Everytime I've tried to run this it ends up crashing and being utterly unusable on Linux. I've been trying for about 15 years on different hardware. Nowadays I just use a webgl based visualizer.
Some builds are more stable than others. I think I’ve found the SDL build to be the best. The ALSA one was fine bar a few specific plugins that needed disabling but the SDL build on ArchLinux is rock solid.
while it looks seemingly pretty, it is stated as ONLY working on win os X. Keep it.
What OS are you after? It officially supports Windows, macOS and Linux. But I do know of FreeBSD, iOS and Android ports too. There’s bound to be more ports out there as well.
Music visualization is really underdeveloped in my opinion. I've never seen anything I find impressive. The problem is it never really looks very much like the visualization relates to the music I'm listening too. Usually you just kind of see the rythm of the music at most. I want to see something where harmonies look like beautiful patterns, noise looks like noise , and perhaps you could even pick out individual ins…
For some reason around the early 00s peoples love for visualisations fell out of favour. Meanwhile clubs would still hire dedicated VJs and/or lighting guys so didn’t rely on math-based visualisations. Which meant fewer people contributing to developing cool new math.
Worse still, the few industries left that did care about beat detection were games like Guitar Hero, Beat Sabre and those dance machines in arcades; all of which were easier to have patterns programmed by a human due to the limited selection of songs on offer.

> hated-by-nintendo Always surprises me just how out of touch this company is. Just finished reading that huge Twitter thread. That's just so sad.
Which huge Twitter thread?

interesting suggestion! given that alas consumers of the world are expected to enjoy bundled finished products, it seems semi unlikely. so perhaps this suggests a great use case for stream seperators like the one posted a couple hours ago Cassiopeia[1]. ultimately i'd love for music to be more like html- an encoring of content that the user's agent then renders as it sees fit. having individual streams, or something…
> ultimately i'd love for music to be more like html- an encoring of content that the user's agent then renders as it sees fit. Yeah, that would be so nice. Imagine the cool stuff people would be able to do. Disable voice tracks for instrumental versions. Play video games that perfectly synchronize to the music. Make custom visualizers for each song featuring graphics perfectly synchronized to each instrument... I al…
The Two Big Ears "spatial audio" format is just a repackaged WavPack file, after all, and that handles 10 channels of simultaneous audio playback even in streaming environments, and its interface is low-latency enough to perform real-time panning and spatialization processing based on listener position, i.e., for VR environments.
Not to be confused with the community-loved but hated-by-nintendo mod of smash brawl, Project M: https://pmunofficial.com/

I've played live gigs with Project M projecting on a backdrop behind the band. I ran the visuals from my linux laptop which also doubled as my synth. TL;DR: whatchutalkinboutwillis?
Really cool stuff.
I saw Jon Hopkins in concern a few years ago and his visualization was killer. Wonder if he used this.

In fairness, projectm is literally built on 90s tech (Winamp’s milkdrop). For some reason around the early 00s peoples love for visualisations fell out of favour. Meanwhile clubs would still hire dedicated VJs and/or lighting guys so didn’t rely on math-based visualisations. Which meant fewer people contributing to developing cool new math.
