    👇 clamp expression used in this video 👇
    temp = thisComp.layer("Audio Amplitude").effect("Both Channels")("Slider");
    temp = clamp(temp, min, max);
    [temp, temp, temp]

    Hi Nick, thank you for this tutorial :) I'm wondering, if you would know or give me a hint, how to accomplish a custom "stroboscope" effect, reacting to music. All clear to me with "Convert audio to keyframes" and linking to a value. But is it possible (with AE expressions) to play custom clip at certain waveform peaks at certain timeline positions? That clip would be lets say "white solid" with a "fade in - fade out effect", but custom length and nonlinear speed. Thank you ;)

    This was super helpful!! I have a question regarding the clamp idea. Let's say I have my visuals reacting to the kick drum of a track, is there a way to not just clamp the scale min/max but also have it smooth out the decay of each hit? Basically every time the kick hits, the visuals react suddenly. I'm wondering if there's a way of adding some time expression or something to soften the effect so it's not so immediate, or so the scale can gradually reduce back down over the course of ~1 sec instead of being super fast. I thought about adding some reverb to the kick to give the audio some more information as a roundabout way of having it trail off.

    • @KyleWoodard
      @KyleWoodard Рік тому

      @@umershye2931 hey, there may be a more elegant solution with an expression but in a pinch I ended up using an isolated stem of the kick audio with a bunch of extra reverb on the tail of each hit in order to add the taper I needed. Muted that and just had the actual final mix turned on for the export.
