Cross-platform Audio Visualizer for Alsa
Cava is a bar spectrum audio visualizer for the terminal (noncurses and ncurses) and GUI (SDL). The visualization looks very pretty, but is not intended for scientific use.
Cava is configurable through the use of a config file, which allows for setting the colors, framerate, display mode and even customizing the equalizer. To do so, you can simply copy an example config to the config location!
It also works with many sound servers/sources, such as Pulseaudio, Pipewire, or JACK. Check software prerequisites for more.
