Capsize Audio Visualizer

Turn music into motion

Capsize Audio Visualizer is a native desktop visualizer for Windows and Linux. Choose a shader, select your audio source, and turn music into real-time color, shape, and light.

Built for music playback, streams, experiments, and ambient displays, it combines hardware-accelerated OpenGL visuals with responsive controls and persistent settings.

Features

• Real-time visuals driven by bass, mids, and treble
• Five shader scenes: Neon Shapes, Audio Rings, Plasma Nebula, Cosmic Web, and Rainbow Prism
• Editable neon shapes with position, size, rotation, color, audio-band assignment, drag placement, saved scenes, and reset controls
• Dynamic shader controls with sliders and color pickers
• Fullscreen mode for ambient displays and performances
• Native C++ / Qt6 / OpenGL application

Audio capture

Windows

Use WASAPI loopback to visualize audio from your speakers or headphones. Select the active output device in the audio source menu.

Linux

Use a PulseAudio or PipeWire monitor source, such as Monitor of Built-in Audio. Monitor sources capture speaker output directly; choose a physical microphone if you want to visualize room sound.

System requirements

• Windows 10 or newer, 64-bit, or Linux x86_64
• OpenGL 3.3 or newer
• Linux: PulseAudio or PipeWire with PulseAudio compatibility
• Windows: WASAPI audio support
