Made a VU meter

I tryed to create a VU meter with the AI tool and it went pretty good. I am out of AI points to continue on it.
Just add a track and use input 0 for left and input 1 for right.
Works best if the feature is in Custom freq. and range 200 to 2500 but you can try other things too...

Thoughts?

Yes, I saw in the comments you'd used a whole lotta points just adjusting angles.

I added some extensions...

Give you a lot more flexibility.

I just edited the embedding code so that the link is shown below.

The extended version of the VU shader is shared on the ISF editor website accessible from the link just added by the devs. You can download the .fs from there. Note that, for some reason, the online editor didn't like 'audio' as an input type so I changed it to 'image' to get it on there. While this will work in some versions of Magic, its best to change it back to 'audio'.
