Question What do you think of this 3d-spectrum SS?

Here's the preset. If you can, look at it for a second and tell me what do you think about it.

Pretty nice! The only thing I might change would be the getspec() value, to make it a bit more wavy. But, then that's just a matter of choice, I suppose. Either way, I like it!

Spiral out, my friend. You will find your way back to yourself, we all will.
I'll be waiting, and shall see you on the other side...

hey, really nice basic preset! i'd also change the getspec() somehow (imo the amplitude could be a bit bigger). Anyway, that's just a matter of taste.
Now you should go one and work on the background and i promise it'll be a great preset!

your code is a bit unoptimised
you use a lot of divisions. better replace them with multiplications whereever possible

bad:
a=b/c/d;
e=f/c/d;

so-so:
a=b/(c*d);
e=f/(c*d);

good:
tmp=1/(c*d);
a=b*tmp;
e=f*tmp;


also, you can cache the values for aspect ratio in frame, since the resolution will surely not change between 2 points

If you can't say something nice, say something surrealistic.

TomyLobo, I'll optimize the code as much as I can. I know I left it kinda messy.

^..^, that's the hardest part for me, the background, because I have neither the experience nor the immagination to create a nice one.

Giving a decent background to any spectrum based preset is a very hard task to do usually, but with a good enough idea for the spectrum and a good execution (like yours) you might get away with no or a very minimal background

And a nice spectrum it is, personally i would make the the reactions a bit "sharper" as in adjust the width of the getspec() from 0.04 to 0.01 for example. Also a bit more strength could do some good as with more quiet songs it doesn't do much, just spins around.

Im retarded... err i mean retired!
Probably both...
