What is your favorite music visualiser?

(bonus pts if you run a projector with the lights turned off!)


i'm going with milkdrop. i tried tonnes of stuff in the old winamp days, but once you hit a really good collection and laziness kinda overtakes you... haha, that's a sale, baby.


EDIT... in case anyone doesn't know what i'm talking about, a "visualiser" is a plug-in or program that listens to your music and turns it in to an animated video on the fly. some screen-grabs from milkdrop:

Love iTunes' visualiser. Modern, colourful, and and just works really well.

Wait a second...r u telling me all those random shapes and visuals on winamp were actually correlated to the song somehow?

I thought it was just randomly popping out designs, regardless of what i was listening to.

yeah, since the very first visualiser (atari hardware from 1976) they've been designed to sync to sound properties of the song... like beat, loudness, activity, etc.

it's possible you were using something that only did it subtly. but with most milkdrop routines for example, it's pretty obvious. the same routine can even produce a highly different video on multiple plays of the same song.
