Distorted

Distorted is a spherical audio-reactive composition in BeamTracer Audio Visualizers. Shape its response in your browser with settings, audio modulation, presets, and tips.

Default demo track · live audio-reactive settings

Distorted is a spherical audio-reactive composition in the Spheres category. Open it from the left visualizer list, start an audio source, and use the settings panel to shape its response.

Open Distorted

Launch the visualizer with its matching left-nav entry selected.

Quick start

Start the demo track, choose a local audio file, or enable a live input.
Try a preset or style first, then open the section for the part of the image you want to change.
On a control with Assign modulation, open the source picker, choose a signal, and watch the slider's live fill.
Use Reset to Defaults whenever you want to return to the original look.

On a control with Assign modulation, select the activity icon to open Modulate with. Choose a named source, or choose — None to leave the control unmodulated. After you assign one, its name appears below the slider; select that name to edit the route, or use Clear modulation to remove it. The slider track shows the live signal reaching the control.

Modulated control	Section	What the route changes
Noise Scale	Core	Sets the visual noise scale.
Radius Scale	Material	Sets the visible radius scale.
Distort Offset	Material	Controls distort offset; higher values increase the effect and lower values reduce it.
Chromatic Smear	Material	Controls chromatic smear; higher values increase the effect and lower values reduce it.
Noise Speed	Material	Sets how quickly noise changes or moves.
Hue Noise Mix	Material	Sets how irregular or unpredictable the hue noise mix appears.
Clear Hue Speed	Colors	Sets how quickly clear hue changes or moves.
Sky Hue Speed	Colors	Sets how quickly sky hue changes or moves.
Ground Hue Speed	Colors	Sets how quickly ground hue changes or moves.
Background Hue Speed	Colors	Sets how quickly background hue changes or moves.
Time Unit	Animation	Controls time unit; higher values increase the effect and lower values reduce it.
Spring K	Animation	Controls spring k; higher values increase the effect and lower values reduce it.
Spring Drag	Animation	Controls spring drag; higher values increase the effect and lower values reduce it.

Some controls appear only after you enable a related mode or style. The settings panel always reflects the options available for the current selection.

Tips for a better audio visualization

Keep the base shape readable and use bass for deformation; add highs to glow or surface detail as a secondary response.
Try assigning Bass to Noise Scale, then compare Mid, High, and Volume while the demo track plays. The slider's live fill shows the signal reaching that control.
