gives better insight into the soundspace voices occupy. Having this be an additional view that we could optionally generate would be a huge boon, in my opinion.

So is he asking for a single waveform or multiple spectra? Real-time or post-processed?
I guess I need a pic or video to understand that request.

whats wrong with sticking a Curve on the master? does the same job no?

I wouldn't say it does the same job. The real time visualization isn't the same kind of information as a histogram.

oh my bad i thought he meant a simple spectrum visualizer. I just find it easier to extrapolate freq relationships with 'regular' visualizers, so to speak

2019-02-13 16:47 · 2019-02-13

yes, but i want it like FL

2019-02-13 16:48 · 2019-02-13

a option for audio histogram or

whats the FL Studio thing called???

2019-02-13 16:49 · 2019-02-13

that visualizer

low priority meaning it would be nice to have sometime
