I blows my mind how people who make any random thing see it as something worthy of a subscription. Really $8&#x2F;month there have been free products doing this since the early 90s.

For those asking who would pay for this. I’d pay for an api that did this. We have a platform that gets a lot of audio files and it would be cool to run them through something like this to generate the video viz for it.<p>I think the term is audiogram but minus the transcript.<p>While writing this reply I found this <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getaudiogram.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getaudiogram.com&#x2F;</a> So maybe it’s something to check out.

ProjectM is the spiritual successor to Winamp&#x27;s visualiser:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;projectM-visualizer&#x2F;projectm">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;projectM-visualizer&#x2F;projectm</a>

Are you planning to add more visualizations? The stuff on here is pretty rudimentary compared to what I&#x27;m already seeing producers put on my Twitter and YouTube timelines.

$8&#x2F;mo? For a widget? Compared to what folks are doing on ShaderToy, the visualizations you&#x27;ve got here are pretty elementary. I like the spirit, but I think you need to reconsider what you&#x27;re charging for what you&#x27;re actually offering.

This is neat, but no way in hell would I pay $8 a month for it. I’d maybe be fine using credits, but not a subscription.

I actually kinda wished HN had a separate category for free vs. paid HN stuff. Don&#x27;t get me wrong, I&#x27;ve no issue paying for a product, but to click on something that is seemingly interesting only to find out it is overpriced for what it offers? huge turn off. Many of these projects (not necessarily this one...haven&#x27;t looked yet) simply wrap open source into a &#x27;cloud&#x27; offering and charge $X for Y.<p>I do hope we can get some type of filter for these things, or if not, HN should start charging a ton of money for these types of posts.

I&#x27;ve seen the demo of this and it&#x27;s pretty slick! It looks super easy to use and it uses Inngest under the hood which is awesome (I&#x27;m one of the co-founders of Inngest [<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.inngest.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.inngest.com</a>] so it&#x27;s always very cool to see fun and creative projects like this launch with our product - also Sam is great!

Looks like a practice site for Saas, seriously, what was the market research like to see if someone would pay for this service?

i have the inexplicable urge to whip a llama&#x27;s ass

Man, I love the idea.<p>But: 1) It&#x27;s expensive for most music producers that can&#x27;t make a single dollar out of their music<p>2) If you want to reach rich producers the visuals need to improve by A LOT. It looks really amateur, being honest here.

As a music maker, I’m very hesitant to upload my songs to a new cloud service until after they’re published.<p>This doesn’t invalidate this new service, but it might limit its competitiveness compared to self hosted apps.

Did you consider using an existing visualizer like ProjectM to generate the visuals and then record the output to a file? I have no idea if their license would allow you to monetize that though.

This is a neat idea, but I feel like you’re missing the key thing that DAW recordings (and even soundcloud playback) have, which is the ability to see the song structure and anticipate what is coming (the drop etc).<p>If you can come up with a visualizer that shows the entire song&#x2F;clip at once, I think that’ll be much stronger.

I don’t really get it. How is this better (or needed) when compared with MilkDrop?

Curious to hear what you learned so far in doing market research with artists

Sad that a feature that used to be part of the music player is now a thing people bake into videos so it can be posted to social media.<p>And these visualizations are ass. Yes, I&#x27;m allowed to say that.

I miss Winamp

Looks nice, but are there any other visuals than the three you demoed? Also, is your user name in any way related to the bulgarian mobster that got killed in Amsterdam?

Pretty negative response from the commenters.

8 bucks a month for exactly 3 visualisers, something that was free from 90s, not to mention that free[1] and more functional alternatives exist? I think its worth to think about your pricing strategy and adjust prices based on value provided at this moment, not in future years.<p>1 - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vizzy.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vizzy.io&#x2F;</a>

None of the visuals are loading for me. SSL errors for both yandex and your CDN on my network.

No worries fam ZGameEditor got you covered and you get FLStudio with it for one flat fee
