This started as a tool, and grew into an obsession. Yr Xtals is seriously addictive. I can, and often have, been working on testing it and ended up draining hours just watching the visualizer dance to my music. It's fantastic. I can't imagine if you like music that you won't like this. Especially if you're an audio engineer and are hoping to gain a bit more perspective on your work. That is why I originally made this, and while it has grown into something much larger, it is still a precision audio analysis utility that I know you'll fall in love with, like I have. Enjoy!
