  1. Stacking ordered reactive visualizer layers with blend controls for depth
    Editing & layers

    Working with layers in Novus Visualizers (and which combinations work best)

    Stack ordered reactive layers with blend controls to build depth (a calm background engine, a sharp foreground, accents, and text) and learn the layer combinations that read well instead of turning to mush.

  2. Beat Burst driving motion on detected beats with shake, pulse, glow, and tilt properties
    Audio & beat-sync

    Mastering beat-sync: Beat Burst and beat-reactive properties

  3. Mapping a 32-band FFT (bass, mid, treble, RMS, and onsets) to visual parameters
    Audio & beat-sync

    Audio reactivity in depth: default bindings vs customizing the FFT mapping

    Go past the defaults: understand the 32-band FFT and how bass, mid, treble, RMS loudness, and onset detection map to motion, then customize which audio signal drives which visual parameter.

  7. Working with depth and 3D modes: Bars 3D Columns, Waveform 3D Surface, Tunnel corridor and tube modes, depth and camera controls
    Editing & layers

    Working with depth and 3D modes

    Depth is not a separate engine; it lives inside specific modes. How to use the 3D modes (Bars 3D Columns, Spectrum Spectral Mesh, Waveform 3D Surface, Character Motion 3D Performer, and the Tunnel corridor and tube modes) plus the camera and depth controls that make them sing.

  8. Cinematic finishing: vignette, film grain, chromatic aberration, drift
    Editing & layers

    Cinematic effects and finishing touches

    The post-processing layer that separates a polished visualizer from a raw one (vignette, film grain, and chromatic aberration, plus the drift reaction) and how to use them without overdoing it.

  9. Multi-band beat sync: bass, mid, and treble each drive their own effects in Novus Visualizers
    Audio & beat-sync

    Multi-band beat sync: drive effects from bass, mid, and treble

    Go beyond one global beat: route bass, mid, and treble energy to different elements so a kick pulses one layer while hi-hats animate another, and the same preset looks different on every song.
