What is the point of an MP3 visualizer?
An MP3 visualizer offers an engaging focal point for audiences on video-centric platforms like YouTube or Instagram. Posting a static image wastes a chance to connect. A beat visualizer that reacts to every rhythm keeps eyes entertained and adds an extra layer of excitement.
