Cool tutorial. I'd suggest having the displacement coordinates set to a null object (instead of local) and then animate that null moving across the screen at a linear constant pace so that the displacement looks like it's flowing through time with the music. Also having the brightness/bloom of the lines driven by the music would be cool too. Oh, and maybe even have the hue slightly driven by the music too. So many possibilities :)

[@JulianTrebes]

great tip!

[@HappyBirthdayGreetings]

nice tip there

[@ChinchillaByte]

Would you be able to walk me through how to do so or what it'd look like please? I'm very new to this but I love getting it right

[@TitansTracks]

@@ChinchillaByte Hey I got the first part to work, here are my steps: 1) SHIFT A --> EMPTY --> Plain Axis 2) Click our PLANE waveform that we made 3) Go to Displace Modifier that we are using 4) COORDINATES = OBJECT --> OBJECT = EMPTY ( The Plain Axis we added) * Test it out, if you move the Plain Axis (the + sign looking thing), then the waveform we made should start wobbling around! 5) Open Up Timeline --> Go to Frame 1 6) Click on the EMPTY object (the plain axis you just added) 7) Go to Right hand Side panel (the one where we added those modifiers) 8) Go to Object Properties ( It looks like an orange square, right below the World Properties) 9) Location X, Y, Z = 0 --> right click any of them and INSERT KEYFRAME 10) Go to the end of your timeline and hit right arrow once ( if you have END FRAME = 3200, then go to 3201) 11) Location X = 25 / Location Y = -100 --> right click and INSERT KEYFRAME for these values. Congratulations! Now you should have a cool moving waveform thingy. Explanation: We add an EMPTY (called Plain Axis) --> We want the PLANE (the waveform we made) to move around as our music plays. To do so, we tie the EMPTY to the DISPLACE modifier. Now when we move the EMPTY around, we are moving the displacement stuff around. Note: I'm not an expert on any of this stuff, and I'm pretty sure I used the wrong terminology (and probably too many CAPS!). But I managed to figure something out so I wanted to share it with you. Hope this helps! 💎

I don't know when this changed, but just to let people know, as of Blender 4.0, this is in Channel > Sound to Samples in the graph editor

Do you know where the apply envelope modifier got moved to?

I'm a simple man. I see a Ducky 3D video, I click.

[@MarcoCortesiAttore]

Little creative trick to animate the waves HORIZONTALLY (a very cool MATRIX-Movie effect): animate over time the "PHASE OFFSET" parameter of the wave texture node. Very cool (the waves look to come toward you or they get lost in the distance) :) With a little change in the "color ramp" connected to the "gradient texture" you can make the waves fade in and out (near the camera and in the distance")

[@calebboyer3838]

I love how you implemented so many aspects of blender I’ve never seen you use before! I can’t wait to try this one for myself tomorrow!

[@neilburgess9652]

actually subbed to your Patreon from this video. First time for everything but I figure I get more for my buck with you and all you have to share than with anyone else. Honestly the only other thing I've paid for is the Creative Shrimp Space vfx course and it was worth every penny. Have to pick your things to pay for you know and this seems to be one of them :) Keep up the good work my man

Awesome! Now you can attach the cloud texture to a rotating empty and make the waves move horizontally as they vibrate!

everyday with your tutorilas my Soul and heart is feeling happy and compfortable Ducky 3D. Thank you so much.

[@quinxx12]

sorry, but why are you still not showing your keystrokes? You know, it's always the shortcuts I don't know that are being left out.

[@DigitalAshes]

QUESTION! Is there a way to make the visualizer react to specific frequencies? Like parts reacting to Bass, Mids, Treble.

[@steprockmedia]

When you import the audio it asks about range. By default it runs the whole range, but you can import just the low end by reducing from that 10,000 down to 500 or whatever. Try it a couple times and see if it gets it.

[@harvey4540]

Great tutorial, but you failed to mention one thing. You never mentioned to change the audio codec. I waited 12+ hours for this animation to render on my dinosaur Lenovo, only to find out there was no audio 🙃 needless to say I need a new computer...

Bro, I literally did everything the same, but mine looks like crap. It's the same but you can barely see the color differences, for example you couldn't even tell it was RGB and the color graphic is like 480p. Is that just my monitor or what's up with that? Pls Help

Use size of the texture, to bake it to the sound. Looks way more dynamic ;-)

[@aneesh1701]

Love the tutorial but I have a suggestion. Your tutorials are really linear. They barely show people what blender can do. I'm 100% sure you can make tutorials about camera tracking and photorealism and such things. I feel all the tutorials are pretty much add an emission and turn on bloom. This is constructive criticism I do not mean to offend you or insult you, your channel is really amazing and it got me into blender.

[@TheDucky3D]

My tutorials are created to teach you several tricks and also make something cool in the end. You are right in ur comment but pointing out that 2 out of the many steps in this tutorial that have repeated in others shows one thing, that many good designs and renders have common processes because it is a structure that works. I’m showing that you can do similar processes and come up with a completely different result and a completely different product. Every tutorial does not have to be completely different from the next. When it comes to motion graphics having that emission glow is very important and it’s something that everyone wants in their motion graphics so of course I’m going to add it. But none of the designs are the same and they all give you a different animation and a different use case. I may have repeated the emission node here but showing the scale limit trick and the compositing tricks or something I’ve never shown and people are going to greatly benefit from.

Make sure you're in the "Animation" tab, and it should be working fine. (I use the latest version as well)

MIDI CLERIC 1 second ago does anyone prefer visualizers to enhanced (saturated, over-exposed) video?

[@blenderharshameva]

When rendered with a transparent background, the render looks fine, but saving render removes all the bloom and also washes away the render.

[@Unravel2800]

every thing is good but when i am rendering the glow disappears does anyone know how to solve it?

Thanks Bro I am Just a beginner Much Use full

[@makeperceive]

Nice. Would be great to see how you use Blender to do things similar to Trapcode Form etc

[@ludvig1001]

Hi! Can first start by saying super cool tutorial! I am however wondering if you would be able to specify the wave intensity based on the music frequency. I'm guessing that answer is most likely a no. :) The use case for this would be to have multiple waves displaying either the Hi-hats, Bass, Lead, etc... I guess if you were to export each instrument and duplicate the steps in the video, one would be able to achieve the mentioned goal of this comment... buuuuut... Then I would need to have the project file for the melody :)

Thank you! How would I extend this by adding a shiny floor and see the reflections on it?

[@fournerdsreview8452]

Add an object, change the BSDF to glossy in materials. If you're in Eevee, click shift a, add light probe -> reflection plane. Move it onto the object surface with G until the object surface becomes reflective. Then position as necessary. I've done this using a plane, following those steps. Then used G and Z to lower the reflection plane onto the plane object until it was reflective. Then I've used shift to grab the plane and the reflective plane, then rotated and positioned them together as necessary.
