I make music for therapeutic reasons. I’ve found that immersive visualisations and lights help with this a lot. I’ve already bought a couple of rack-mount spectrum analysers and they are awesome.

Do you know of other devices that provide a similar visual experience? I know there are a bunch of cheap bouncing led bars on ali express and the likes but there is a problem: They work based on microphones. I need to be able to plug them in because I use headphones most of the time.

I know it is kind of niche but any pointers would be appreciated.

    Not sure how you’d pipe external audio into these, but it might be worth looking at visualizers on PC. Stuff like milkdrop, or whatever format Winamp used to use.

      I hadn’t considered additional displays until @risibledog@waveform.social and you mentioned solutions like that. Good idea and worth exploring.

      For now I think I have settled on DMX as it is expandable in the future. I will just need to figure out the audio or midi to DMX situation. But that’s just software I can run on my DAW pc.
