Visualizer of sound, using a custom algorithm (Aurora). Visualizes microphone input.

Aurora visualization algorithm is not only extremely pretty, it's also easier to "read" at a glance than a traditional spectrogram visualization.
----------------
New through v0.1.21:
- Dropped support for MP3 visualization, due to underlying Chrome support
New through v0.1.20:
- Fixed deprectated Web API function
New through v0.1.17:
- Bigger viewer window - because bigger is better
- Wider frequency range for Music & Ambient modes
- Fixed noise filter for "Aurora" algorithm mode
New through v0.1.14:
- Auto-start for Microphone input
- Window resize behavior improvements
New through v0.1.13:
- Sample rates (scroll speeds) adjustable in settings
- "Settings Presets" added on main window
- "Frameless" Chrome app
New in v0.1.7:
- Better options dropdown UX
- 75% noise reduction by default
New in v0.1.6:
- Algorithm tweaks, UX tweaks
New in v0.1.5:
- Opening options doesn't force a window resize
- Added noise reduction
New in v0.1.4:
- Now, with improved spelling!
New in v0.1.3:
- Making viewer resize when window is resized.
- Dark theme, more polished controls

- (2023-01-27) Joshua Cox: Works for me- despite lack of updates, it still works very well. I'm glad I found this years ago, I've had many times where it has been useful for finding background frequencies in microphones/sound recordings and using it to tune my EQ accordingly. I wish it had better vertical spectrogram visualization scaling for viewing specific frequency ranges (sidescroll + low aurora step count = super tiny chart, but I wish it would scale to match window), but overall this does a great job for overall analysis. I also wish it had x and y labels, but that's more a QoL thing than a requirement for visualization. Sometimes it will 'soft crash,' and slow to a crawl and you have to restart Chrome to re-open it, but that only happens when messing about with settings to values outside of practical use ranges.

- (2016-12-21) Cassiano Gatto: Great! IMHO lacks a color scale for intensity when in spectrogram-log mode. THX!
- (2016-08-01) Raphael Healey: Doesn't work
- (2016-02-26) Brad Bettis: great job
- (2015-09-17) Ailex: Doesnt' work
- (2014-12-30) Tony Latham: wont work
- (2014-12-20) Hannah Olmsted: It didn't work at all for me.
- (2014-12-09) Brian McLane: Doesn't work at all. Very disappointed; been looking for an app like this.
- (2014-11-22) Kat Palmateer: It took so long to work- I gave up
- (2014-11-04) A: doesn't work for me at all
- (2014-06-19) Laurent De Vecchi: Very good app! I use it during zen music concerts to show colors of my music to audiance...
- (2013-12-02) M “Quinn” Q: It made my files a bit weird but other than that... No, in all seriousness when I played my music, it made it weird but I kinda liked it. If I could get your permission, I'd like to post the 'aurora' music.
- (2013-11-07) Xxyyyxx Z: Very nice visualizer, runs smooth as silk with no sound problems. I really look forward to more features being added. :)
