First of all, thank you for the feedback.

Agreed on messaging/processing indicator.

The size of the bars is based on the amplitude of the sound you're processing, so your results will vary, depending on the dynamics of the sound. Have you tried In Rainbows? ;)

Recording - You are correct. I think a count down would also be useful. Currently, the recording starts as soon as you hit the button, which can produce some silence at the beginning of the recording if you're not on it. I like the playback idea a lot, though.

Thanks again!

Tried a few different tunes, found Violence by Andy Stott to be the most interesting due to the intense dynamics of the track: http://i.imgur.com/YYFBxBN.png

A little more feedback:

- It bothers me that I can't make the bars completely square (the most square setting has a slight roundness to it).

- Maybe an option for designing a custom palette would be interesting. Maybe importing one from http://www.colourlovers.com/ or a similar service could be an option.

- A free download as desktop background option would be a nice touch. Free advertising.

Can you send me the draft id? hello@soundviz.com
Arr, I don't think I have it sorry. I'm not registered. Tried to go back in browser history, but that doesn't seem to work.
