Description
Realtime music visualizer for your Windows desktop! See demo videos on YouTube
1. Get Rainmeter for free from rainmeter.net
2. Download the skin from the right side of this page. If nothing downloads, right-click > "Open link in new tab"
3. Open the file with the green raindrop icon and click "Install" in the pop-up window
4. Left-click on the spectrum to customize settings.
v2.3 (24 Apr 2016) Full changelog - Cross-referenced changes from Fountain of Colors. Performance tweaks.
To increase precision and performance, decrease your audio device's sampling rate. Right-click volume tray icon > "Playback devices" > Follow this image
If you're updating from an older version and feel that the audio output is mistimed or unimproved, you might need to go to the settings window to apply "reset audio settings..." and tweak it from there.
If it doesn't show on the desktop, try the following:
• Open Volume Mixer and check if Rainmeter's volume is unmuted
• In the skin's installer window, check the box "Load included skins"
• In the skin's settings window, set the skin to use a different audio device
• Disable external software with sound processing and effects such as MSI Nahimic

Is there any possibility of a circular version of this being made? I love the design of it I just kinda wanted to put a round version of it on the corner of my desktop to complete a theme. I thank you in advance if you are kind enough to do this.

Very Nice Visualizer Skin!!!!!
Check out how I "edited" for my liking. I basically put 3 frost with clones and changed their colors.
Is there a way to change colors within the visualizer? without cloning doubles?

Here’s the mail I got recently for my problem
Yeah, well.... This is a week old computer and I have been getting the system service exception constantly.... it is definitely related to Internet because that's when it happens... no idea what is causing it but it is continual. Hope Microsoft figures this out.... seems I'm not the only one... I am an IT manager so not an idiot when it comes to the computer.
Or otherwise try this: www.deskdecode.com/system-serv…

The ocean visualizer has an angle slider to adjust the angle by something other than 90, can we have that in this as well please?
For some reason the ocean visualizer crashes rainmeter whenever it loads

is it possible to use only the browser for the visualizer?

Beautiful! Your effort really is appreciated.
Now, for your next trick, perhaps bass notes could be one color, treble another and midrange something between?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the bass could be a bit darker* yeah that would look dope

Would it be possible to make it go around in a circle? I looked at the code and I have no clue where to begin if I tried myself.
Also, this visualizer is by far the BEST of any other I've seen. It's creative, artistic, and still simple.

Hello, sorry to bother but i have a problem configuring this: each time i open frost settings window, 1 CPU core goes 100% and rainmeter just freezes for more than a minute at times. this also happens when i change tabs (in settings) from disply to any other, or when i select a submenu.
idk why this is happening so any help would be appreciated.
LE. the freeze also happens if i just click the spectrum while everything else except for youtube music and rainmeter is closed.

i really love yours but i want to have the feature where you have the same color as the album art that would be great

I absolutely love this visualizer. I was able to put 2 copies of it on my desktop and with the built in clones this looks absolutely glorious.
Here is a shitty gif of what i've made with your meter: gyazo.com/2ca8131ec81e3ccb069e…

Can you have a go at making a "visbubble" version of this?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
This visualiser is fantastic or any aurora themed desktops but I seem to be having an issue with the smooth ends feature, particularly at the upper limit.
I wanted to produce 3 separate visualisers of different colours each resembling the lows, mids and highs of the sound output. Having attempted to use the clones to produce this effect to no avail I resorted to making 2 duplicates of the original plugin.
However, the lows and mids visualisers have sharp edges on their upper limits, despite smooth ends being enabled. The lower limits of all 3 visualisers have their ends smoothed.
If its of any use, the boundaries between the visualisers' bands are 200hz and 1000hz

I can't recreate the clipping issue, can you post a screenshot?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sorry I didn't reply sooner.
Since you mentioned you couldn't recreate the issue I did some testing myself and I think I've found the cause of the clipping: It seems to happen when the number of peaks are raised above the default value of 21
I recreated the issue I was having with a fresh install of the visualiser: i.imgur.com/8GOyF56.png
The left half of the image is the visualiser with all default variables and the right half is the same visualiser with the number of samples raised 67.
I hope this helps

Love the skin but I keep getting an error Frost.lua:29: attempt to index field"?" (a nil value)
Seems to be causing some high cpu usage. Thanks again and sorry if I am just being dumb.

This is definitely my favorite music visualizer and I have gotten it to work flawlessly every time. The only thing I would love to edit is the color to change as the peaks get higher but I haven't figured out if this is possible.

I tried including dynamic color changing, but it hurt performance too much

Hey, great work! I love the visualizer. But I have a problem with the clone. I use 2 vertically visualizers which one of them is a clone. Everytime I open a program (most times a game) in fullscreen the clone starts to change its position by about 10-20 pixels. I tried to change it back in Rainmeter but the new position is fixed. The position it normally has is 3540 (highest possibly position) and after the bug it's something about 3530 which means that there is a little gap. Can't set it any further than the new position (3529 is possible; 3531 isn't). There is a way to reset it by opening the Frost options menu and clicking on the tabs "audio/extras/etc." often enough because that changes the position as well. After some time it will be setted back to the original position.
I am really not into programing and hope you can help me with my problem.
Cheers
Black
Edit: Aah damn. Nevermind found a easy fix. Uncheck in Rainmeter the option "Keep on screen" for the visualizer. The only thing I didn't try till now -_-

Great Job! Just wondering if the delay can be fixed even on 0 ms attack speed there is a noticeable delay it can be noticed on the bass end of the bar very clearly.

The new update should be more responsive, don't forget to click "Reset audio settings" in the settings window

There are some some new tips posted in the description, hopefully they may help

remember to make sure Rain-meter's volume is on and above 1% otherwise visualizers won't do anything.

I am so thankfull for your latest update. The perfomance improvement works great for me. Great skin!
Do you think a color fade from bottom to top is possible?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not at the moment, this would cause visible pixelation at the top
