📳

VIBRATE

The image shakes and jolts randomly in sync with the volume. Loud bass hit = hard jolt. Quiet passage = still image. The shake amplitude is proportional to sound level.Best for: bass-heavy music

🔍

ZOOM

The camera zooms in and out in sync with volume peaks. Loud moments push the image toward you; quiet moments pull it back. Creates a breathing, pulsing effect.Best for: pulsing beats

⚡

GLITCH

On loud sounds, random horizontal strips of the frame are sliced and shifted sideways — the louder the sound, the more strips fire and the wider the displacement.Best for: drops and hits

🌈

RGB SPLIT

The red, green, and blue channels separate proportionally to the volume — creating a chromatic aberration that grows with the music and collapses back to zero in silence.Best for: ambient and synth

How It Works

Web Audio API — Real-Time Volume Analysis

When you allow microphone access, the filter creates a Web Audio API analyser node connected to your mic stream. Every frame, it reads the frequency data and computes an average volume level. That level — smoothed slightly to avoid jitter — drives the intensity of the chosen visual effect in real time.

The Sensitivity slider acts as a gain multiplier on the raw volume. Lower the sensitivity if you’re in a loud environment and the effect is permanently maxed out. Raise it if the effect feels too subtle. The live VU meter at the top of the controls shows the current volume level so you can see exactly how your sound is being read before you hit record.

Features

Everything in the Sound Reactive Filter

🎤

Real-Time Mic Analysis

Web Audio API reads your microphone frequency data every frame and maps the volume to the visual effect with sub-20ms latency.

🎛️

Sensitivity Slider

Amplifies or attenuates the raw mic volume before it drives the effect. Calibrate for quiet studios or loud venues.

📊

Live VU Meter

A color-gradient bar (green → orange → red) shows the real-time volume level so you always know what the filter is receiving from your mic.

🖼️

Custom Background

Upload any image or video behind your webcam feed. The reactive effect applies on top of the combined output. Drag and drop supported.

🎥

Video Recording at 15 Mbps

Record the reactive effect live with a 3-second countdown. Exports MP4 at 15 Mbps — high enough for professional music video use.

Get Started

React to Sound in 3 Steps

1

Allow Camera & Mic

Click Allow when prompted for camera and microphone access. Both are required — the mic drives the effect, the camera is the canvas. Everything stays local.

2

Pick a Mode & Adjust Sensitivity

Select Vibrate, Zoom, Glitch, or RGB from the mode buttons. Watch the VU meter respond to your environment. Raise or lower the Sensitivity slider until the effect feels right for your sound level.

3

Play Music and Record

Hit the record button for a 3-second countdown, then let the music drive your camera. Or press the download icon at any moment to grab a PNG of the current frame.

Musicians

Film a live performance where the RGB split or vibrate effect grows with your loudest notes — automatic visual choreography.

👏 Clap your hands → Instant glitch

You clap your hands and the image splits into two RGB colors, like a sudden glitch.

👋 Saying “HEY!” → Sudden zoom

You say “HEY” and the camera zooms in abruptly, like a jump cut.

🦶 Stomping your foot → Image vibration

A loud thud and the image shakes as if it’s taking an impact.

🌈 Laughing → Pulsating RGB effect

The more you laugh, the more the colors separate and vibrate.

🫰 Snapping your fingers → Flash glitch

A simple snap triggers a rapid flash glitch.

The filter uses the Web Audio API to analyse your microphone frequency data every frame. The computed volume level drives the visual effect in real time — louder = stronger reaction. A smoothing algorithm prevents jitter between frames.

Vibrate — the image shakes randomly with the beat. Zoom — the camera zooms in on loud sounds and out on quiet ones. Glitch — horizontal strip distortions fire on loud sounds. RGB Split — chromatic aberration grows proportionally to the volume.

Yes. The mic picks up any sound around you — music, voice, bass, percussion. Point a speaker toward your device and the filter reacts to the room. Adjust the sensitivity slider to calibrate for your environment’s sound level.

It multiplies the raw microphone volume before it drives the effect. Low sensitivity = only very loud sounds trigger a strong reaction. High sensitivity = even quiet sounds produce a visible effect. Use the VU meter to dial it in.

Yes. Works on Safari (iPhone) and Chrome (Android). The Web Audio API and getUserMedia are supported on all modern mobile browsers. Front and rear cameras supported.

No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your camera and microphone streams never leave your device and are never stored.

MP4 (H.264 + AAC) on Chrome, Edge, and Safari. WebM (VP9) on Firefox. The recording bitrate is 15 Mbps for maximum sharpness.
