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.

- 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.

- Nice visualizer. This is the best I've seen for chromebook so far.

- Great! IMHO lacks a color scale for intensity when in spectrogram-log mode. THX!

- Very good app! I use it during zen music concerts to show colors of my music to audiance...

- 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.

- Very nice visualizer, runs smooth as silk with no sound problems. I really look forward to more features being added. :)
