Audio Visualize · screenshot coming soon
What this node does
Audio Visualize turns an audio track into a still image. Two fast modes use FFmpeg (showwavespic, showspectrumpic); two pro modes use ComfyTV’s own higher-detail waveform and spectrogram renderers with metering overlays. It does not change the audio.
It takes a COMFYTV_AUDIO snapshot (or a COMFYTV_VIDEO, whose audio track is used) and outputs a COMFYTV_IMAGE. It has a ▶ Run. A source is required.
To feed native ComfyUI AUDIO in, insert a Bridge — see bridges.md.
When to use it
- Generate a waveform thumbnail for a clip in a storyboard or export.
- Inspect the spectral content of a track (find hiss, hum, or tonal balance).
- Produce a labeled “pro” spectrogram or metered waveform for analysis.
Parameters
mode
Which render. Options:waveform (default), spectrum, waveform_pro, spectrum_pro.
width / height
Output image size in pixels. width 240–4096 (default 1200), height 120–2048 (default 480).Waveform (fast) — split_channels
Boolean, default off. When on, draws each channel in its own lane instead of overlaid. Used by waveform mode.
Spectrum (fast) — color, legend
- color — the spectrogram color map:
intensity(default),channel,rainbow,moreland,nebulae,fire,fiery,fruit,cool,magma,green,viridis,plasma,cividis,terrain. - legend — Boolean, default on; draws frequency/time axis labels. Used by
spectrummode.
Pro spectrogram — pro_scale, pro_colormap, range_db, gain_db, freq_gain
- pro_scale — frequency scale:
log(default),linear,mel. - pro_colormap —
roseus(default) orgray. - range_db — dynamic range shown, 20–120 dB (default 80).
- gain_db — brightness/gain, 0–60 dB (default 20).
- freq_gain — frequency-tilt gain, -10 to +10 dB/oct (default 0). Used by
spectrum_promode.
Pro waveform — show_rms, show_clipping, db_axis
- show_rms — Boolean, default on; overlay RMS envelope.
- show_clipping — Boolean, default on; highlight clipped samples.
- db_axis — Boolean, default off; label the amplitude axis in dB. Used by
waveform_promode.

Tips
- Use the fast modes for quick thumbnails; the pro modes for readable, metered analysis images.
- Only the parameter group for the selected mode applies — the rest are inert.
- Raise gain_db on the pro spectrogram to reveal quiet detail; lower range_db to increase contrast.
