How to create 3D audio visualizer that's like this?

[Robert Müller]

You could do this:

Create a solid, apply the Audio Spectrum or Waveform effect, make sure start and endpoints are to the very left and very right of the layer, then apply a CC Cylinder effect. It remains a 2D layer but will interact with cameras and you got 3D controlls inside the effect

That did the trick, thank you! Now I’ve just gotta make the triangles move up and down to the beat and I’m done

[Robert Müller]

You can extract keyframe values from the audiochannels and use the now generated slider values to drive the position of your triangles, using a linear function. You should smooth the audio values out though, see this:

For example, this is what I quickly put together:

the 36 is the max value for the song I used, this might be different for you. I used the layername as the last parameter, so Ive got a quickly interchangeable variable, to have some variation in this

s=thisComp.layer("Audio Amplitude").effect("Both Channels")("Slider"); //my null with the audio-keyframe-data
y=linear(s,0,36,0,thisLayer.name)
value-[0,y];
