Audio Samples
Should I have this enabled? What is it?
Yes, keep it enabled.
An explanation of what it does is available here (scroll down to "Calibrating the data").
😖 WTF‽ Maths? REEEEEEEEE
Yep. Keep the default value; it's the one that looks the best.
samples: an array of audio values for a given point in time; they are represented by e.g. the 128 bars of the visualizer.
-
Temporal Smoothing
It averages the values of the current samples with the values of previous/old samples. In other contexts this is also known as motion blur.
This is pretty much required to be a value> 0, otherwise it may look like the visualizer is updating too frequently.
The suggested range of values is[30...60]. -
Spatial Smoothing
It averages the value of a sample with the values of its neighbours. The effect of this is also known as blur.
| Spatial Smoothing = 0 | Spatial Smoothing = 100 |
