Description from store
* Works on any website.
* Choose among several scenes.
* Share custom scenes.
* It's Open Source
* MilkDrop added! check it out! with 100 different presets!
(more support for milkdrop will come in the future!)
* Adjust General settings to get different effects(on almost all scenes).
(DrawMode, TransparentBackground etc.)
* Play around with scene settings to fundamentally change any scene.
(scenes look pretty boring with default settings)
* Save and/or share custom scene settings as stand-alone scenes.
Note: This extension contains flickering effects.
Hotkeys:
* Ctrl+Q - Toggle visualizer on/off. (sometimes have to click 2 times to start)
* Alt+Q - Open options.
Tips:
* Under scene settings, hover mouse over the value you want to change, then drag mouse up/down while holding down left mouse button to increase/decrease value.
* Set LatencyHint to interactive, it will make the spectrum analyzis more precise, but might trigger a bug where you get choppy sound.
In that case, set it back to 'playback'.
Contribute:
* Suggestions, pull requests, new scenes or other ideas are very welcome.

- Reduce amount of permissions needed.
6.0.11
- Fix bug which affected playing on youtube, things should be more stable now.
6.0.10
- Less crazy default settings for Spectrum Analyziz
6.0.9
- Disabled a couple of butter-scenes that were laggy.
6.0.8
- Chrome update broke utilized functionality, cannot set runtime.Port.name directly anymore, resulted in extension throwing exception and not being able to pass audiodata to scenes. now fixed by passing name in object to chrome.tabs.connect.
6.0.6-7
- Added option `opacity` to SpectrumAnalizyz
- Made ProceduralTerrain lower poly by default (you can still choose whatever poly resolution you want in scene-settings)
- Added option `FadeControls` (fades controls out when mouse is not over controls when enabled)
6.0
- MilkDrop support added (from butterchurn ttps://github.com/jberg/butterchurn) !!
- More support for this will be added, like possibility to create and use custom MilkDrop plugin
5.2
- Make custom ProceduralTerrain scenes work, they were bugged.
- Make transparent background work in proceduralTerrain
- added scene: DacingCubes3DSinus
- added scene: DacingCubes3D
- added site for sharing scenes
- added scene: DancingCubes
- added option: 'LatencyHint', default value is set to: 'playback'.
Earlier we always used 'interactive', but that caused choppy sound on some browser versions.
'playback' option is less precise than 'interactive', so if you dont have any choppy-issues with 'interactive', you should run 'interactive' :).

- (2020-08-01) Денис Дмитриев: Отлично! Самое то для Яндекс музыки!
- (2020-07-30) Chris Hone: Absolutely Fantastic! Is there any way it can be used against the audio feed without having it over the screen that is managing the music, so you don't have to stop the visual or go transparent to control the music?
- (2020-07-02) Gordon Lloyd Goldberg: OMG, this extension is totally amazing!! Love it when streaming from Spotify, Soundcloud, or Amazon Music on my Chromebook... I just wish it would also work when I'm playing local music in a Chrome tab. Maybe in the future? But even if not -- thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!
- (2020-04-05) some weird kid: Really cool and often matches with music

- (2019-11-27) Coby Pickett: id say better than the milkdrop in winamp, love it super dynamic

- (2019-07-29) Luca Gentile: I love so much this extension and I would even donate for it! But the audio sometimes goes away when I start it and I would like to hide the menu bar.
- (2019-07-23) Alex Kennedy: I sat and watched about an hour of music unintentionally. It is phenomenal! Just mind blowing really. I literally said to my (12 yr old) daughter "Man I wish I still did drugs." "Mom!" "Psychedelics I mean, psychedelics" She eye rolled her way out of the room and I continued to tuck into my own little meditative journey via my desktop.
- (2019-06-17) Pappa: ACID
- (2019-05-15) John Miller: This is the app that's putting paid visualizers out of business. You might not ever be more satisfied with a FREE product ever in your life. This isn't a paid promotion; I am genuinely happy that this app exists. Thanks to the creators for making such an awesome product!

