After Effects Audio Spectrum Cut Off?

[Guest]

Cant seem to get the audio to go past the blue line? How can I resize the boundaries, without resizing or messing with the audio spectrum circle?

Just an observation....

I see circular audio spectrum questions all the time recently. This must be the latest Hot Thing among the youth of the planet.  A few years back it was making video look like cartoons.  Before that, it was putting video in 3D geometric shapes -- tetrahedrons for the ambitious, squares, etc.  The list goes on.

I wonder how long this particular audio spectrum fad will last before it's beaten into the ground from overuse and becomes trite?

That was very helpful.

I agree with Dave - a lot of audio spectrum lately. frankly, I do hope making this generic type of waveform visualizer does not sum up the visual aspirations of our youth. Ae can do so much more than this circle thing along with some audio playing for 2 hours... but hey! do what you want, who am I to judge?

mbfxa, the blue line is your layer boundaries. the effect is going out of the solid boundaries - the layer you applied it to. you can increase these boundaries in a few ways. one way is to add the motion tile effect prior to the audio waveform and use output height. this will increase the height and allow your effect more room to grow.

What CAN After Effects do? How would you create a visualizer that is not so generic? I want to learn. How should one approach making such effects to higher standards?
