    have u ever heard of the g force music visualizer? what u made reminds me of the visuals it creates.

    one of my life long goals is to make an incredible music visualizer

    Havent heard of that one in particular. Ive made tonnes of audio-reactive systems in TD though, its very easy. Almost every parameter can be modulated by a signal eg audio

    definitely diving into this

    You're in for a treat. When I discovered touchdesigner I was so happy cause it was exactly what I wanted for years.

    These are all YT channels I've used some stuff from:
    ​​-NotoTheTalkingBall (cool 3d stuff)
    -​elekktronaut (LOTS of different stuff, one of the most plentiful channels)
    -​​jackdilaura (some spirograph stuff here if you're interested)
    ​​-raganmd (one of the oldest ongoing teachers out there afaik. At least 10 years of TD experience)
    -​@​mir4486 (see above)
    ​-noonesimg (lots of different stuff)
    ​​-paketa12 (the craziest TD artist out there imo. Does some insane stuff using only TOPs (2D nodes). This guy is a genius, no exaggeration)
    ​​-pppanik007 (some cyberchrome (idk what to call that aesthetic) stuff if you're interested in that)
    ​​-polyhop (my favourite TD artist, their IG is consistently amazing)

    I'd recommend starting with this playlist by elekktronaut:
    youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFrhecWXVn5862cxJgysq9PYSjLdfNiHz

    There's a lot of resources for getting started. Personally when I started I just messed around with it, followed tutorials then changed s*** to see what happens. Most tutorials start from scratch so you can follow all the way through without knowing too much, you learn as you go.

    The derivative website, forum and wiki are also mega helpful:
    derivative.ca/learn
    forum.derivative.ca
    docs.derivative.ca/Learn_TouchDesigner

    And once you get to the python scripting level you'll be looking at this all the time:
    docs.derivative.ca/Python_Classes_and_Modules

    A trick to getting better is by saving your COMP operators in the Palette so you can use them in future projects. Took me a while to figure out the best ways to do this.

    If you run into any trouble or have any questions lmk, I'm happy to help.
