Also, you can try it for free now.

Good point. I made it like this today — you buy rendering seconds once and use them any time. Also, minimum bundle cost is 4$. Thanks for helpful feedback!

Not yet, seems like it's a lot harder than I do it right now. It might require coding a thing that screen captures the visualizer itself, which is really unstable.
All the visuals are done by HTML/CSS and Web Audio API now.

Hey, thanks for the feedback and helpful advice. It's good that you mentioned attempts to "hack the Spotify algorithm". As an artist I can say that's really common, especially for aspiring artists.
And the thing about technical expertise of music producers: people commented about downloading open source visualizers and all that stuff is "easy to do" which is in reality it isn't, because it's hard to nerd and dive onto tech stuff when you work on music.

Thanks. I didn’t promote it as hard in the circles of music producers yet, so I need to test it out a bit. There’s a lot of user signups that don’t lead to a subscription so I’m going to introduce usage-based billing (buy rendering seconds once, use anytime) and provide cheaper options.

Yep, maybe those visualizations from Winamp looked better, but again – it's all about balance between the good user experience for non-techie musicians and the output.
I wish there's was cool built-in visualizer for iOS player, but here's how it usually looks these days:

Thank you! That's a unique idea tho, I'll consider it.
Despite the fact that DAW recording is technically more difficult to do, sometimes it looks really cool - when you open a bunch of VST visualizers (like iZotope Insight, Minimeters and others), and also people use custom themes for their DAW (for example in the case of Abeton. I often see this), which distinguishes the artist and the video and captures attention.
Here's a camera setup that I really like: https://twitter.com/RichardDevine/status/1676377851468103681...

Hey Dan! Thanks for the feedback and your product, it's never been easier to build background-processing things with Inngest.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I'm reconsidering things right now, free trial and more cheap, usage-based billing are coming.

Hey, the main purpose of the tool is not to enjoy visualizations yourself, but to share with your audience if you're musician. Specifically for teasing your songs that are work-in-progress (snippets).
1. You don't need a computer to make a visualizer video 2. You (obviously) don't need Winamp and video/audio capturing software to make a video.

Thanks!

Yeah sure, the hardest thing is to render cool 3D graphics at scale so it’s simple 2D visuals now

Looks cool! But the point was to provide a fast way to make vids. It's not about git cloning, building from source etc. It's about compromise between good UX and how output looks.

And about the username – nope, it's not related. It's my last name :)

Hey, we've coded internal api that takes three params:
1. Audio file URL 2. Duration in frames 3. Frame rate (FPS)
And outputs a .mp4 video file to S3 bucket.
So it's quite easy to make a REST API version. Let's keep in touch if solution mentioned above does not satisfy you. My email: [email protected]

Hey, thank you for feedback! At the moment, there's only three:
1. CDJ 3000 2. Specre 3. Circle
But I was working on another two and decided not to include in the first version:
4. Trip (https://cdn.banger.show/visuals/160-Tequila-Funk-Drop-The-Bo...) 5. Perimeter (https://cdn.banger.show/visuals/1579016767_flux-pavilion-i-c...)
Be careful if your internet traffic is limited, videos are not compressed/optimized and 150-300mb both.

In this case, that's our product. Managed by musician (me) :)
Sorry for being offtopic, but you can find my artist page if you search for "Tequila Funk". I make electronic music.

Hey! I'm still learning and testing, but here's some of my thoughts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36622992#36623549

Strange.. if it's Yandex and you're from USA/Canada it's expectable I guess, but CDN is just AWS Cloudfront US East 1. I'll try to investigate this.

excited to build something with this!
