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.
I’m interested too but I can’t think of anything outside of DMX setups.
The only thing that isn’t good enough to be a good suggestion are the Logitech G560 speakers. You could technically plug them in, mute them, and have them react to the audio. But it’s just RGB flashing mostly.
Yeah that’s why I posted the question here. My request seems to be in some kind of niche valley. On the budget side you have these devices with mics that work fine unless you’re using headphones and on the other end of the spectrum there is DMX which looks amazing (because pro) but isn’t “automatic” since you want to program them for live shows.
If I can’t find anything I will probably invest the time and build something custom like @rkk@lemmy.world suggested.
