Kaiju – Audio Visualisation System

My new audio visualisation app Kaiju has just been released on Steam. Designed as a more relaxed spiritual successor to Milkdrop it works on realtime system audio. Windows only at the moment unfortunately, but next on the roadmap is cross platform support and microphone audio input. I hope you will enjoy it and if so, come say hello on discord: https://discord.com/invite/45yymHzf38

Kaiju – Audio Visualisation System launched on June 3, 2022 with 6 votes, #1,147 of 3,005 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.

What it does

Kaiju is a collection of 2D and 3D audio visualizations that uses your system audio to drive its effects in real time.

  • Audiocube – A 3D DAW for Spatial Audio2025 · audiocube.app · ▲253

    I’ve recently released my solo project Audiocube I wanted to make a 3D DAW, where spatial audio, physics, and virtual acoustics are all directly integrated into the engine. This makes it easy to create music in 3D, and experiment with new techniques which aren’t possible in traditional DAWs and plugins. I’d love to get any feedback on this software (Mac/Windows) to make it better. You can download it for free through the website. Thanks, Noah

    I used AI to recreate a $4000 piece of audio hardware as a pluginJan 2026 · ▲160

    Hi Hacker News, This is definitely out of my comfort zone. I just wanted to show you guys because I'm super proud of it. It's a 100% faithful recreation based off of the schematics, patents, and ROMs that were found online. So please watch the video and tell me what you think https://youtu.be/auOlZXI1VxA The reason why I think this is relevant is because I've been a programmer for 25 years and AI scares the shit out of me. I'm not a programmer anymore. I'm something else now. I don't know what it is but it's multi-disciplinary, and it doesn't involve writing code myself--for…

  • Phantas – A browser-based binaural strobe engine (Web Audio API)Dec 2025 · phantas.io · ▲28

    Hi HN, I’m a new developer with Aphantasia (no mental imagery). A side effect of this is that regaining focus after a distraction takes me a long time (the "23-minute lag"). I tried standard binaural beats, but I discovered a technical flaw: streaming compression (AAC/MP3 on Spotify/YouTube) often muddies the specific phase differences required for effective entrainment. I realized that to get effective entrainment, I needed lossless audio. Since I couldn't stream lossless easily, I decided to generate it locally. I built Phantas – a browser engine that uses the Web Audio API to…

    I've seen some interests in (simulation) video games here on HN so I thought I'd share a short version of our story. More than 6 years ago, me and my friend from university were playing around with an idea of making a game we always wanted to play. We worked on it on weekends but the progress was quite slow, especially due to so many dead ends and wasted effort. Eventually however, we solidified our direction and decided to take the risk to resign from our well paid SWE jobs and work on it full time. It took more than a year but yesterday we have finally released it on Steam:…
