Creating sound waves from songs

Use Search songs under the Audio tab to pick a track from Spotify’s catalog and generate a sound wave in the editor.

Songs are a great source of inspiration when making sound wave art. They are also one of the easiest ways to experiment with WaveVisual. To turn a track from Spotify’s catalog into a sound wave, use Search songs in the editor.

  1. Open wavevisual.com/editor.
  2. In the left sidebar, select the Audio tab.
  3. Under Add your audio, click Search songs (Find music from Spotify’s catalog).
  4. In the Search songs dialog, type at least three characters in Song name or artist. Results are powered by Spotify’s catalog.
  5. Choose a track, then click Confirm song. WaveVisual loads the track and builds the waveform on your canvas.

When you start typing, WaveVisual searches Spotify’s catalog and shows matching tracks and artists.

After a song is selected, WaveVisual fetches the audio analysis for that song and refines the analysis to generate an accurate, visually appealing sound wave.
