Smoothing of unused bars (Suggestion) #97

Open Jayceena opened 7 years ago

Jayceena commented 7 years ago

When trying to match the monstercat visualizer on their youtube channel, I noticed that unused bars which on the rainmeter skin are at volume 0 are otherwise smoothed out in youtube. For example when playing Who's Got Your Love, the last few bars often are resting at 0, when in the video they seem to decay downwards to smooth it out.

Thanks for your feedback!

I've already tried this in the past with no real results, as the problem is that the visualizer in these videos is prerendered and the skin is realtime and thus it will look better because it can propertly calculate the heights of the bars. This is not that easily achievable on the skin as it needs additional CPU usage which might destroy the performance on lower-end machines.

I will take a look in the next few days if i can implement something similar, but it might simply not possible to do.

If it's possible, it would be a nice feature for those who do have good enough CPUs. Maybe an ultra version or some other alternate release could be done if it isn't too much work for you?
