I'm curious how would one go about making the wave form, 1000x1000 (outer direction) around a image I got, when I set the size to 1000x1000, and change the deadzone, the waves become so tiny it's impossible notice, I wanted have something like NCS has

Yeah so I know it's a bit confusing but in radial mode the 'Height' option controls the diameter of the outer circle and 'Width' controls the width of the graph to be wrapped around the circumference of the deadzone.
With a small deadzone this means you're trying to cram 1000 pixels into a tiny circle so it gets squished. Some combination of increasing deadzone, reducing width, and adjusting the cutoffs (closer together) can help ameliorate this.

You can also reduce 'FFT Size' to make the lobes bigger in exchange for reduced frequency resolution (which can be very noticable at the low end).

Hello everyone. I have a question, I'm using the plugin to monitor some audio signals but when I lower the volume control of the source it keeps showing the same level, is there any way to change that? Or could an option be added to make it work this way in the future? Regards.

Hi, hope this message can reach the solution. I find that the waveform visualizer is only active if the scene is active, if the scene with waveform visualizer is not active, which means the scene is not shown at the moment, even though the video is still playing, the waveform stops. Is there any workaround?

This is by design to avoid wasting resources in the background, but it shouldn't happen if the source is visible anywhere in OBS.
If your really need it to run constantly you can pop out a projection of the source or preview of the scene and that should keep it alive.
Is there some scenario where the source stops even though you can still see it in OBS?

I'm having a problem using the Waveform plugin after my update to OBS 30.3. I was originally using OBS 28.
My setup is ruinning OBS KDE Plasma on Ubuntu on a VPS. I'm broadcasting to Owncast on the same VPS
The scene that works fine in OBS 28 but not OBS 30.2.3 have Waveform source overlaying a VLC Video Source.
When using the Waveform as an overlay to the Video the video and audio stutters in Owncast.
If i run a scene with Waveform source only and not video then everything is fine.
Can I fine tune Waveform or try different settings rather than default for the Waveform source?

Turned out that was not the issue.. Never mind!!
Love the plugin!
