Description Important:
1. Download the .rmskin file using the button above or Github
2. If any changes to the variables are made, you must run the Auto-Configuration Program to compile and apply them.
3. If the skin does not detect sounds from certain programs or at all, it is not a skin problem, but a Rainmeter or audio driver problem.

Soundwave is a test for producing a visualizer in the form of smoothly connected Bezier curves.

Skins:
Visualizer (Soundwave\main.ini)
Key object that is used to display the audio spectrum. The context menu includes the ability to change the variables file (var.inc) and run the Auto-Configuration Program.

Song Information (Soundwave\songname\sec.ini)
Basic secondary object that displays the artist and song title.
Note: If only the song title is available, only it is displayed. If the song title is unavailable, nothing is displayed even if the artist name is given.

Auto-Configuration Program (Soundwave\autoconfig\program.ini)
Must be ran for a second after variables are changed.

Variables:
(Only these may be changed, others that may be included do nothing)

xconst Width modifier.
yconst Height modifier.
endsize Start and end "flat line" length modifier.
player Music player to retrieve song information from. (default Spotify)

Other Visualizer Options:
The audio plugin's settings can be changed near the top of the file under [measureparent]
The visualizer's refresh rate can be changed at the top of its file (default 50 ms (20 Hz)) under [Rainmeter]
The visualizer's gradient can be changed at the bottom of its file under [maincurve]
The number of frequency bands is hard-coded with dependencies and it may be difficult to change.

Yes, reduce the value of FFTAttack and FFTDecay

main.ini:
...
[MeasureParent]
FFTAttack=1000
FFTDelay=1000

Hello, could you let me know if I can change the sound output?
I use a mixer where I leave Spofity on its own output.

docs.rainmeter.net/manual/plug…
Reference: ID and DeviceList

Get your device ID. There may be a skin that can find this for you, otherwise edit the file, add a DeviceList measure and go to the variables menu to see it

[MeasureDeviceList]
Measurelugin
Plugin=AudioLevel
Parent= (the parent measure's name)

Edit the file and go to the parent audio measure (should be called something like AudioParent or MeasureParent and is near the top). Add the ID parameter which selects the device to measure

Measurelugin
Plugin=AudioLevel
...
ID= (your audio device's id code)

I love this skin it's so clean and modern, but I have one problem: it somehow doesn'T work when using spotify. playing a video via chrome on youtube does trigger the visualizer but not with spotify any way  to fix this?

Most likely a Rainmeter AudioLevel plugin issue, might have to reinstall. Lots of people seem to have this issue
(Search "audiolevel plugin not working with spotify")

Hi there, I'm trying to get this skin to work and I can't because it won't communicate with Spotify. I have manage to get the Monstercat visualizer to work when the WebNowPlaying plugin is installed. But I cannot get Soundwave to work. Really keen to have this one working as it looks so cool. Any suggestions?

CMG-simplestuff In reply to scorch991 [2019-06-27 13:28:18 +0000 UTC]

Unfortunately i haven't played around with WebNowPlaying before, and don't have the pc right now.
I suggest downloading the spotify program on your pc if possible since it's easier

Issue solved, sensitivity was too low. I am now having an issue of the frequencies all merging together but don't know enough about coding to play around with the text file to fix this.

Sorry, no idea how to help.
If you updated by downloading the 4.3 installer, maybe try to uninstall Rainmeter first and reinstall

PlayerTau In reply to ??? [2019-06-16 01:38:14 +0000 UTC]

How exactly would I change the music player? I'm a little lost. Could you give me insight on that? Also, it doesn't show high frequencies on my end. Any fix for that? (BTW, great visualizer here. It's my favorite to date.)

CMG-simplestuff In reply to PlayerTau [2019-06-16 06:28:30 +0000 UTC]

Change the value of variable "player" in var.
Values: docs.rainmeter.net/manual/meas…

The frequencies thing is just an issue on speakers' ends i think. For me the low frequencies don't show when using the computer speakers.

It's too "calm" the way how it shows the music rhythm :/

CMG-simplestuff In reply to FabioSan1 [2019-06-10 08:24:00 +0000 UTC]

that's the point though

Maybe you can decrease the time taken for the shape to change (reduce 1000 to something smaller):

{Soundwave\main.ini}
...
FFTAttack=1000
FFTDecay=1000
