I would suggest creating a solid layer, and then attaching the effect wave warp to the solid, and it will give you the wave you might be looking for, then I would personally use Trapcode Sound Keys to make keyframes of your music files, but if you don’t have that plugin then go to your keyframe assistant and conver audio to keyframes. Then you’ll use the expression pickwhip to attach the the wave height, wave speed to the audio keyframes. That should help for starters.
