dmn Visualiser vs Kauna

dmn Visualiser turns music into real-time 3D visuals in a web browser, with more than 75 audio-reactive scenes. It analyzes audio locally for frequency bands, beats, BPM, pitch, and musical mood. Audio can come from system audio, browser tabs, audio devices, microphones, or file playback. The maker lists Spotify, Apple Music, DJ Pro, Traktor, Serato, and SoundCloud as compatible sources. Users can let the visualiser choose scenes, switch scenes manually, view them full-screen, and use Dampen mode oriented toward photosensitivity. The maker says GPU-accelerated rendering runs at 60fps and filters heavy shaders on lower-end devices. It says audio processing stays in the browser and audio data does not leave the device; network requests are for authentication and payment. Chrome and Edge support system-audio and tab capture, while Firefox and Safari render visuals but cannot capture audio from other apps. On phones, users can load files; Android users can also use a microphone. The free preview has five sessions, five minutes each, and five scenes. Full access costs $1, paid once.

Kauna is a free Windows music visualizer that turns system audio into animated displays and can also capture sound from a microphone. Its visualizations include Wave, which draws frequencies as fine lines; Confetti, where colored discs change size; and Bars, described as a rainbow spectrum analyzer. The listed choices also include Burning clouds, Plasma, Sound level meter, and Triangular visualizations. Burning clouds depicts illuminated clouds, while Plasma uses smooth color transitions. Sound level meter acts as a virtual device for measuring volume in decibels. Kauna provides a sound-level sensitivity control, lets users select the sound card, and can switch visualizations automatically on a timer. The Microsoft Store lists the software as free and notes that it offers in-app purchases. The available platform information describes Kauna as desktop software for Windows.
