Create a Sound Reacting 3D Waveform Animation without 3rd Party Plugins

Satya has done it again. He’s managed to re-wire and re-invent tools that we’ve had for a long time to create what would normally only be possible with third party plugins. For all of you that ask for tutorials that only use built-in plugins, this one is for you. Satya has even created a free preset so you don’t have to re-create the effect from scratch every time.

Satya also wrote an article on his blog comparing the techniques explained in this tutorial to Trapcode Soundkeys.
