  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.

    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.
