    Hey Guys!

    Just wanted to show off a little visualizer I put together the other day. It uses the frequency spectrum and output data of an audio track to modify a line renderer. It then applies some smoothing and other effects (like combining it with a volume-based sine wave) to give it the pulsing, liquid-like effect and smooth out some of the uglier noise jumps. Add in some post-processing to make it flashy and neon, random rotation, and cycling color schemes and you have yourself a visualizer!

    I'm pretty happy with how it came out - check out the samples I made with a couple of songs:
    Little Secrets (Passion Pit)
    Electric Feel (MGMT)
    Can't Stop (Flux Pavilion)
    Good Feeling (Flo Rida)

    You can download the code here (includes some image effects by default).

    @SevenBits it just uses Unity's standard AudioSource.GetSpectrumData, so it should accept any format which works in Unity.

    Very nice resource! I've been trying to find and/or create something like this but I'm just not good enough with coding, so this is a good find! Thanks!

    I'm glad you guys like it! I might update it a bit to add some improvements/fix some problems I found in it. I'm not sure when I'll have the chance to finish it up and package it, though.

    Hey man I really admire the visualizer you made and really wanted the song and visualizer. I got the song myslef easy but the code to your visualizer isn't working anymore just like zentaiguy said. If you could fix it that would be awesome and very appreciated.
