Madrix 5 comes standard with some pretty serious audio analysis backend that not only allows you to output your audio from a clip, but to turn that audio into analyzed, visualized content. The software can analyze audio from your canned clips or bring in a live audio stream and turn it into a look all of its own, complete with control over speed, size, color, shape, movement, and a bevy of additional parameters. Ostensibly, you can make entire shows’ worth of content based on the incoming analysis of audio from Madrix 5, or not, or mix the two choices into a third. There really isn’t much limitation when creating with this software.
