SPIRAL BLOOM in the BeamTracer retro visualizer collection

The glow, the afterimages, the pleasure of finding a look that fits a song: this collection celebrates the era when listening to an MP3 meant watching the screen, too.

Start with a factory look, then take the camera through the scene. Bend waveforms into depth, blend between formations, or add stars to make the space around the music visible.

Use a Winamp-style visualizer with Spotify or YouTube with the step-by-step tab-audio guide.

SEE IT IN ACTION

From a blank tab to your first sound-reactive visual: play the demo track, pick a visualizer, capture your own music, customize live. Follow along in the written guide or browse all tutorial videos.

WHAT IT DOES

A DIFFERENT REACTION FOR EVERY DETAIL

Route bass, mids, highs and other audio signals to separate controls. Let one bend the waveform while another spreads the echoes or moves the camera.

MOVE THROUGH THE MUSIC

Choose a camera view and motion path. Adjust travel and scene depth, then add an optional starfield for a sense of distance.

LOOKS WORTH PASSING AROUND

Open a factory look directly from this page. COPY LOOK LINK shares the original look and its audio reactions, so a friend can start from the same place.
