    multiplier = -2;
    temp = thisComp.layer(“Equalizer Bars 3”).effect(“Sound Keys”)(“Output 2”);
    value + [0,temp*multiplier];

    I used this as an expression to have my logo bounce to audio keyframes that go to the music. The only problem is it’s way too fast and crazy, is there a way to smooth this movement down, like a smoother expression or an easy ease expression that I could add. Or any other suggestions are welcomed, thanks.

    Have you played with Soundkeys’ falloff settings? that would be the simplest way. Other than that there is a .smooth() method in AE, but I don’t think it does work too well with temporal data. Haven’t tried yet…

    Sounds like your doing too much.

    Why don’t you just use a

    y = thisComp.layer(“Equalizer Bars 3”).effect(“Sound Keys”)(“Output 2”);
    position + [0,y]

    and tweak your max ins and outs.
