Description from store Visualizer of sound, using a custom algorithm (Aurora). Visualizes microphone input. Blog: http://aurorasound.tumblr.com/ 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

(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. :)