- (2020-07-17, v:6.0.12) Tartaruga De Cartola: Start/stop
Hey! I tried to use your extension, but I can't use it. I'm on a Mac, so if I press ctrl + q, nothing happens. If I try command + q, I quit google chrome. Is there any way to change the way to active it so I can use it? - (2020-06-20, v:6.0.12) SP34K3Y: Software version
Hi, this extension is awesome but can you please make an windows 10 version witch doesnt run in browser without the controll panel so i can use it for a dj set? - (2020-06-10, v:6.0.12) Robert Christiaanse: Very simple request: Make it possible tuo use another key combination to start and stop
Hi, I really like your extension. Works great. I use a custom extension which already uses CTRL Q, so it would be very handy if I could use another key combination, preferably one key only (ie. @), because many combination with CTRL are already taken...) Further from that, brilliant! - (2020-05-09, v:6.0.12) Noel Sigafoos: Lagging
Hello, from what I could see, your extension is so so cool!!! Sadly whenever I start up the extension my music becomes very very laggy to the point that I cannot really listen to it. I have turned on FPS and it normally hits 3-16fps and 40 on a good few seconds. This might be a me issue though. Is this visualizer better for computers with better GPU? I think my laptop may be a quite a few years old. Super duper cool product still!! - (2020-04-05, v:6.0.10) some weird kid: Youtube
Basically when I click the button while on a youtube video the video statics for a second and then it doesnt work.. and also if you click the button too many times it mutes the tab and you have to make a new tab - (2019-10-13, v:6.0.10) Razvan Neagu: How do I import custom scene?
First of all, I love the visualizer; it looks amazing - THANK YOU!! Can you advise how do I import presets? I think I am doing it right but the steps that I take crashes the plugin; the imported preset does not display but more than that, the sound stops! I do this: 1) Click on Control > Share Scenes > Scene Sharing. 2) This takes me to http://audiovisualizer.net/. 3) Select a preset from there and click [Get scene] button. 4) Click [copy to clipboard] icon. 5) Go back to my browser tab and paste in Share scenes > Import scene > --> ImportInput. 6) Click on -->Import scene (I tried clicking on the text and on the white space to the right that looks like an empty text field but that now I think may be a button?). 7) I notice that scene appears labeled at the bottom in the Scene text field (with "_custom" appended). 8) I also notice the scene does not look right; it shows as a black blob in the middle of the screen ****ISSUE: When I select the new custom scene, there are two major issues: a) The scene does not display b) Audio cuts out and no way to bring it back but if I wait it out for a minute or so it sometimes comes back... Looks like there must be a different way to correctly import scenes? Thanks! - (2019-06-25, v:6.0.10) cookie boi: milkdrop
When I open the extension, milkdrop doesnt automatically open. then when I click it manually it will open another scene not milkdrop. No matter what I do it wont work, help? - (2019-02-16, v:6.0.7) Derek B: Audio
It no longer reacts to the music. It just plays. Worked fine when i first downloaded it, and i haven't changed anything since. Kept trying last night and noticed after I hit ctrl+q a few times it would just cut my audio out entirely until I restarted chrome. Not sure why this happened. Still my favorite visualizer. If you have any suggestions they would be much appreciated!!! - (2019-01-21, v:6.0.7) Misfitt: Cant get it working
Im sitting on google trying to get it to turn on but I cant, I clicked it a couple of times and did the ctrl-q but it still isnt working - (2018-11-22, v:6.0.7) Zoe Davies: How to question!
How do i set this up as a basic bars style visualizer? I presume its possible but i cant figure it out! Thanks in advance - (2018-11-04, v:6.0.5) Steven Zolneczko: Open Controls Bar
Is there a way to make the Open Controls bar on the top right disappear when I don't need it? Or be transparent? It is distracting when lighter coloured visuals are on. Thanks! - (2018-10-16, v:6.0.5) Coleman Platt: Customizing Spectrum analysis scene
Any way to do advanced customization on the spectrum analysis scene, id like the bars to be a bit transparent and closer together by a pixel. I would also like them to change colors according to a fixed point on the web page. Any chance i can get you to add this or add this myself? - (2018-08-29, v:5.2.15) control panel gone
how do i get the control panel back after closing it? - (2018-06-15, v:5.2.12) Matthew Zheng: Extension Toggle Failing
The extension usually works perfectly fine; however, it seems that if I use the extension one day, then the next day the toggle fails on the website I used it on previously. For example, yesterday I was using the extension while listening to music on Youtube. I am now no longer able to get the visualizer to start on Youtube (any video), but I am able to use it elsewhere (even sites with no audio). Thanks for your help! - (2018-02-13, v:5.2.7) Samantha Bailey: procedural terrain
the coolest scene is the procedrual terrain but its the only setting that makes the music skip but it is the my favorite i so hoope u can fix it :)
