Currently, six audio visualizer templates are available. Each template has slightly different detailed settings, so you can customize them to create your own unique visualizer.

You need to select which audio source the visualizer should react to, such as desktop audio, a microphone, or a **Music Playlist**. For more information about the **Music Playlist** source, refer to the page below:
