Increase the Frequency Bands to 600 and the Thickness to 5 to achieve a solid shape. Make adjustments to your start and end frequencies based on your own audio and taste. I’m going to adjust my End Frequency to about 200, but this is based on my specific audio. In the Audio Spectrum settings change the Audio Layer to the audio in the composition. With the solid selected go to Effect > Generate > Audio Spectrum. Make a new solid by going to Layer > New > Solid and make sure it’s comp sized. I’ve already got my audio file imported so I’ll drag it into the new composition.
Alright, let’s get started.īegin by making a new composition (HDTV 1080 29.97) and name it “Audio Spectrum”. Hey everyone, this is Owen with Motion Array and in this tutorial I’ll be showing you how to create an audio spectrum in After Effects.
