SpeAnaLED

About

• SpeAnaLED is a WASAPI(Windows Audio Session API) Loopback Spectrum-Analyzer-like visualizer with LED-matrix-like visualization. (L+R Max. 2 channels)
• "Loopback" means,
  • You don't need to load files,

• SpeAnaLED can be re-sized, so you can reside on your PC desktop by putting it on your "Startup" folder.
• SpeAnaLED is a tiny program. Its size of executable file is about 64KB itsdelf, about 900KB including dlls. In the case of my 8 years old PC, CPU load is 0.1% or less, uses about 90MB process memory. No use of DirextX 2D, only GDI/GDI+ Win32API(System.Drawing(.Drawing2D)) is used.

Other precautions

SpeAnaLED is simply made to be seen and enjoyed by myself. The frequency displayed is most likely not accurate.

If a problem occurs, first try deleting your configuration file(SpeAnaLED.conf) and restarting SpeAnaLED. (After that, enumerate sound device from setting dialog again.)

Have fun music!
