How to do animated music audio waves?

[Eric Taylor]

hi guys, I do a music channel, I wanna bump up the quality of the videos and include an animated sound wave thingy

many music channels such as the xkito channel/monstercat ..etc. show the wave form of the audio file in some animated capacity

how do i do this? i use vegas pro for editing

I do it using after effects.

I take the track into the composition. Make a black solid layer. Apply the Audio Spectrum preset to said layer and link it too the track. From there just adjust the settings within the effect itself. Not sure how to use Vegas for it but this could help you find a way of doing it! Have just done this for all our lyric videos coming up!
